Louisiana Town Seen by
De Soto Yields Still
Earlier Culture.

BY TIE Associated Press.
Scientists who uncovered q forgot
ten Indian city near Jonesville, Las
are trying to find family tie between
its prehistoric citizens and the Folsom
man, Americas oldest known In
habitant.
How long the mounds of Jones'
vile were site for human quarters
the scientists cannot say, but the
city was probably one Of the largest
settlements west of the Mississippi
River when Columbus discovered
America.
When Hernandez De Soto, the
Spanish explorer, came upon the an
cient "city" in 1542 it was at the
height of its prosperity, according to
Winslow M. Walker, who began exca-
waiting at Jonesville as a member of
the Smithsonian staff in 1882.
Under the city that De Soto saw,
Walker found the remains of other
older settlements reverting into un-
known antiquity, the Smithsonian
announced today.

Walkers report on his research in

found in the Scioto Valley in Ohio.
In 1912, when De Soto approached
the Louisiana settlement, called the
Capital Of Ancilco," the inhabitants
met him In front Of the dwelling Of
the "Cacique" on an eminence COM

PREDICTS RETURN
OF GOLD STANDARD
Federal Reserve Expert
Says Adjustments Neces-
sary Before Readoption.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The eventual re-establishment Of an
international gold standard was pre-
dicted yesterday by E. A. Goldenweiser,
research director of the Federal Re-
serve System, but not until many dif-
ficulties have been adjusted.
At the same time, James Harvey
Rogers, professor Of economics at Yale
and New Deal adviser, asserted that
the dollar, on gold SO far as foreign
trade is concerned. must be subject to
considerable control in coming
months.
Both expressed their views in ad-
dresses before the Academy of World
Economics, meeting In the council hall
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States.
Analyses Failure Of Theories.
Goldenweiser first defined the gold
standard as "a common world cur
rency of which different national units
| are denominations" adding that theo-
retically, under its operation, commod-
ity prices should be the same through
out the world and thus prevent depres-
sions in any one country.
He added, however, that in practice,
"the gold standard has never accom-
plished these purposes" In explana-
ton, he said that transportation costs,
commodities that cannot be exported,
differences in consuming habits among
the nations and barriers to world trade
| have furnished differentials which
have served to upset the theoretical
| operation Of the gold standard.
There is nothing in the gold stand
ard as SUCH" he said, that can bring
about international equilibrium. 1t
is a system that can bring about in
ternational equilibrium. 1t is sys-
tenn that can function only when in
ternational equilibrium exists"
Sees Return Gin Some Form"
Looking into the future, he said:
cit is probable that some form of gold
standard will be re-established," add
ing:
This will not be possible. however,
until such time as the fundamental
trade positions of the adhering coun-
tries have been rectif1ed. Gold can
balance exchange payments only when
they are approximately even and need
only slight temporary adjustment
There is not enough gold in the world
and never can be, to enable any coun-
try continuously to pay out more to
foreigners for goods and debt service
than it receives from abroad.
Monetary realism must face the
fact that restoration Of international
trade and international solvency OF
