New Dealers Worried
About Lira-Expect
Devaluation.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The New Dealers are worried about
the Ira AS they see it, Mussolini has
insufficient funds to conduct his pro-
spective war in Ethiopia, and he is
trying to wiring the money out OF his
currency by devaluation.
The SoundeSt money experts here
are confident that this mope is
only the first step in series. They
expect there tpiH be further de-
Udludtion later.
Incidentally, Mussolini is using his
gold to buy silver in the world market.
He has become our only competitor at
the cash silver counter.
You can rest assured that the United
States silver purchase policy will be
continued on a reasonable" basis for
the present. The best authority on
that subject says purchases will be
continued to sustain the market, and
that the ultimate price goal of $l.29
an ounce will be reached probably
within a year.
Policy Held Cheap Price.
The foremost New Dealers do not
share the enthusiasm of some of the
silver economists. who think that all
money evils can be cured that way.
but they are pledged to the policy and
will follow through with 1t. Of the
record. they admit that politics re-
quired its adoption, but. as they see it,
the expenditure for silver purchases is
small price to pay to prevent
imitation.

parks, monuments, historic sites and
memorials, and the 10000, 900 acres
in national forests constitute vast
potential, though somewhat poorly
distributed, recreational system. in
most CT which recreation is subordi-
nate to other uses" the board said.
An additional proposal in connec-
ton with land policy is determination
Of need for specialized wild-life areas
Of three principal types; Bird refugees,
primitive areas where fauna and
fora may be undisturbed. and upland
game refugees. In connection with
these needs the board points to the
fact that wild-life resources of the Ma
ton provide meat and fur valued at
about $200, ,000,000 per year, while
hunters and tourists, lured by an
abundance OF game, spend about s400,-
900 900.
Second Of the most fundamental of
our natural resources is water; the
rivers. lakes and ocean tides the
watersheds and basins which play so
important a part in determining the
prosperity not only Of their individual
regions. but of the entire country.
In the early days of the Nation the
water courses played an important
role. but one that was confined prin-
cipally to the transportation require
ments of the country River and lake
transportation joined with ocean
facilities in serving as the most essen
.ial link in the trade hfe Of the coun-
try. Then came the railroads and the
Importance of inland waterways as
means of transportation suffered
decline in direct proportion to de-
velopment Of the other carriers.
New Importance for Water.
At the same time, however. new
importance was attached to the water
resources as increasing population, in
tensive agricultural effort and ex-
panding industrial uses brought the
problems Of drinking supply, sewage
disposal, irrigation, food control and
other issues increasingly to the front.
Although it would be virtually i'm
possible to measure in dollars and
cents the potential value of the Ma
tion's water resources. the Water
Planning Committee of the board
makes plain its belief that this value
will increase rather than decrease
during the years to come as ways are
found to develop more productive uses
of water resources along lines Of
power, water supply, navigation. irri-
cation and recreation; to eliminate,
modify or neutralize harmful influ-
ences of water, such as floods and
erosion. and to eliminate, modify or

such as pollution and waste.

sibilities Is in the field Of development
Of hydro-electic power. In this con-
nection its utilization serves two pur-
poses-one the actual production of
the power, which thereby adds to the
Nations material wealth, and the
other the conservation of the ire
placeable commodities, coal, oil and
gas Social and economic factors. Of
course, enter this proposition, but
plans and activities of the Federal
Government in such immense projects
as the Tennessee Valley development
and those of the Grand Coulee and
Boulder Dams make it certain that
| utilization Of water resources for
power production is just getting un-
der way.
Irreplaceable Commodities.
Discussion Of natural resources
usually concerns itself principally
with the mineral group; here are the
irreplaceable commodities. In con-
nection with these the board finds
caution and conservation to be neces-
sary over a longtime policy. Condi-
tions are summed up as follows:
The immediate outlook, as far as
the national resources in minerals are
concerned, is for abundant supplies
available at low prices, lower, In many
cases, than those prevailing in the
'20s. There is no sign that any
serious limiting factor will emerge
among the minerals to prevent the
Nation from attaining a production of
goods and services far above the levels
of even 1929, say. for the next 10
years. The minerals for which we
lack domestic deposits can be i'm
ported from abroad in any volume
needed The immediate problem of
our major domestic industries is not
shortage. but an unmanageable
surplus, much like the surplus in agri-
culture.
The longtime outlook in the field
Of mining, on the other hand, Is for
increasing costs through exhaustion
of the rich and more accessible de-
posits. The situation varies greatly
in different minerals, but, In general
depletion is much further advanced
than Is generally realized. known
supplies of OIL natural gas and GER
tain of the metals (ores Of present
commercial grade) are sufficient for
at most, a few decades. Even in coal
mining the life of certain districts
producing our finest coal is limited to
about IS years at normal rates OF
production. In both metals and fuels
the reserves are sufficiently limited SO
that waste can no longer be tolerated
The longtime problem Of the min
erals is conservation"
In his concluding article tonor-
rotD Mr.. Henry tpiH discuss labor.

