The Navy says the move would save
50 600. 600 a year. That is the best
argument for it, but impartial budget
officers do not agree They think 1t
will cost the Navy just about as much
to do Coast Guard work as it now costs
the Coast Guard.
Why Mr.. Roosevelt likes the idea 50
much is that 1t would provide jobs for
the budding admirals who are gradu.
ated from Annapolis each year and
have no place to go.
Another reason is that when he was
q young man in the Navy Department
he recommended the transfer. and
somebody turned 1t down.
Big Gold News In Sight.
Morgenthau passed out these new
gold regulations with an innocent look
on his face. 1t was almost too inno-
cent.
The idea was created that the regu-
lations were just a routine matter Of no
importance Actually. they suggest
plenty. They came the same day the
Committee for the Nation started howl
ing that the gold price policy was not
a success because the London bankers
are blocking 1t. The committee has
called the turn on each step the ad-
ministration has taken up to now. At
present 1t appears to be riding on .
back seat, but 1t Is still trying to call
another turn.
1t demanded doubling the price of
gold.
II Mr.. Roosevelt were going to do
that, the first thing he would require
is Just such regulations as Morgenthau
issued.
There is nothing neD about the
current idea that the Government
iDill issue paper money after 1t de-
Ddlues.
That Is just an obvious and neces-
sary detail OF the original devaluatlon
scheme 1t is being played up now a.
IL 1t means Mr.. Roosevelt Is dropping
his old idea and going in for something
new.
Devaluation to 50 cents means the
Treasury needs only half OF its gold
reserves rs . backing for money now
outstanding But it cannot keep that
gold profit in a vault. The profit natu-
rally must be used to pay the Govern
ment debts. The only way to pay
them is in dollars, so it will issue dol
lars against its gold profits.

are wholly selfish in their purpose. be-
cause some of them apparently believe
sincerely that Coast Guard efficiency

the move.
However, non partisan will find 1t
difficult to understand that. The Coast
Guard people have been trained all
their lives in saving lives, relieving the
disabled combating Smugglers and
protecting shipping. The Navy people
are trained for entirely different
work.
They are no more alike than a po-
