power money that it regulate the level prices
Father Coughn and other inatonSts do shred
warrant for their schemes from the Constitution.
1t is an utter impossbty to regulate the value of anything
1t just impossible for Congress determine how much
goods of all kinds dollar will buy it is to fix the prices
of all goods
All Congress do to change the weight of coins jug
gle the price the Treasury will pay for gold and silver.
Neither OF these things gives power to control money value
purchasing power proved by the failure of both
valuation and gold and silver buying policies.
"Currency'' is different from "money" 1t is broader
term and includes bank checks greenback fiat
The value of money depends upon the value of material
which everybody knows and freely accepts such gold
But the value of other kinds depends upon the
value of money and the credit standing of the who is
the currency.
The value of check depends upon value money
that calls for and upon the credit of the who writes
it. Just the value of Government depends upon
the value of the dollars which they promise to pay and
the credit of the Government.
At present Government will not paw real money in
exchange for its They convertible any
standard Also the credit of our Government is badly
strained because is spending and borrowing much The
hope that maybe will day quit spending and make
its notes payable in gold the only thing that holds the
value of its notes The fact that it will let
gold money helps it to get away with its scheme)
Bonds not money, they currency. They do
not circulate from hand hand in exchange for goods In
fact they payable demand currency
Bonds sold to investors who buy them because they
pay interest Of they did not pay interest investors would
not take them Thus they away and held for long
periods
Of therefore, bonds do not affect prices like cur.
does Bond issues in themselves nflaonary
The only danger bonds is that the Government may issue
that its bond debt will become big that can't
pay off. This is the danger now.
That it is real danger proved by the fact that people
like Father Coughin already proposing that the Govern
substitute for bonds This proposal means prac
tcal reputation
If the Government were to issue the billions of dollars in
notes greenbacks that would equal the face value of its bonds
the notes would fall sharply in value and the would
therefore fall sharply, too You will be held
by investors because they interest They good
except to circulate and since they backed by
able money or by sound Government credit they would quickly
deprecate)
Such move would IMMEDIATELY start wild initiation.
and break the Government bond market wide open.

You all know what coin is. Well then,
to coin money is to take chunk of metal
and stamp it or otherwise fashion it into
the shape of a coin.
The fact that the Constitution used this word
shows that it means that our money is sup
posed to be based on metallic standard,
and that paper currency is to be convertible
into metal.
The language of the Constitution also shows
what is meant by regulate the value there

Of detail that Is expected to be Of
value to science. The longest expos
ure, for instance, reveals the myste-
rious corona of the sun, with some
Of the rays extending more than one
and three-quarter times the diameter
Of the sun, or distances equivalent to
more than . million miles.
Another feature of DIR. Gardner's
films are the sharply defined hydro
gen prominences, which show as
ragged hicks around the suns disk,
because Of their extreme brightness.
Prints will be made for publication
In the National Geographic Maga-
zine, after which the plates will be
turned over to astronomers, who will
make photometric studies of them to
determine the brightness Of the corona
at various distances from the sun.
DR.. Gardner expressed appreciation
for the hearty cooperation which he
and his American companions re-
ceived from Russian scientists and
the Soviet government. After the
eclipse DR.. and Mrs. Gardner, with
other American scientists, travelled
extensively in the Soviet Union, max

on the Black Sea and visiting, among
other cities, Stalingrad. Rostov-on-

The speeches will be given at q din

tions for anti-war legislation.

classificationS. At five separate meet

the United States out of war. Their
conclusions were to be discussed at q

will be deferred until tomorrow. the

Six speakers yesterday suggested

the proposals. One group talked over
the statement by Stephen Rausenbush,
chief investigator for the Nye Num-

profits out of war" by taxation of war
industries and naturalization of mu-
nitions factories was not, Of itself, suf-
ficient to forestall war. Raushenbush
said naturalization of munitions
works was important, however.
Another group took up the argu-
ments of Prof. Henry r. Grady, former
chief of the State Departments trade
agreements section, in support Of Sec
retary Hulls reciprocal trade pacts.
Each of these agreements, said Grady,
is a treaty Of commercial peace and
helps throttle war sentiment and the
