Gold Purchases on Borrowed Money

Meantime the following forces are In operation. The president staked his program at first on get- ting prices up to the 1928 level. One plan was devaluation of the dollar. Both have led to trouble.
 Prices have risen steadily. They are not yet at the 1926 level, yet already industry and trade Is ter. rifled and the president Is talking about invoking the anti-trust act to undo much that was done.
 More serious Is tho rising effect Of the devaluation policy. Holding ourselves out to buy gold at S36 an ounce anywhere in the world, about three and a half billion dollars in gold have flowed to our shores. This has produced Q serious increase in excess bank reserves. To check this the government has now resorted to buying gold with funds obtained by borrowing to prevent the gold from getting Into the banks.
 To date-in seven monthS-the government has borrowed 5000 ooo,-

 Looking back we can see very clearly now that since $ 1884 there has been, with the usual cyclical lapses, steady rise in business activity. That rise is still going forward and will doubtless continue to do so for the balance of the year.

Big Boom Prediction Proves DeceptiVe

Six months ago the weight Of opinion in Wall Street was that we were on the eve Of c great boom, That opinion has now changed. The change Is due, perhaps, to some pes- simism because of strikes but basie- ally to Q conviction that imitation Is going to Do checked, that dollar revaluation Is inevitable, that the budget will have to be balanced and that new and highe" taxes are in. evitable.
 Also the rising price level, which in my judgment Is the most unfa. vorable factor, has served to scare of merchants who are already feel ing the effect of buying resistance,

At the same time the policy has upset in- ternational exchange relationships and we are on the brink of some sort of readjustment of exchange. The incident adds to uncertainty aS to the gold content of the dollar.

the talk has served to keep every- one excited and uncertain, while true reform Itself has gained noth- ing.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-07-01
Recovery Hampered By Uncertainty

To make the matter plainer a paragraph of review is neceS- sary. 1n 1883 the whole business system sank down. At that time the course of wisdom seemed to be to devote two years to reform- ing the badly crippled economic system and then the next two years or more to recovery.
 After ail, this is the capitalist profit system under which we arc operating. We must either get rid of 1t or make it work. To make it work 1t must have cer- tain conditions--profits. stability and certain controls. Nothing kills it off like uncertainties. A period of reform B always at- tended with uncertainties. This Is unavoidable. Therefore the wise administrator would survey the field of essential and attain- able reforms, put them through as swiftly as possible and then announce that the time had come to consolidate them, make them work and generally make the Sys- tenn work.
 Unfortunately this was not done. The first two years were taken up largely with an immense reform activity, but more violent in utter. ance than in action. Badly conceiv- cd and administered. 1t begged down at the end of two years. Since that time there has been an i'm. mense amount of talk about reform, changes, experiments. There has been more talk than action. But

they are, for the most part, as already observed, the chickens of the New Deal coming home to roost.
 First 1t is necessary to repeat that the one big driving force has been government borrowing and spending. The thing that makes business quicken is the in- crease in purchasing power. To get an increase in purchasing power there must be e flowing of fresh funds into industry. ordi- narily this comes from private credit-chiefly long-term credit. This means mortgages, bond is- sues, stock issues. and certain forms of bank credit.
 There has been an increase in bank loans during the last year. larger than. in any year since 1929. and there has been some in- crease in bank loans the last six months. But this factor has been only about one-third as large as ths extent of government bor- rowing and spending. Now while this has produced recovery 1t has also produced some other things And 1t is these other things, to gether with certain forces direct- ly connected with government policy which are now beginning to create troublous effects.
