THE entire problem of the regula-

problem, which should be handled by
medical people and under medical su-
pervision," DR.. George Lyford of the
University CT Cincinnati's Medical
School told the American Conference
on Birth Control and National Re-

The speaker said he wished to make
a strong plea for the continued inter-

in groups, are attempting to fathom
the fog of ignorance and establish the
facts with regard to this important
phase of medicine"
DR.. Walter Timme. professor OF
clinical neurology, Columbia Univer-

that at least two and a half years
should separate child birth if the
health interests of mother and chilC
are to be safeguarded.
Another speaker before the second

Scientific knowledge, he said, will re-
place the ancient tendency TO de-
pend upon ignorance, superstition and
fear as prime elements in enforcement.

POLICEMAN CLEARED
IN SHOOTING OF MAN
Coroner's Jury Holds Officer Fired
at Colored Man in Self
Defense.

:. A coroner's jury today absolved Po-
liceman Wallace NJ Suthard of blame
in the death of Robert Lewis, colored,
rs. who was shot while resisting arrest
November 80 and died of peritonitis at
Gallmger Hospital January l3.
After hearing testimony that Lewis,
who was wanted for questioning in con-
nection with hold-up, had attacked
the officer with a 4-foot stick before
the shooting occurred. the jury re-
turned the verdict holding Suthard had
fired in self-defense and in line of duty.
The officer said he had slipped to his
knees in attempting to dodge a blow
from the stick and fired as Lewis was
advancing toward him. The shooting
occurred in the 400 block of G place.
Capt William /. Holmes Of the first
precinct took the stand in behalf of
Suthard. commencing him as an efn-

Status of John Does $40 !.
Most Experts Agree Nothing Will Happen for Pres.
ent, But Any Number of Things in Future,
Under Rooseyel's Program.

Mr.. Doe is further interested to know
that devaluation will mean q profit of
several billions to his Government, and
thus indirectly to him. If the legal
1922 grains of gold in a dollar should
be reduced to half that amount, then
the Government has two dollars. with
half as much gold in each one.
The profit is new money, created by
the simple bookkeeping operation of
writing up the price of gold, or. in
other words. reducing the amount of
gold in the dollar. To'the extent that
his money is used, there is some in
flation. 1t will be only credit expan-
sion If used to retire Government
bonds.
The use of the profit to retire bonds
or for other purposes would reduce to
slight extent the taxes John will have
to pay to retire the Government debt.
More remote from Mr.. Doe is the
use Of part Of the profits to buy for
eign exchange and gold. Thus the
purchase of large amount of English
pounds would tend to raise the price
of those pounds and correspondingly
lower the price Of the dollar In terms
of pounds. II pounds are high in rela-
ton to dollars it takes fewer of them
to buy American wheat. and wheat ex-
ports might be expected to increase.

DA LIN. HAHN OCNNlSON BROWN.
COLUMBIA, Mo, January Is [P.-
am quite in favor of a monetary sys-
TEN which provides for changes in the
price Of gold. To this extent, / SYM
pathize with the policy of the adminis-
tration. But I insist that gold pur-
chases Cor gold and silver purchases,
taken alone and without increase OF
circulating medium cannot be counted
on either to stimulate business or to
raise the level of prices.
Some restoration of prices is essential
to relieve debtors and to enable banks
to collect on what have been frozen
loans" SO far as such loans have not
already led to insolvencies. Stimulus
to business is essential to the merchant,
the manufacturer and the worker of
every class and degree Of skill. Such
stimulus, if it is TO come quickly, must
come through greater purchasing power.
i. e., through an p-crease Of circulating
medium.
Bonds Cut purchase Power.
The volume of trade is greatly in
f1uenced by the volume Of money and
bank checking accounts. Just as an
increase of circulating medium can
stimulate trade, so a decrease (Which
may be caused by sharp Federal Re-
serve credit restriction such as that of
1920 can greatly depress trade by
causing a decrease on demand for goods
and for labor. Here we are face to face
with what l consider the most impor-
tant problem connected with the de-
preston. In all the discussion about
gold and silver policy We are overlook
ing the direct effect of expansion and
contraction of purchasing power on
prosperity. Perhaps that is why the
efforts of the administration to promote
recovery are not apparently being di-
rected TO definite and clear increase
Of circulating medium.
1t should be clear that when the Gov
eminent raises money by selling its
bonds to citizens the purchasing power
CT these citizens is decreased by the
whole amount of the price of the bonds.
The Government may spend this money
to stimulate trade and to hire labor.
but those who purchased the bonds can
themselves buy fewer goods and employ
less labor than before. Yet if the bonds
or Short-term notes of Government
are sold to the banks and paid for by
new and additional checking accounts
not previously in circulation. or if they
are sold to the Federal Reserve Banks
ard paid for by new and additional
Federal Reserve notes, there would then
be real addition to Government pur-
chasing power over goods and labor
without any decrease of the purchasing
power of citizens.
Urges Funds From Banks.
This. I believe. is the fundamental,
thing to be emphasized if recovery is to
be rapidly promoted.
The administration should insist, if
the Government is not going to isSye
any new paper money of itself, that dle
funds for its recovery program come
from the banks, and especially from the
Federal Reserve banks. 1 believe it is
of overwhelming importance, in the
present emergency. that this point be
insisted upon above and beyond every
thing else, so that the Governments
borrowing may bring recovery quickly
and before the Government is countless
billions of dollars in debt, with a tre-
mendously heavy annual interest charge
to meet.

