CHANGES URGED
IN BRITISH AIM
TOWARD PRICES
Sir Walter Layton Calls for
Occasional ReviSionS in
Gold CurrenCieS.

An improvement over the pres
ent operation of the British equal
ization fund and over the Warren
commodity dollar idea for STABILIZE
ing prices is proposed in a new and
revised edition of Sir Walter Lay
tons Well-known Study of Prices,
in which Godfrey Crowther has
elaborated. The book is pub
lished by Macmillan e. Co, Ltd. of
London.
Another possible and more i'm
portant varient OF the same ideH.
asserts Sir Walter, in comment ;
upon the operation of the British
fund, which would not involve the
same disadvantages of secrecy and
arbitrary control, would be to vary
the gold parity of the currency
from time to time according to
changes in the ratio between the
domestic price level and the world
price level.
In Passive Role
But, in the intervals between
each variation, each currency would
be operated as if it were on the
gold standard, with free inter-con-
vertibility of gold and currency,
This proposal should be dis
tinguished from the compensated
dollar plan. 1t proposes that the
alteration in the gold parity should
take place, not in order to bring
about a desired change in prices
but in order to adjust the exchange
value of the currency to price
changes that already have taken
place; it would play. not a causa-
tive, but a purely passive role.
The case for such a plan rests
on the assumption that comparative
equilibrium will not quickly be re-
stored in the worlds affairs anC
that countries will not take the risk
of exposing themselves to the re-
suits of violent changes without a
more flexible means of defense than
the constant adjustment of then
internal price and wages structure
with all the social disturbance that
this entails.
Tariffs, Quotas Clumsy
Tariffs and quotas are a clumsy
way of meeting a radical change in
another country's currency and al
best can only bring about equilibri.
UNI in the trade balance by reducing
it,"
Sir Walter, however, does not
hesitate to point out the difficulties
of such a system, political pressures
and expediency being not the least
he mentions.
The style of the book is flowing
and easy to follow. The wisdom is
ripened considerably from the time
when part of the book was pub
lished first in 1912. The entire book
has been revised and three chapters
added. The book remains, even in
view of the extent to which the
world has changed in % years, ar

HOUSE FAvORS
APPROPR|AT|NG
AAA TAXES
Adopts Amendment Sending
Money to Treasury Sub
ject to Specific Order
International News Service


An AAA amendment designed
to remove a possible Constitutional
objection to processing taxes was
adopted by the House Agriculture
Committee today.
It provides that all taxes shall
go into the Treasury, and a Spe'
cific appropriation of the entire
amount is made to be used by
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration.
Processing taxes have been as
sailed on the ground that under
the present law Congress has sur.
rendered its tax power to Secre.
tary of Agriculture Wallace.
The committee considered other
provisions of the Administrators
extensive revision of the AAA act
to insure it's conStitutionality,
without action.
The AAA has put it Squarely up
to Congress today to continue or
end it's production control, rental
and benefit payment program.
Processing taxes, chief basis Of
the income for paying farmer pro
ducerS of cotton, wheat, corn,
hogs, sugar, tobacco and peanuts,
imposed since May, 1888, by the
Secretary of Agriculture, will be
imposed by Congress if the re.
vised AAA amendments are
adopted.
Instead of licenses as provided
heretofore in the AAA program
for regulation of these commodi.
ties, and of milk and dairy prod.
ucts, fruits and vegetables, the
Secretary would issue "orderS"
covering rules and regulations.
Selves Specific Powers"
Administrator Chester C. Davis
said the new amendments give de.
tailed procedure land specific
powers" for administration of the
act. He admitted:
"The license powers of the
present act were too general,
too broad. The amendments give
specific powers. 1t is Congress
that will fix the tax rate of
SIPS 100 pounds on hogs and
AZ cents a pound on tobacco,
and there is no question of the
power Of Congress to fix taxes"

FLOOD DAMAGE
100000 IN
TWO STATES
Large Areas of Farming
Land Are Inundated in
Kansas and Missouri

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 6
G.NSO.-The expected flood crisis
which has given Kansas City a
severe case of nerves for three
days, appeared waning today, the
Weather Bureau announced.
With the Kaw River raging out
of its banks in Kansas, spreading
damage estimated close to five mil
lion dollars, and with the Missouri
River already a foot above flood
stage here, Kansas City had made
elaborate preparations to meet the
danger expected when the flood
waters of the Kaw hit the Mis-
souri,.
Breaking of bikes north and
south of Lawrence last night,
coupled with the natural diSsipa-
ton of the flood waters due to
lack Of rain, have lowered the
crest Of the Kaw until it is ex-
pected to be comparatively tame
when it reaches here today.
However, the Kaw has wrecked
the fertile Kansas farming valley
through which it flows between
here and Junction City, Kan.
While no loss of life has been re-
ported, it has made thousands
homeless at Junction City, Wa
mego, Manhattan, North Topeka,
Lawrence and other Kansas points
and inflicted heavy damage to
property, crops, railroads and
utilities in Kansas and Missouri.

Williams Impressed
Mr.. Williams added:

with the preparations being
made for the convention next
week. POtentate Robert p.
Smith and his associates who
have put over this smashing
convention are entitled to the
highest cOmmendatiOn."
The election in which Mr..
Steuart is slated to succeed as
imperial potentate will be held
Wednesday. The new imperial
officers will be installed Thurs
day.
At Almas Temple, where prepa-
rations are moving swiftly on the
eve of the convention, it was said
that the housing committee has
accommodations ready for 10000
visitors, even after the hotels may
be filled and the others who have
reservations taken care Of. The
influx of requests for housing of
visitors has created a necessity
for more space for the two score
clerical helpers assigning Shrine
visitors to rooms in private homes
in the city, and the entire ball
room of Almas Temple has been
taken over by the group.
Through efforts of the housing
committee, $4,000 Washingtonians
have consented to open rooms in
private homes to the visitors
during the week and 10000 emer.
gency beds have been located to
be set up in schools and elsewhere
for late corners, should they be
needed.
Tickets On Sale
At the same time Potentate
Smith today announced that
tickets for the parades have been
placed on sale in all department
stores, the Potomac Electric Power
Company, all Peoples Drug
Stores, the Gridiron room of the
Willard Hotel and elsewhere, in
addition to the original seat sale
booth at Almas Temple, 1915 K

Registration for all Shriners not
members of the Imperial Council
will open Sunday at the Raleigh
Hotel, and the registration for
members of the Imperial Council
will start Monday at the Willard
Hotel. Members of the council
include delegates from each
temple and imperial officers.
A miniature train of Is cars, all
loaded with children, will repre-
sent the Shrine hospitals for Grip

convention. Atop each kiddie-
laden car will be replica of the
hospital which it represents, and
the entire train will be drawn by
a tiny locomotive.
Although Almas Temple has no
hospital here, it's job has been
to round up the 80 children who
will ride in the carS-and to keep
them happy during the long
parade.
