EXPERT TELLS HOW
INITIATION STARTS
Excess Reserves, Expansion
of Deposits and Dollar
Devaluation Aid
By LESLIE EISCIIEL

New York, Feb. 17-Who starts in
flation? Is it the government?
Probably, by expanding credit with
it's huge borrowings.
Read this summary by the Alexan-
der Hamilton Institute, of New York:
Economic and financial conditions
in the United States at the present
time are very much influenced by the
fear of initiation. This fear arises
from several circumstances which
may be briefly summarized as fol-
lows: Cd the huge excess reserve
balances Of the member banks with
the Federal Reserve banks; GU the
steady expansion of deposits in the
commercial banks; CD the possibility
Of further dcvaluation of the dollar.
~The surplus balances of the mem
Der banks with the reserve banks
have been created chiefly by the huge
influx of gold from abroad following
the devaluatiOn of the dollar. Since

HOLD GOVERNMENT
OWNS POWER SOLD
Nothing In Constitution To
Prevent Its Selling of Sur

Looping Any Navigable
River and Providing for the

Washington, Feb, II (AP)-
In a decision which did not
reach the cOnstitutionality Of
the IVA as a whole, the Sup
RENE Court today upheld the
right of the government to disz
pose of surplus power from
dams constructed for purposes
of navigation control, or as a
national defense measure.
In an eight-to-one decision, read by
Chief Justice Hughes, and with Nc
Reynolds dissenting, the court held
the construction of WILSON, dam at
Muscle Shoals was constitutional, and
that the government purchase of
transmission lines from the Alab3ma
Power Company to distribute the en-
ergy was also valid.
Minority for Dismissal.
A minority contended that the
court should have dismissed the case,
After ruling that the construction
of the Wilson dam was an act of ma
tional defense, and for the improve
ment of navigation, was legal, the
court held that there was no consti-
tutional prohibition against the man
ner in which the Tennessee Valley
Authority was disposing of the cur
rent generated there. Surplus power
is power produced in excess of gov
ment needs.
In an opinion by Justice Brandies,
joined by Cardozo, Roberts and Stone,
it was contended that the suit should
have been dismissed because Of lack
of jurisdiction.
Thereupon, Justice McReynolds
