ON LONDON MART
Rises Nearly 3 ShiIIings,
Dollar at 4.931Ia in
Terms of Pound.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON. September 2s.-The
breaking up Of the continental gold
bloc caused mild excitement in finan-
cial quarters today. Repercussions
were featured by a rise of nearly 3
shillings an ounce in the price of gold
in the open market. -.
Bar gold was quoted at 140 shillines,
pence, a rise of shillings liz
pence from the price set Friday.
Dealings in foreign exchange were
limited because Of the necessity Of
working out details of a new align
ment of French and Swiss francs and
guilders, the three former gold bloc
units. Business was suspended in
these monies.
The dollar closed at 4.s3i2 TO the
pound sterling.
Most gold shares and trans Atlantic
issues maintained early gains on the
Stock Exchange, but fears of French
selling tended to depreSs oils and
gilt-edge stocks. British 2l2 per cent

President Roosevelt was inspired by
the Presidents annual message to
Congress, which Knox characterized
as AN undisguised political speech by
the prospective candidate of the Dem
ocratic party"
Specifically" he said in a statement
to the press, candidate Roosevelt de-
manded that his opposition provide an
explicit alternative program If they
were dissa tisf1ed with the fruits of the
New Deal. That Is not difficult. Here
is one:
Il. Immediate and drastic reduction
of Governmental expenses.
2. A sound currency TO be main
tanned at all hazards
IS. Maintenance OF the national
credit by Federal budget annually
balanced.
a. Unemployment and old-age in
sursnce under State laws.
5. Removal of the Government
from all fields of private enterprise.
IS. Opposition to the unsound policy
OF restricting agricultural production.
II. Strict and impartial enforcement
OF the antitrust laws to prevent mo-
nopoly"
At another time, in en- interview,
he said:
The men who wrote the Constitu-
ton recognized from bitter experience
that the threat to popular liberties
comes always from too great concen-
tration OF executive authority ana
they carefully guarded against this
danger in the expressed terms of the

Tieless Joe Stands Like Rock
And Breaks Social Force Tide

OF autocracy which would do man no
good at all.
Whatever it is. it struck Joe even
before it struck the Republicans four
years ago. He was displaced e. ma
Iional committeeman from South
Carolina.
And although the Republicans have
been saying solemnly that they should
stand just as hrmly against this move
menL as did the doughboys against
the German hordeS. this whatever-it- lis
has made them reuest q little out
here. They backed up few trenches,
II might be said, before they decided
TO make a stand This Is cited TO
show the strength OF Joes resistance

Frankly, the great social force has
struck all around the convention as
the lightning plays with the trees
1t uprooted old political pillars and
left them strewn on the ground
Names which have been associated
with republicsnism for years gave
way TO what is called q surge OF new
blood.
But "1ieless Joe"-he comes here
and stands unperturbed in the midst
of the whirlpool Of the social force,
and Isnds back on the national COM
mittee. 1t might even be said that
he was a coupter social movement
which, when IL held its ground against
the other onrushing one, caused it TO
spend itself in lot of harmless spray
Youth movement, auGocrscy, social
force, snti-old guard movement. pre-

msnifesting itself in different forms
as the occasion warranted-whstever
it was, it was dissipsted when it got
TO Joe. II the Republicans win in
November, he'll be appointing post

great social force even reared it's head.
There are those who say it was too
ambitious-thst it sought to take in

embrace Joe. and q movement checked
in this wise is likely to recede.

CLEVELAND, June 12.-The Cleye-
land convention has developed several
aspects new 10 political history, but
none more out OF keeping with the
indications Of the past than last
nights crowning demonstration Of
harmony behind the leadership Of
Lsndon Of Kansas.
A year ego the Republican party
was so badly divided and disorgan-
lied that some Of its most eminent
figures were discussing whether it
should not be abandoned entirely, and
a new coalition movement created in
It's stead
A month sgo the dispute over both
men and measures reached g. ferVor
holding promise OF great bitterness.
A week ago the headquarters Of three
rival candidates were mailing no-sur-
render signs on their doors, and ex-
changing ultimatums.
Today a presidential nominee has
been chosen almost by accIamstion,
and g. platform adopted without a
single no" from any quarter Of the
convention hall.
Differences Still Present.
1t would go far beyond the truth,
Of course, 10 say that factions and
differences of opinion within the
party have disappeared, or that these
divisions would leave no mark on the
coming campaign. But even so, the
fact does remain that the convention
has accomplished what few conVen-
lions ever dot has presented to the
country an organization outWardly
and othcially whole again.
This IS not the ordinary course Of
politics. What happened in last
nights session and the IL hours pre-
cedlng 1t cannot be accepted, under
sny law OF political acJion, as a sud
den and miraculous dawning Of the
light OF harmony. Unquestionably, a
long chain Of circumstances lay be-
hind it all. and many Of the links
were entirely outside the convention
itself
The fact is that the ranking Repub-
lican leaders had come TO an almost
universal agreement long since on two
vital points and had stated them quite
openly On more than one occasion.
First. that the party could scarcely
hope to survive If. in 1886, it suffered
another defeat as crushing as that of
1882. Second, that the crucial year
1875 cOllId he saved nplv - q far
greater degree Of harmony were re-
established in the ranks.
Necessity Respected.
This was the pressure of extremity
which rested upon the delegates and
the rival candidates. This was what
impelled the rivals of Gov. Landon to
acknowledge the inevitable and with
draw before vote had been cast. They
were not merely trying TO be good
( sports, or TO win one election. They
! were trying TO save the party, and at
least two OF them said so in seconding
the Victor's nomination.
Time alone can tell how effective
This rsllying OF the factions will be.
Gov Iandon has come 10 the preSi-
Dental nomination by shorter and
easier route than almost any other
man in a generation. He emergeS
from background largely untouched
ny the old party qusrrels and ieal-
ousies. But for all Of that. ne il sure
10 have his problems.
