| price for the metal" The point Is that
he is apparently unable to support
his statement by reference to any Of
fetal British announcement on the
subject.
On October 4. 1888. Chancellor of
the Exchequer, Chamberlain, said:
There is no standard which can
compare in that respect command
| the confidence of the countries using
i'll with gold"- (cheers) -"of which
our country has long experience.
Therefore it seems likely that ulti-
mately we shall return to a gold
standard. 80"
If the Chancellor has changed his
opinion or if he or any other high Of
fetal of the British government has
said anything to the contrary, / am
not aware of it. And it would seem
that Sir Charles Morgan Webb is
under a special obligation to the
American public to point to some re-
cent official British announcement
in support of his contention.
When Sir Charles Morgan-Webb's
book, The Rise and Fall of the Gold
Standard, appeared in 1884. it was
widely distributed in this country by
the self-styled Committee for the Ma
ton, and claims were definitely made
at that time. especially by Mr.. James
H. Rand, Jr., of that Committee, that
Great Britain had abandoned the
gold standard as no longer workable
and had adopted managed currency.
AS check on these statements,
wrote to the distinguished Sir Jo-
siah Stamp in England. and this is
what he said late in 1884: cd The
British Government has certainly
never made any official statement
that we shall never return to a gold
standard, (2) the Government has
never made an official statement that
England is planning to adopt COM
modify standard 1.-THE managed cur
rency scheme of Sir Charles Nor
gan-Webb]. 90 no official steps have
been taken by the Government to-
wards the adoption of a commodity
standard, (D Sir Charles Morgan
Webb's recent study is not considered
an authoritative presentation of Of
fetal opinion of the Government"
If the British government has
changed its attitude since late in 1884,
let the English visitor say so. Let him
prove that Sir Josiah Stamps state
ments are no longer true. Unless he
does these things, the monetary econ
omists of this country must conclude
that an attempt is being made to i'm
pose upon the American people.

the advocates of a managed" cur
rency enormously imply that other
currencieS-for example, metallic
currency-are not managed.
Another is that these advocates
have confused with a permanent pa
per money system the ability of such
countries as England. Sweden. and
others to keep temporary SuSpen-
sion of specie payments from getting
out of hand.
There never has been a permanent
suspension Of specie payments by
any country and there never has
been a willfully adopted paper
money standard which has been sue
cessful for any great length of time
Thus the arguments of these man
aged. currency advocates rest solely
upon conjecture and imagination, and
they run counter to the principles
and lessons of monetary experience.
European countries provide null
titude of examples in recent years
of paper currencieS that could not be
managed. No monetary systems have
ever caused worse suffering than
these. But the managed" currency
advocates rule out all cases in which
the paper currencies could not be
managed. They always have "spe-
cial" explanation for all such cpl
sodes. Obviously, when managed"
currency cannot be managed the
heart of the argument for a IMAM
aged" currency collapses.
A third point should be UNDER
stood. 1t relates especially to the con-
tention now being made in this coun-
try by Sir Charles Morgan Webb to
the effect that Britain will never re-
turn to gold standard with a fixed

A movement to depopulate large
areas of the mid-Western "Dust-BowP' be-

launched by the Resettlement Administra-

plan is to move about 80 per cent of the
people in the arid areas to new farm lands.
A percentage of the destitute could be
placed on Florida land, especially the
keys, to their great advantage for gain,
health and less rugged living conditions
Florida would welcome the influx of hardy

The Citizen received a message
from st. Augustine this afternoon