COMPROMISE PLAN
ON SECURITY DUE
Senate Works on House
Agreement to Clark
Amendment. 4

Senate conferees on the national
social security bill are trying to work
out compromise proposals on the
Clark private pension amendment, to
be submitted to the House group for
consideration when conferences are
resumed Tuesday.
Another meeting of the conferees
yesterday failed to bring them any
nearer an agreement on this one re-
naming issue in the security program,
on which the two branches Of Con-
gress have taken opposite stands.
If the House group rejects modifica-
tions of the amendment as well as the
original proposal, the issue will have
to be determined finally by bringing
it back to the floor of the House and
Senate.
Although the House conferees are
fortified in their opposition to the
amendment by a recent vote Of the
House, instructing them not to yield,
supporters of the amendment in the
Senate also say they do not believe
they have lost any o. the strength by
which the amendment was placed in
the bill originally in the Senate.
In the event the conferees are un-
able to settle the question, the final
test will come when the conference
report is brought before the Senate
for another vote.
The Clark amendment would allow
-
industries from the pay roll tax on
employees and employers under the
Federal old-age insurance plan. if
they operate private retirement plans
equal to or better than the Govern
ment system. The amendment also
would require the employer to put as
much into the private plan as he
would be called on to contribute in
the Government system.

regard to Americas future

reliance upon the natural resources
of the Nation. To a degree. their
complacency has been justified, but
the haphazard waste which for gen.
erations has characterized our utiliza-
tion of these resources has been turn
ing this attitude into one of increas-
ingly poor judgment.
At the present time however, there
Is in process of development an ef-
fective national policy for conserva-
ton and development of these re-
sources. The fountain head of this
policy is the National Resources Board.
created by executive order Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt about a year ago. Di-
recting its research along three main
lines. those of land, water and mineral
conservation, this board submitted a
report to the President last Winter.
including therein recommendations
which they declared should be instru-
mental in ending "the untold waste Of
our national domain now and will
measurably enrich and enlarge these
national treasures as time goes on"
A consideration, therefore, of the
potentialities contained in our nat
ural resources most conveniently fol-
lows the pattern of the boards report.
Land Surface 1903 200, 900 Acres.
Land surface of the continental
United States totals approximately
1903, 100000 acres. OF this amount,
some $50 100000 acres were harvested
crop lands in 1880. Along with this
harvested acreage went 5000 900 acres
of crop failure and 4l,O00, 900 acres of
idle or fallow land. Making allowance
for an increase in population of about
100000 during the next 25 years
and a return of some of the foreign
markets which formerly absorbed
products of nearly 80.000,000 acres,
the board computes that approximate
ly 386 1000, 900 acres of harvest lands
must be in cultivation in 1860. Ample
sources exist, however, from which
this extra farming area may be taken
1t is suggested by the board. for in
stance, that 100000 acres be taken
from irrigated land; 100000 be
made suitable by drainage. 10000, 200
by clearing the better grade Of land
now in stumps or trees and $4,000, 900
from plowable pasture lands.
Forest land requirements consti-
tute the second main classification
considered by the board; this state
ment being contained in their report
"The total forest area of the United
States is 615,o0o,0o0 acres, of which
about 06,000000 consist of mes
quite, pinon, juniper and other arid
woodland species. OF the remaining
500 900, 900 acres, only 95,000.000 are
held for commercial purposes, includ-
ing farm woodlots. A consideration
of requirements for all major uses
indicates that We may continue to
employ this much land for forests and
the various associated uses"
More Recreation Area Urged.
Recreational lands also are con-
sidered at length, the substance Of the
findings being that State and county
park systems be increased from $780,
900 acres to as much as 100000.

SHIFT OF WILSON
TO BOARD IS HIT
Parole System Declared
Menaced by Grades"
Change Defended.

Removal. of Mrs ANN N. Stannard
to make way for T. Webber Wilson
as a member Of the Federal Parole
Board has precipitated controversy
that was gathering momentum today.
After Attorney General Cummings
had defended the change in response
to questions propounded at a press
conference yesterday, Senator Vanden-
berg, Republican, of Michigan, de-
clared the appointment of Wilson, who
was removed from his Virgin Islands
judgeship by order of President Roose-
welt, was apparently a straight
political trade"
Anything which indicates a willing
ness to prostitute the parole system to
politics is a very unwelcome develop
ment," Vandenberg said.
Two Women Eligible.
Attorney General Cummings de-
Tended the move, indicating his belief
that the Parole Board post was not
suitable for woman. He quoted
statistics to justify DR.. Stannard' s
withdrawal. He said only 4.3 per cent
Of the prisoners eligible for parole are
women. and that personal interviews
with thousands of men must be
divided equally among the three board
members. He said request for DR.
Stannard's resignation had been under
consideration for year.
The Michigan Senator viewed the
change as "a dangerous infringement
on the principle on which the board
is organized"
He said he was not familiar with
Judge wilson's qualifications, but il
he was not good enough for the Virgin
Islands, don't know by what reason
ing he is qualified for the Federal
Parole Board. Apparently, he is there
as a result of a straight political
trade"
Held Reverse of Omen" Record.
This sort of thing" he declared, lis
the direct antithesis of the record the
Omen are making at the other end
of the line"
Vandenberg recalled that he had
served on the special Senate Commit
tee on Crime and said:
I'VE found in that investigation that
the parole problem and the pardon
problem we're the back door and the
side door to the whole crime prob
lem Any relationship between paroles
and pardons, on the one hand, and
politics on the other is bad govern
ment and strikes at the root of law
and order"
