Gold Again.
ON the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
The resolution on gold passed by
the International Chamber of Com
merce and sent out from Paris has a
European accent. The distinguished
names attached are foreign with one
exception. That name belongs to Mr..
Arthur Baldwin, who is president of
the American Chamber of Commerce
in Paris.
The stand taken in the document is
for early currency stabilization on a
gold basis. This is posted on the
warning that a currency devaluation
race will come unless measures are
taken to avert it. Fear is expressed of
additional anti-dumping and quota
restrictions which will defer the re-
turn of better trade relationships.
On this side of the water there is
silence in regard to international sta
bilization 1t is well, however, to re-
member that Secretary Morgenthau
warned the reporters at the time dol
lar devaluation was announced that
he would not answer questions about
negotiations concerning stabilization
with England.
In a recent publication of the Guar
apty Trust Co. of New York the opinion
is advanced that the devaluation pol
icy of the administration has borne
a part in starting the rise in prices
desired as the outstanding measure
for recovery 1t is admitted that the
increase came before rather than after
the reduction in the gold content of
the dollar, but that was discounted
we'll in advance of the fact. 4

passage of the act by boom in the

our money under the act received
the public approval of members of
the firm of j. P. Morgan, while spokes-
men for the laborlng classes con-
demned it.
There is nothing quite like this in
fation act i'll all history. 1t pro-
vides for imitation by every known
method of monetary manipulation, by
banknote issue by irredeemable paper,
by debasement of the established gold
coin, by bimetallism, by arbitrary in

powers have been exercised. But al

to pay gold coin on our public debt
and piled some more worthless silver
dollars in the Treasury vaults and
added enormously to the liabilities of
the Treasury.
With what results? Investment has
been SO frightened that the very
springs of credit have dried up and
the revival of the capital goods in

postponed. Another result was a wild
disturbance of the foreign exchanges

body there has not been, probably,
any single act so undignified as your
wording of the measure that repudi-

experts with an ak TO grind, applaud
the proposal. But a little while later
they discover that prices are rising
much faster than wages. And then
there is labor trouble. The price rise
increases the cost of government. And
then there is taxation trouble. The
price rise stops exports. And then
there is tariff trouble. The price rise
engenders unhealthy speculation.

Japan Urged to Control Production
To Prevent World Ban on Goods

minister OF commerce and industry.
who states: In discussing the ways
and means by which We can main
tain and increase the volume of our
foreign trade for this year We should
bear in mind the fact that all the
countries of the world which are suf-
fering very badly from the prevail
ing depression are tending more ap-
parently to economic nationalism with
all sorts of exclusionist measures, such
as imposition of prohibitive tariffs, in
an attempt to maintain their home
industries in the face of competition
from the rest Of the world. And es-
pecially noticeable has been the anti
Japanese exclusion in the countries
whose industries have been affected by
the entry of Japanese products.
THE question of how to keep and
increase our export markets is a big
one for us under these circumstances
am inclined to believe that we can
have no better policy at this moment
than a compromisSary trade principle
based on mutual benefit agreements
with all the leading industrial coun-
tries.
1T follows. of course. that we will
be obliged to enact some domestic
laws which will govern export trade
and home industry in general in order
to conclude conciliatory trade agree
ments with the countries which may
resort to exclusionist measures in the
future. But what seems to be a mat
ter of really urgent necessity at this
time is the thorough-going control
of all export trades.
"And exports of country can hard
ly be controlled effectively unless home
production is put under control. I
hope the nations will seriously take
into account the general trend Of the
world and cooperate with the Japa-
nese government so as to cope with
the trade barriers contemplated in
many countries"
1t was not until China imposed a
general boycott of Japanese goods that
Japan turned her serious attention to
the development of the world market
Having gained entrance, and in spite
OF the fact that China has removed
the boycott, Japan's productive enter
prises have gain great momentum.

