Doctor of Gold.

Doctor of Gold.
NEW YORK.-When Secretary
l Morgenthau calls in a money
doctor, he sends for DIR. Jacob Viner
of Chicago, currently summoned to
Washington to diagnose gold trou-
bles. Gold, the experts tell me,
keeps getting out of bounds, one
way or another. Burying few bill
lions of it in Kentucky doesn't seem
to help and there's no knowing how
long Uncle Sam can go on borrowing
money to buy and impound it. Off
stage, financiers and governme nts
are worried about gold, and it is
understood that our Treasury de-
partment is shaping policy. Hence
DIR. Viner's presence in Washing
ton.
DR.. Viner, of the faculty of the
University Of Chicago, was chief adj
wiser to the Treasury in 1884, loaned
by the university, and returned to
Chicago with the understanding that
he would be standing by If they
needed him badly. Oddly enough,
this trusted consultant in our vast
experiment in managed economy
belongs to the back-to-nature school
Of finance. He has vigorously op-
posed artificial wage and price stim-
ulants as aids to imitation and at
the depth of depression, when the
cry everywhere was for higher
wages, he was for lower monetary
wages-also prices-but for higher
real wages.
He says all this parallel jockey
ing of prices and wages comes to
nothing, and possibly something
worse; the real wage, determined
by its purchasing power, is the
only important consideration, and,
that, DIR. Viner believes, rises only
with the free and normal flow of
credits and goods around the world,
with low tariffs or no tariffs at all
this being his pet idea. He is def
initely placed as a liberal, but he
doesn't think we will get anywhere
by str0ng-arming economic laws.
He is Canadian born, forty-five
years old, natura1ized in 1914. He
was graduated at McGill university,
took his doctorate at Harvard, and
has been teaching, lecturing and
writing since-at one time adviser
to the shipping board and expert
for the tariff commission. His emf
nence is in the field of scholarship.
He is the author of some profound
and, to this department, quite in
comprehensive monographs on
money and credit. He is visiting
professor at the Graduate Institute
Of international Studies at Geneva,
and has towering reputation in
Europe. --.-----.>...- -.A-e-~ >.--->.>--

Communist Bogey Man.

communist BOgey Man.
DUDGY, bristling little Bella Kun,
who once seized and ruled Hun
gary, may or may not have been
executed in Russia. Reports are
meagre and conflicting. A few
weeks ago, a wayfarer back from
Europe told me Kun was suspected
of working with the Trotskyites. But
that was just rumor and there is
no explanation of what has hap
pened-if anything did.
In the main ports of entry in South
America and Europe, they turn in
riot call and burglar alarm ev-
cry time it is whispered that the
squat, swarthy and mysterious Bella
Kun is in the ofing.
For some reason, international po-
lice have put him down as the chief
spreader of the communistic virus,
although he has figured in no main
events since Admiral Horthy chased
him out of the pink and white Ro-
cocc0 palace at Budapest.
Born in Kolozsva, Pennsylvania,
he acquired law degree at the
University of Vienna. He fought
in the Hungarian army, was taken
prisoner by the Russians, converted
to Communism and joined the Red
army. He easily topped over the
mild Karolyi and for brief period
ran Hungary. Europe has been
steadily pegging him from one coun-
try to another in lot of fast triple
plays-Portugal to Spain to Brazil,
it was last summer.

FARM BUYING
BOOM IS Seen
Experts Say Farmers in
Best Position Since the
Early l92O's

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (UP)
Bumper crops have started a farm
buying boom unprecedented since
the World war, the agriculture
departments economists today
reported.
Farmers are buying more and
getting more for their products
they said than at any time IN the
past 10 years.
They will have more than nine
billion dollars to spend from this
years crop.
Long standing buying records
are being smashed.
While the total cash farm IN
come is still about 10 per cent be.
low the 1929 peak, the price OF
manufactured goods which farm
ers buy is nearly Is per cent
lower than in the boom years.
The balance of purchasing
power between farm products and
manufactured goods Is thus re-
ported the most favorable in re-
cent years.
1t takes fewer pounds of cot
ton or bushels Of corn to buy a
suit of clothes than at any time
since the early 1920's.

SOVIET AID TO CHINA WHILE

Nature Of Contents Of Re-
ply Note to Washington
Revealed in Part

TOKYO, Sept. 30.-(UP) -
Japan's answer to the United
States protest against "unre-
strained bombing" in China, was
disclosed today through foreign
office sources as brief 500-word
note asking the American govern
ment to Cooperate" in prevent
ing injury to foreign nationals in
China.
The reply, confined chiefly to
a repetition of previous state
ments, was regarded as n request
that American embassy and other
officials evacuate areas where
bombings are likely to occur, as
Ambassador Nelson 7. Johnson
once did in Marking.
it was noted unofficially that
Johnson's action in temporarily
removing the embassy staff-bit-
terly criticized in China and else
where-made the "best possible
impression" in Japan.
The only direct answer the note
repeatedly gave to the protest OF
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
against widespread aerial raids on
civilian areas in China was to re-
iterate Japan's contention that
Japanese filters were instructed to
attack only military detectives.
at goes without saying" the
note said, "that they (the raids)
are not directed indiscriminately
at non-combatants."
The note recalled the warning
given foreigners before, the air
attack on Marking, and asked the
United States to understand"
Japan's position and Cooperate
presumably by removing ma
tionals from the danger zones.
The reply pointed out the ad-
visibility of foreigners taking
refuge when warnings were given
in order to add a further factor
of safety to the care which the
note said was exercised by Jap
anese pilots.
The note did not commit Japan
on the subject of indemnlflcation,
stating merely that the govern
ments attitude remains as preVl-
ously defined.

LONDON, Sept. 30.-(UP)-
Nearly 800 insurance companies
of all nationalities have agreed to
refuse to insure property against
"war risks on land" it was an
nounced last night.
The announcement, made by an
association of insurance firms,
said that the decision was hasten
ed by the japanese bombardment
of Chinese cities and that insur-
ance against war risks "has be-
come little more than a gamble"
The insurance companies said,
at is reasonable assumption
that if owners Of factories and
warehoused stocks and heads of
financial, banking and commercial
undertakings throughout the
world had to make good them
selves the losses to their proper
ties due to war, the influences
working for peace would gain IN
strength"
Beginning October l, all British
insurance policies will, upon re-
newal, contain a clause specifying
that, "No liability shall be attach
