N EW INITIATION
PROGRAM ADDS
TO CREDIT FUNDS.
Currency Released to
Ease Money Market
BY CECIL B. DICKSON

U.NSO. Millions in new cur
rency were poured into the nations
credit stream today under a con-
trolled inflctionary program
launched by the Government.
Approved by President Roose-
welt, the new program was pro-
posed and put into effect by the
Federal Reserve Board with the
aid OF Secretary Of the Treasury
Morgenthau.
PURPOSE OF PLAN
It's purpose is to ease the money
market, make additional millions
available for loans for fall bust
ness, strengthen sagging Govern
ment bond prices and to stop the
post-Labor Day downward spiral
of Wall Street stock prices.
1t is a direct reversal of the
policy Of artificially Tightening
the money market, which was
placed in effect within the last
year when the Federal Reserve
Board raised to the maximum the
reserve requirements of member
banks and the Treasury instituted
the gold sterilization program.
The program is expected to
make it possible for the Treasury
to float additional new money
borrowing securities at reasonable
interest rates, relieve banks of Fed
eral obligations to give them cash
to make commercial loans.
AID TO BUSINESS
In addition, government Of
ficials hope that it will permit
many industrial concerns, which
have postponed offerings of
securities to investors because of
the tight money market, to seek
the new capital.
The program provides:
]. Unrestricted purchase by
Federal Banks of government
securities from member banks
to give them ready cash to lend
to commercial borrowers.
2. Release by Secretary Morg-
enthau of $3O0,O00,000 of the
$3.50, 000, 900 inactive gold fund
to Federal Reserve banks to
give them funds with which to
purchase government securities
from member banks.
WEEKEND PARLEYS
The program was announced by
the board after a series of week
end conferences between reserve
SYSTEMS open market committee,
Secretary Morgenthau and Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Morgenthau fastened to Hyde
Park Friday to inform President
Roosevelt of the situation fol-
lowing the Treasury's recent
abandonment of a plan to refund
100000 in maturing notes in
Ions term bonds because of the
unfavorable money market.

GOOD NEIGHBORS

BY way of the AshevIle Banner we learn that a
history of Canadian American relations, in forty
four volumes, is at present in preparation under
the auspices of the Carnegie Endowment for Inter
national Peace and that eight volumes of the work
are in press and one actually has been published.
From its Washington headquarters the Carnegie
institution has sent out most interesting account
of the undertaking from the pen Of Dr. James l.
Shotwell, director of the foundations Division OF
Economics and History. After brief account OF
the turbulent relations between the United States
and Canada before the two neghbors settled down
to the present peaceful status symbolized by the
undefended frontier, The Banner quotes DR.. Shot
well saying: .,. ..-..
at is doubtful if there is any other frontier any,
where in the world that is so untouched by the
menace of war as that which divides Canada from
the United States. This fact might seem to make
the study of Canadan-American relations super
fuous except as a purely academic interest; but
there is as much learn from success in an inter
national nefghborhood as from failure When a
government owned railway runs freely in the ter
ritory of another sovereign state, it provides an
object lesson sadly needed in Europe and Asia.

THE BEST WAY is TO CUT GOVERNMENT
SPENDING

If you have been reading the papers, you have
noticed that national interest now senters on the
related matters of economy, balanced budget,
national expenditures, etc.
Two weeks ago it had been averted from inter-
national affairs and the money market to the SUI
preme court issue.
That is how sensitive official Washington is to
popular opinion The politicians are quick to catch
the drift of public thinking.
And the big issue before congress now is to cut
public spending to balance the budget, to keep
down taxes
There is only one way to do it and that is by
cutting expenses. 1t is unwise and foolish to think
about adding ne wtaxes. People are getting pan
icky about the tax program They foresee dan
gerous era in our country unless this business of
slappine on more taxes at the whm of public
official is stopped Gastonia Gazette.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE COST OF GOVERNMENT

The statistician who figured out that the federal
government will be spending S27 more than it re-
ceves every second of every day of the fiscal year
1888, if the proposed national budget is adopted,
has done something to help us understand better
what this government of ours is costing US.
For that S27 second is only small part of the
cost. 1t is the debt which will be piled up during
that year, in addition to the greater debt which
has been piled up during the past four years and
is being piled up right now.
The total cost of government in the 1888 fiscal
year will be $245 second, as this statistician fig
ures it. and we will receive, at the best present
estimates, only S21S second.
Yes, that is the way it figures out.
We advise every citizen to take pencil and
figure it for himself.
1t will be good mental exercise, and also it will
help to drive home the fact that our government
is being made to cost good deal more than we
probably have any right to spend for even that
most necessary and commendable enterprise

A SECOND MYSTERY

A six-line dispatch from Washington give the
presidents attitude toward census of the unem-
ployed. He is agin' it. He believes that it would
add little information to that already known.
A few days ago, House committee likewise
pigeonholed bill calling for census of the I'M
employed The committees chairman explained its
disfavor toward census by stating that it would
conflict with the regular decennial census three
years hence.
For long time there has been mystery about
unemployment. In spite of greater employment,
unemployment decreased but little and the need
for relief hardly at all 1t begins to appear now
that there is mystery within mystery. The
Junior mystery is, why is the New Deal so dead
set against taking census of the unemployed? Is
it afraid of what might be Observation-Disclosures

IN time past, during that long

Ion was secretary OF the treasury
the Aluminium Company received
various consents for its practices
from the Department of Justice
And there were no prosecutions
There was an embarrassing mo-
ment more than 10 years ago
when Atty. Gen. Harlan Fiske
Stone. a newcomer here, decided
the Aluminium Company should
be prosecuted. Andrew Mellon
showed enthusiasm over Stones
availability for the Supreme
Court and President Coolidge APP
pointed Stone to a seat on that
bench, where he still functions
vigorously. After attempting to
appoint a lawyer whose connec-
ton with another trust led to pub

coed Stone an old friend from
Vermont. He developed the sit
down technique in official position
to a new high point and RECALLED