with the committee declared, 'the Navy
Department ordered five-day week for
all employees at navy yards and sta

Under this order the employees suffered

to the President of the United States

In accordance with the Presidents

The statement invites the attention
OF the committee to the fact that many
of these employees suffer added loss of
pay on account of not being able to
work during inclement weather, while
awaiting material or awaiting work
from other activities. Furthermore. it
is pointed out that many employees at
navy yards and stations have been fur

procedure would be far safer" than
immediate dollar revaluation.
Backs Roosevelt Plan.
"My own belief is" he added "that
variation in the gold content of the
dollar alone would not give sufficiently
prompt and certain control over the

In line with one of President Roose-
velt's monetary proposals to Congress
yesterday, Vanderlip recommended re-
turn to what he called modern
lied gold standard under which all
the gold would be held by the Federal
Government and available only for the
settlement of international trade bal
ances.
The rediscount rate is the charge by
Federal Reserve Banks for exchanging
its currency for negotiable paper. Open
market operations are the purchase
and sale by the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn of Government securities, theo-
Tetically to control the amount of
money in circulation.

powers, which should extend also to
the new Federal agency.

"The new organization should fur
ther have the powers to buy and sell

President Roosevelt's suggestion to
Congress yesterday that it create a
stabiliZation fund was termed by
Vanderlip as highly admirable. and
just as necessary as erecting anti-air-
craft guns if you expect an aerial in

The similar fund that Great Britain
maintains he saw as menace to any
other country" and one which, under
present circumstances, could be met
only by a similar operation.

EXPERTS EXPLAIN
MANAGED DOLLAR
Morgenthau Statement
Shows Difference From
Commodity Currency.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 16.-Washing-
ton dispatches quoting Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau as saying this is not
a commodity dollar" attracted wide at
tention among economists and none
tary experts here today, and was re-
garded as further clarification of the
administrations monetary policy.
Secretary Morgenthau made it clear
he was thinking in terms of a man
aged" currency, rather than a COM
modify" dollar.
While hard and fast definitions are
lacking. economists explained the dis
tinction as roughly this:
A commodity dollar would be a dol
lar of gold content which would be
automatically varied according to fluctu-
ationS in the commodity price index.
For instance, a decline of a certain
number of points in the commodity
price index would cause an automatic
reduction of. say, one grain of gold in
the dollar. This. in theory, would tend
to rectify the commodity price level
and keep general price levels stable.
A managed currency, on the other
hand is currency governed by many
available expedients. and managed not
only with the problem of keeping a
desirable commodity price level in
mind, but with consideration for many
other factors in the economic struc-
ture. such as the money and security
markets. wages and foreign trade.
The metallic content of a managed
currency may be changed from time
to time as found desirable but the
purchasing power of the currency also
would presumably be controlled by
central bank operations to govern
the volume of currency and credit out
standing, the cost of credit. and the
level of the currency in relation to
other currencies.
England has been managing" her
currency since departure from the gold
standard more than two years ago. She
has so managed it as to prevent rise
in prices, rather than endeavoring to
cause an increase in the price level,
In fact. the British authorities have
placed little stress upon prices in man
aging the pound
Stressed by Sweden.
More stress has been laid upon stabil-
izing the price level by Sweden, in the
management of her currency. in keeping
with the theories of Prof. Gustave
CaSsel, famous Swedish economist and
an early advocate of a commodity cur
rency. Prof. Cassel, however. along with
many other commodity currency advo-
Gates has recognized other factors in
currency management than metallic
content.
