F. D. R. FOLLOWS PRECEDENT
 In the case of MT. Roosevelt, the reversal of form is especially mo- table because he is following Presi- dential precedent.
 On many past occasions he has prided himself on his disregard of tradition, particularly the tradi- tion of Presidential aloofness. Po- ltically, he has looked upon him. self as realist, unfettered by the forms and pretenses which have surrounded so many of his predeces- sors.
 Now he follows the course of GUS tom by speaking almost as though he were unaware that a Presiden- tial campaign was in progress.
 It is true he has embellished the precedent somewhat, adding a fin esse which many other Presidents have lacked. He has accomplished an oblique approach to political subjects, stipulating that he is not speaking or acting from political

Weeks Neius irl Reuie,U
 by Richard H. Hippelheuser

NEW YORK, (as of week ending September 26), by Associated Press. France, following the leadership of Great Britain and the United States, abandoned the pre-depres- sion gold basis of it's currency The way was opened for worldwide stabilization of currencies
 Preparing for the necessity of devaluatlon, the Blum government of France has been in negotiations with London and Washington for weeks. Britain and the United States as result, agreed to use their currency stabilization funds to support and equalize the franc after devaluation.
 After a week of financial specu- lation, filled with rumors, the Blum government on Friday night sum- moned a special session of Parlia- ment for Monday. The Chamber of Deputies and Senate will be ask ed to devalue the franc, reducing it's gold content from 63 milligrams to between 43 and 49 milligrams.
 Tn readjusting the gold content of its currency, France has left the European gold bloc. Its leadership of the bloc, it's hesitation to leave it's pre-degression gold standard, was one of the principal factors in the collapse of the 1893 World Econ omic Conference in London
 In financial circles, in the United States and in London and Paris, the readjustment was regarded as an important stimulant to a revival of world trade.
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau said the British French-American agreement to equ- alize the franc with the pound ster- ling and the dollar had been an ob- jective of the Roosevelt Adminis- tration for more than three years.

A. A. BUM SPEAKS
ON AMENDMENTS
Attorney Urges One For
More Judges in Address
To Kiwanis Club

A talk on the five proposed amend
ments to the State Constitution, which
are to be voted on at the general
election next month, was given to the
Henderson Kiwanis club at it's regu-
lar weekly luncheon meeting FRIDAY
night. Mr.. Bum mentioned all of
the amendments, but conferred especi-
ally on the one for the increase of
the State Supreme Court from five
members at present to total OF
seven.
Mr.. Bum said that, notwithstand-
ing the tremendous increase in the
population of the State from 1,1OOO 900
in 1890 to the present total in excess
of 100000, the State still has only
the five members of the Supreme
Court provided for in the Constitu-
ton adopted in 1868, which is still the
organic law of North Carolina, with
the addition of several amendments
approved by the electorate from time
to time. He also pointed out other
progress that had been made includ-
ing the increase of railroad mileage
from $500 to 5000 in the period, and
the some $4,000 miles of the State
highway system. He also showed how
many other states, some smaller than
North Carolina, had larger Supreme
Court than North Carolina has.
The program was in charge of
Jasper B. Hicks.
The membership was reminded of
the annual election would take place
at the next meeting of the club a
week hence, and that ballots would
be prepared during the week, the
nominations already being in the
hands of the election committee.
Arthur Lynn, club member, put on
freak election, having J. B. Gee
nominate Jasper Hicks for president
whereupon Mr.. Hicks accepted the
nomination and took charge. E. O.
Falkner presented a petition signed
by practically every member of the
club elevating him to the office of
secretary and treasurer. j. w. Sand
ers arose and protested the election
and stated that he had been in the
club nearly as long as S. J. Lane
and that he was entitled to the Of
flee of the president, and after MAX
ing numerous promises to various
members conceded the floor to J. C.
Gardner, the president, ending the
freakish entertainment
One new member, w. B. Cooling,
was received into the club member
ship, and he was welcomed by DR.. r.

presented by C. E. Greene, secretary
OF the club, who also instructed the

ance was reported at 80 per cent of
the membership.
