For that is what it will be, a
fortress to guard the greatest hoard
of yellow gold ever gathered by
the hand of man. The bulk OF
nine billion dollars in bullion and
coin. Almost three-fourths Of all
the gold in the world. The treas
ure that secures our paper money;
the rock foundation of our ma
tional credit.
Only France possesses a treas
ure stronghold to compare with

DESPITE THEORIES
When the money of a country
is based on gold, the people OF
that country have faith in their
paper money. When the gold
basis is kicked from under paper
money, the people of any country
lose confidence in the paper.
All the subtle theories and ar
guments in the world cannot alter
that fundamental fact. Mankind
has been in the grip of the god
of gold through the rolling ages,
and today he bends the suppliant
knees even more lowly than ever
he bent in the days Of the Phar-
aohS of the Persian kings or OF
Solomon the Great.
1t was gold that lured the imag-
ination of the GenoeSe sailor, Co
lumbus, and all the Spanish ad-
venturerS and conquiStadoreS that
followed in the wake of his little
ships.
Europe's gold, when Columbus
first sailed westward, amounted
to much less than some present
day family fortune, such as the
great gold hoard of the richest
man in the world, the Nizam of
Hyderabad, in India.
From the days of Imperial
Rome to the time of Columbus
the craze for gold forced nations
to war and pillage. Cortez and
Pizarro robbed in the New World

robbed in the Old. Throughout

get over it. You're just one out
of millions, partner. There's moth
ing unique about your trouble and
there's nothing obscure about its
cause or cure.
Sensitiveness is not a sign of
great or a rare mind. 1t is the
sign of a very tight. immature
mind-a baby mind, mind that
never opened to the significance
of the life about it.
Why are you sensitive? You're
sensitive because mentally you're
all out of focus. You center every
thing on yourself. You do not
see other lives, other problems.
You think you do. You discuss
other people. You may even fuss
a great deal over people. But
always you are thinking Of your
self-and of how various acts
affect yourself.
And so you really never see
other lives, and therefore you
can establish no scale of COM
parison-no relative value. And
everything, no m a tier how
trifling, gets you on the raw.

The rush of the Forty-niners
to the rich placers and the
mother lode of the Golden State
started the western migration
which led to the building Of the
tranScontinental railroads, the
advance of the Iron Horse across
plains and mountains which
linked the West to the young
United States.
Since 1892, the year Columbus
discovered America, the total
amount of gold produced in the
whole world has been % billions
and a half.
But today, in gold money and
gold bullion, there are only IL
billions of this vast amount ac-
counted for. Where is the rest,
the vanished 10 billions? Much
of it has gone into industry
Millions of it have gone into gold
jewelry. Fortunes in gold leaf
have been laid on the crosses and
domes of churches, cathedraiS
and mosques.
In the Temple of Solomon gold
was used with prodigious profu-
sion. The lamps, tongs and
hinges were pure gold. It's very
walls were overlaid with gold.
Solomons throne was. of solid
gold. And when the Queen of
Sheba went to visit him, she took
with her tons Of gold, carried on
the backs of elephants.
Somewhere in South Africa,
most probably in Rhodesia, are
the very mines of incalculable
richness from which King Solo,
mon derived his ineXhauStible
gold supply.
Elephant hunters in Rhodesia
have brought back to civilization
extraordinary tales told by ma
tives in the deep interior. The
tale is of a great mine. now swal-
lowed by the jungle, which was
worked by the slaves of Solomon
more than 5000 years ago.
CHANGES BUT ENDURES
Seligman, a German explorer,
came out of the jungle years ago
with story of a witch doctor who
had made his way through a cave
in a mountain side, to great
chamber. From the flagstones of
vast room stone steps arose. The
witch doctor climbed the steps and
entered another great room which
was stacked high with stone
chests. And every chest was filled
with gold bars and nuggets Of
raw, yellow gold!
Even more recently, a group Of
railroad line surveyors in North
ern RhodeSia came back with a
story, almost similar, of a lost
mine known to the Zulu witch
doctors only, a mine guarded by
huge stone figures carved in the
likeness of oldtime Jewish war
riorS. And traders in RhodeSia
have been amazed from time to
time by finding in the hands of
natives small gold bars stamped
with ancient Hebraic characters.
Gold is restless and everlast-
ingly seeks a change. It changes
its form and place, and yet en-
dures.

Bonus Day

The Nation today at last makes up in a small degree
for the financial sacrifices made by those who years
gave up their jobs and their incomes that they might
fight for their country.
To only small extent IUiU the bonds lUItich are
being distributed adjust the difference betWeen
IUhGt those men could hare earned had they stayed
home and the pittance Uhich they did receive iLe
hazarding their HUeS
But it has been long and hard struggle to win
this small adjustment for the veterans.
Since year two after the troops came back from
France the effort to adjust their compensation
a minimum basis has been going on.
The veterans have had support from many and The
Washington Times is glad that it and the other Hearst
newspapers have been able to cooperate with those sup
porers and to play part in obtaining this of
justice for those who offered to make the supreme
rifice for their country.
With the delivery of the bonds today and for the next
few days. many Of the veterans planning to convert
them Immediately into cash.
For of the veterans this is urgently necessary
and nothing should be permitted to delay their obtaining
the money they have earned
BUT THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN IMMEDIATE
NEED OF THE CASH SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO
HANG ONTO THE BONDS.
Even in modern America it is still wise thing to keep
nest egg and the bonus payments will enable many of
our citizens to establish little financial backlog

After that comes the question of
how to make him happy and how
to make his understand what it's

fused over.
Several suggestions for cele-
brating this DAY Of Days for
Dad" have been tentatively Of
fered and are herewith given.
First, just for that one Day,
the family might unselfishly let
Father use the CAR. For some
fathers with large and very mod
ern families. this would be the
thrill of a lifetime. Just to see
the old bus, on holiday!
Another way to celebrate might
be for mother and the girls to
send him, each, a corsage of her
favorite flowers. Junior could kick
in With half dozen neckties (to
be borrowed" back later). And
since the great day falls on June
81, it would be just in time for
father to get all the bills on
July /.
OF course, there would be
Fathers Day parade, with floats
and bands. And cynic has sug-
gested that the leading float might
feature a symbolic figure of the
Great American Father, posed in
the attitude of the Statue of Lib
erty-holding aloft a sheaf of un-
paid bills, and wearing his pockets
turned inside out.
That would be a Big Treat-for
Father!
