 ident Dropped

Willard W. Collins of i5i Collins street, Hartford, is denied compcn- sation in hls claim against Michael Pupin of Norfolk, under . decision of Commissioner Jamee NJ. Lynch, handed down In the local com. pensation court today.

Radio League Listed
 As "Silver Gamblers
Father Coughin, Senator Borahs Advice Assailed By
 Chicago Professor

Wellesley, Mass, Juno 20.--"The only people that benefit from American silver legislation arc sil. yer gamblers like Father Cough. iin's radio league, some New York banks, and the silver mining induB- try" pr Harry D. Gideonso, pro- lessor of economies at Chicago University, declared in an address in Alumnae Hall here tonight. Speaking before c public evening session of tho third annual New England Institute of International Roiations, on "siiver, Gold and Rc. covery," Dr Oideonse assorted that as q national industry silver is not even as important in terms of tho value of its output as the peanut industry"
 "it is q striking evidence of tho economic iiliteracy of the Amerl. aen people," ho continued, that wo should accept from such peo' pie as Father Coughlin and Sen ator Dornh the advice that this country suffers from hard money and shuoid therefore devaluato US currency, while tho same advisors tell us that China suffers from cheap money and would hnd its troubles cured by hardening t c Dit, that is to say. by lettlng, tho U. S. do something for silver.
 pr Gideonse pointed out that China was prosperous whiIo sllver was cheap and iB now in q state Of depresison because amongst other things American policy Is creating speculative upward movements n the value of its currency. DiscuBs:: Ing tho present gold policy ho said, that while 1t Is crucial In its disas. trous possibilities, tho genuine con: struetive possibilities llo in tho field of bank credit control
 Up to now" he continued, "no significant steps have been taken in this matter and as far as present conditions are concerned, we arc really getting ready for the next old fashioned speculative b0om."
 "This will require q complete re. casting of an antiquated smh II unit banking structure. If we do not get around to it soon, tho thing Will Do out of hand again and q solution will have to await tho next major collapse"
 Many of the 600 or more who at. tended Dr 0ide0nscs' lecture were students attending the institute. Fo-io wing the address, c question period was conducted.
