t seems to me that the gold stock

TT seems to me that the gold stock
Il must be regarded as an instru-
ment to be used as wisely as we
know how for the benefit of the
people and with the intention to do
substantial justice with it as be-
tween man and man. Who owns it
is of no Importance and can not in
fact be decided. Monetary gold has
no great value except as it is used
to facilitate the exchange of goods
and to stabilize what one man must
pay another for goods, services and
debts. 1t may be, though this is, I
think, still an open question, that
men will decide that monetary gold
can best be used by never allowing
any one to own" it much as men
have decided that scientific dis
coveries can best be used by never
allowing any one to own them.
How to use gold most wisely is a
question not of morals, but of ways
and means, to be settled by broad
judgment of the probable conse-
quenceS and not by dialectics as to
property.
Maybe Mr.. Keynes is right. May
be the present tendency will be
carried to its logical conclusions and
gold will pass out of sight forever.
1T no longer passes from hand to
hand. and the touch of the metal
has been taken away from mems
greedy palms. This little household
gods, who dwelt in purses and
stockings and tin boxes, have been
swallowed by single golden image
in each country, which lives under
ground and is not seen. Gold is out
of sight-gone back again into the
soil" I do not know. It's just as
possible that gold will become
cheap again and that no one, not
event governments or central banks
will wish to hoard it.
These are questions which we
shall answer when we have lived
longer and learned more. But as
we live to learn, let us at least do
what we can to clear our minds of
the crude illusion that monetary
gold is like an umbrella, the prop
erty of the man who happens to
hold it

During the early dealings price

ume light.

DIP FRACTION

Routine News Disturbing to
Wheat Traders: Oats
Higher.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 26-Routine de-
velopments were disturbing to wheat
traders and futures opened frac-
tionally lower on the Board Of
Trade today
Wheat deliveries were : to Z
cent lower, corn ranged from 4
cent lower to Is cent higher and
oats were Is cent higher.
The dollar was stronger, London
gold was down, stocks were mixed
and cotton futures advanced slight
ly. Traders felt that until some
new stimulus arrived, the market
would remain Stagnant.
The possibility of early news from
Washington of favorable action on
pending money legislation was eX-
pected to encourage most longs to
hold on.