TOXIC. Japan.-With Italy. Great
Britain and the United States seri-
ously considering methods to prevent
the wholesale importation of cheap
Japanese goods which are flooding the
world market. some of the more far
sighted industrial leaders of Japan
are openly advocating the control and
limitation of japanese production be-
fore the problem assumes too seri-
Gus aspect.
Japan at the moment is fighting
against economic isolation which is
seriously threatening her. While she
had reached an accord Of sorts with
India, she has yet to thrash the
matter out with England and other
nations.
Warning of the danger threatening
her markets, Hisakira Hijikata. gov
ernor of the Bank of Japan, in his
annual statement says that, while the
last year shows evidences of substan-
tial betterment in business conditions,
it is not improbable that international
economic relations will hereafter in
crease in complicacy and that barriers
against Japan's foreign commerce
will become greater. He calls for a
united effort on the part of the ma
tion to Surmount this ever-rising bar
rier.
"Boycotting Develops"
Arguing for control of production
is Baron Seinosuke Ooh, former pres
ident Of the Toxic Stock Exchange
and leading figure in the great house
of Mitsui. In a statement Baron Cob
declares:
THE boycotting of our goods is fast
developing in many foreign countries.
Control Of export is, therefore, the
thing that Japan should attend to
first of all, particularly at the mo-
ment. Our exporters, prompted by
rash competition and cutting one
another's throats, have been Offering
their goods at excessively low prices,
which has not only deprived them of
the profit that should have come to
them otherwise. but has served sim
ply to give rise to more rigorous ex-
clusion in many countries under the
charge of dumping operations.
I'VE should get rid of this poor
commercial practice. And propose
that strict control should be en-
forced over all the branches of the
export industries of the country,
although we may be called upon in
some cases to take some counter or
retaliatory measures against those
countries which deal with our goods
with extreme severity.
1T seems that control of export is
an absolute necessity at present in
view Of the tendencies of the world,
but the trade must be put under sys-
tematic control only when we effect
rational control over the entire list
of our productive industries. or rather
over the whole economic life of the
country"
Agreeing with this point Of view is

ReS0lute on Pay.

About pay of Government employees,
also, Mr.. Roosevelt has been as reso-
lutte as about compensation of vet
Grams. Having got from Congress, in
March of last year. authority to re-
duce the pay of Government employees,
he made a fiat reduction of Is per
cent. When this first reduction came
to an end in July, 1888, he renewed
1t for six months. When it again
came to an end on January l of this
year, he again renewed it. He con-
tinued in a position of keeping this
IS per cent cut in effect up to the
moment when Congress overruled his
action.
There is yet another evidence of
Mr.. Roosevelt'S resolute and sustained
policy of keeping the regular annual
expenses of government down. When
N. r. A. and the Blue Eagle were
adopted last Summer. every private
employer in the country was urged to
in effect required to-raise the pay
OF employees and at the same time
reduce their hours. The largest en-
ployer in the country, however was
Uncle Sam. and Uncle Sam never did
either. The Federal Government is
the one employer in the whole coun-
try who has never conformed to NJ
r. A. pretended to. This failure
of the Government to unite with N.
R. A. must necessarily have represent
ed, on Mr.. Roosevelt's part, an ex-
treme determination to keep the costs
of government down. Mr.. Roosevelt

THE Halloween OF today--a
night of fun. frolic and for.
tunerguessing-bears a marked
relationship to fits ancient prede-
cessors, "Samain" and "All Hal
lows Eve"
On the wftching eve. nowadays,
house-owners the nation over hold
q vigil of worry. hoping that mis-
chievous small boys will leave
garbage cans, gates, ETC., where
they found them. and not on con-
venient branches of nearby trees.
Centuries ago. barbaric Celtic
Druids crouched, fearful. in their
bonfire-protected caves, praying
that evil spirits abroad that night
In animal form would ignore
them. That was "Samain," q
night named after "Shaman."
Druidic lord Of death.
Christianity routed paganism,
and "Samain" became "All Hal
lows Eve (Holfest EVENING""
which in time was corrupted into
Halloween" Religion banished
to a great extent the fear Of evil
spirits, and Halloween became q
time of thanksgiving for the har.
vest. of sorrow for the passing Of
the summer sun.
Modern Halloween, therefore,
descended from q harvest festi.
val. which explains the predomi.
nance Of pumpkins, vines, nuts,
apples. cider. etc. In present-day
observance.
