 These alleged instructions pregurn. ably originated, in the police belief, at Moscow. They were but c part of activities charged against the mon arrested. One accusation was that the left wing leaders spread "anti.wRr thought" intended to change the structure of the state and lead to q mass movement for revolution, with a view to oStab- lishment of communism.

Naugatuck, Dec. Postmaster Frank T. Green has made arrange ments to have every piece of mali delivered here before Christmas day if 1t Is at all possible. Deliveries of all mail in the postoffice will be made Christmas eve and on Christmas day substitutes will de. liver any mail coming on the inorn- ing train. The regular mall staff will not work on Christmas day.
 Indications continue that this will be Q record-breaking Christmas mall. Although 100000 one-and -one- half-cent stamps were all that were used year ago, Monday Q supply of 150,000 had been exhausted and last night B0,000 more were gone. An. other b$,0o0 was brought there this morning.
 Package mali Is about equal to that of last year, the postmaster said. The stamp windows of the local postofilce will be open each night until 0 o'clock or later if buSI- ness requires 1t, and will not be closed If people are waiting to buy stamps, the ofilcial stated.
 There is not enough room in the working part of the building to take care of the tremendous volume of mall 50 Christmas cards mailed la town to be delivered here are sorted in the lobby Of the postofiice.
 There seems no doubt that he fAkmy hssalsa Asa s.F tlaa SaaatafyRan A,,w- ing the year will be the largest in the history of the town. Business for the il months of the year end- ing Nov. 90 was larger that that in q similar period any other year and If the December business only equals that of any other year and record will be set, MT. Green said.
 Each month except August has been heavier iil business here than in corresponding months of last year. The total last August was slightly below that of August of last year.

Last August the required reserves of

and there is talk of another increase
of like amount. The Secretary of the
Treasury has also announced that he
plans to purchase large amounts of
imported gold. getting the funds by
the sale of government short time
promises to pay, The gold thus pur-
chased would be segregated and not
allowed to get into the hands of the
banks where il would enlarge their
reserves and permit an expansion of

These efforts are mentioned with
out critical analysis. In any case they
cannot be expected to reach our basic
difficulty which is due to the continu-
ing flow of funds to the United
States. This flow is embarrassing
partly because much of it comes in
the form of gold which may easily
increase the possibility of a serious
rise of prices and partly because
some of the furds may at later
