Feature In Policy

at a greatly overvalued rate may
be substituted. More than that,
there is no limit to the amount Of
paper dollars to be issued.
And why say the first "interna.
tionap currency? I doubt If the
dollar is any more an interna-
tional currency than the franc.
Nor is it true that the franc is
overvalued. ct has already been
devalued 30 per cent? If the
value of the franc is uncertain, it
Is solely because Of our initiation
ary manipulations, which are dis
turbing all currencies.
Says 1t Is Untrue
1t is said that the Roosevelt
dollar" has its value publicly
and legally" fixed. This is alb
Solutely untrue.
In the first place, no govern
ment can fix the value of any,
thing-wheat, cotton, or dollars.
The value of a thing depends
upon what it will exchange for.
That depends upon demand and
supply-upon what individual
buyers and sellers think.
To say the value of the dollar
is publicly and legally" fixed is
to say that we have "fiat
money!
You see, even if a definite
quantity of gold somewhere be-
tween 11.61 and 1898 grainsD
is put in the gold dollar" that
doesn't determine what a dollar
is worth. We use paper dollars

Gates, and bank checks.
challenge anyone to say
what the dollars we use are
worth-in gold or anything else.
Would Create Court
We are told that we must
understand that the American
policy does not resemble an
automatic gold standard" Well,
what does it resemble? There
can be no real gold standard
but an automatic one.
The croWning piece Of logic is
the suggestion that for a real
gold standard we substitute a
monetary supreme court of emf
nent gentlemen, who will from
time to time hand down de-
cisions as to what the dollar is
worth! You see, that is not a
gold standard at all. These
cloistered gentlemen would de-
eide. That would give us a
judicial fiat money.
We are told that they would
be distinguished persons "abso-
lutely withdrawn from money
making"

would be a supreme court" to

system. And why stop at 1881?
Apparently that year is picked to
shut out the earlier definite reval-
uation of their currencies in gold
by France and Italy, and Eng
lands courageous but ill-timed at
tempt.
More astounding still is the
statement that the new policy is a
definite commitment to hold the
dollar between so cents and 60
cents gold, and that the dollar
thus becomes the first interna-
tional currency to have some pub
licly known relation to an objective
measure of value"
No Commitment Made
The latest change in policy"
makes no commitment whatever
to hold the dollar to any level OF
value. The American dollar is,
and will remain, a paper dollar.
The value of that dollar depends
entirely upon what it buys. If
wheat sells for a dollar a bushel,
then the value of the dollar is one
bushel of wheat, etc. That is all
there is to it.
And the purpose is to raise
prices to a "fairer" level. That
must mean to reduce the value, or
purchasing power. of the dollar.
No Relation Proposed
No definite relation between the
dollar and gold is suggested or
proposed. There is talk of a $3.50
cent dollar; but (1) that is 20 per
cent indefinite, and (2) that con-

Hon. Andrew H. Green,
Comptroller of the Central Park
My dear sir;
have the pleasure through you to present
to the Central park commissioners the colos-
sal statue of Columbus" the work of our
gifted countrywoman, Emma Stebblns. Co
lumbus Is represented as standing upon the
deck OF ship alone and at midnight, just
before the land OF the Western continent
burst upon his view. His mutinous crew have
all deserted him and are feastng below,
while he-the intrepid discoverer, with a
firm grasp upon the rudder-post looks eager
ly, anxiously forward, piercing the darkness
with his eye OF faith. and with earnest
prayers to heaven for success waits for the
dawning OF day--that day which, coming at
last, brings with 1t victory and repose.
This statue Is truly grand In Its conception
and beautiful In Its execution--worthy, In
deed, TO occupy prominent place In our
Central park. 1t will add one more attrac-
ton to that charming spot, which the com
missioners and yourself have done so much
to adorn for the pleasure and delight of the
people.
The statue and pedestal are both at the

"A llfe-sze white marble statue OF Christopher

park, will be placed shortly In Columbus park,
at Baxter, Mulberry. Bayard and Park streets.
This announcement was made yesterday by Park
Commissioner Robert Moses, who said the statue
was an exceptionally fine piece of work 1t was
carved OF years ago by Miss Emma Stebblns,
then In Italy.
Existence OF the statue was disclosed to the
park department officials through receipt OF a
letter two months ago from John Barnell OF SYRIA

OF Columbus was stored In one OF the park de-
partment buildings. Mr.. Barnell wrote that. as
a collector Of Columbus monuments, he would
like to have photograph of the statue carved
by Miss Stebbins.
