In Dollar Revaluation

half as much. The other half Is
the Governments profit"
4. This half Cor possibly 40 per
cent is to be used in large part by
the Government for manipulating
the dollar, and for supporting the
market for its own securities.
The amount of the Govern
ment's profit" would be some
thing like three billion dollars. OF
this, two billions are to be used
for purchases and sales Of gold,
foreign exchange and Govern
ment securities"
Treasury to Trade
The United States Treasury is to
be empowered to do this trading.
Thus the gold reserves are
taken by the Government, to,
gether with the power to trade in
gold, foreign exchange and Gov
ernment securities. This greatly
reduces the functions of the re-
serve banks and increases the
banking functions of the United
States Treasury.
Evidently the President is much
concerned about the maintenance
Of the credit Of the Government"
Whether the use Of the Govern
ment's capital for operations in
the Government bond market will
in the long run improve Govern
ment credit, remains to be seen.
International Needs
5. A worldwide agreement IN a
uniform monetary policy is Sug-
geSted, and a possible redistribu-
ton Of the worlds gold stock.
This implies a growing apprecia-
ton Of the need Of international
stabilization and an ultimate re-
turn to a gold standard.
The purpose Of these proposals
require careful consideration.
They are as follows:
l. To restore "a fairer price
level"
2. To arrive at "a less variable
purchasing power for the dollar, 4"
or to give it "a fairly constant
standard of purchasing power"
3. To make the dollar "serve
the needs of our people" (not
"businesSO.
4. To maintain" the credit of
the Government.
Price Levels Higher
Note that price levels are to be
made "fairer" - which means
higher. Note that the President
says constant standard of pur-
chasing power" not just "con-
slant purchasing power" Note
that he says "such weight and
.fineness as may be established
from time to time"
ALI this implies a managed
currency" with available stand
ard dollar. This is the so-called
commodity dollar"
And throughout, silver is re-
ferred to as if as good as gold "as
basis for currency"
The Washington times., 1934-01-17

level"
This clearly means further in
flation.
2. The President suggests what
he calls "a more certain deter
limitation of the gold value of the
American dollar"
BY this he means reducing the
gold content of gold dollar to
not more than 1898 grains Of
pure gold, which is 60 per cent Of
the gold in the old dollar (23 %
grains). He also proposes q mini
mum gold content as low as SO
per cent, or 11.61 grains Of gold.
We should note that this does
not fix or determine the value Of
the American dollar" TIL Q
American dollar is paper dollar.
We are not on the gold standard.
The value" of a dollar Is what it
will buy, and that depends upon
commodity prices.
Little Light Thrown
What the President proposes
merely lowers the gold content or
a theoretical gold dollar by some
quantity.lying between 40 per cent
and so per cent. This throws
very little light on what the
American paper dollar will be
worth-that is, what it will buy.
3. The President proposes that
the Government shall take all
their gold away from the Reserve
banks, and give them back gold
certificates" worth somewhere be-
tween half and go per cent as
much as the gold is worth.
These gold certificates, as he
says, will be secured dollar for
dollar by gold. But by reducing
the gold content of the dollar,
the security for each certificate is
correspondingly reduced.
He says, "give me your gold,
and I will give you paper worth

Quires the winner to trot at least
three miles. And it's not unusual,
what with the innumerable practice
starts, for Hambletonian winner to
do four, five or even six miles in an
afternoon.
Last year up at Goshen, Mary
Reynolds stepped around the dusty
track four times before they dropped
the floral life preserver around her
neck and handed her owner, the
tobaccoish Mr. Reynolds, the silver
plate And the year before that the
Marchioness, another precocious lass,
did around four miles before win
ming. All of which would indicate
that the boys who say the f1llies
aren't geared for distance, don't
know what they're talking about.
Furthermore, or moreover, if you
like that word better, the Han1ble-
tonian ladies have to pull q buggy
behind them And the buggy is no
baby carriage, either, and it con-
tainS an adult gentleman who
usually weighs in the neighborhood
of eleven or twelve stone.
Yet, despite the long haul and
the excess baggage, the FLIES, as I
said, have won four Of the eight
Hambletonians. They missed out
in 1926, the inaugural race, but
Isola's Worthy started them off in
1927. The boys took it the next
two years, with Hanover's Bertha
winning in 1880. Calumet Butler
came home in front in 81, but the
Marchioness and Mary Reynolds
were invincible the last two years.
The girls are likely to make it
three in a row, for the winter books
have Bertha G. Hanover as the
favorite. She is quoted at 3 to l
and is given a shade over Lord Jim,
the next in line. Among the other
FLIES who are conceded a good
chance are Name McElwyn and
Fay Mack. Fay Mack is known as
the "old gray mare" in that she
is practically the only gray trotter
or PAGER on the Grand Circuit. 1t
will be a big break for the sports
writer's if Fay wins for what could
be sWeeter than a lead about the
odd gray mare, she amt what she
used to be-She'S better"
