than to risk the effect of lower prices for farm products and other exported commodities which would be sure to follow change in gold price.
 If a wave of higher prices comes next fall, as many economists pre- dict, the, price of gold will again receive serious consideration.
 Meanwhile, gold coming into the country at. the rate of $100, ,000, ,000 a month of more continues to add to the national debt. Under the present monetary policy the govern ment's gold supply has increased from something over $7,000, ,000, 900 to $l1 300, 100000, or by more than four and a half billions. Thus a reduction of 10 or IS per cent in the price would necessitate writing of a very large loss.

Not Economical but Political
 Was Reason Behind Presi-
 dential Veto of Five Mill
 liOn-DOllar Appropriation
 for N. Y. Worlds Fair |.
 Original Bill Would Have
 Necessitated at Least One
 Republican Appointment.
 Washington, May 28-It might be nice to suppose that the preSiden- tial veto of the bill authorizing $5,- 100000 in federal funds for New York's world fair was really an econ omy gesture, however small.
 The unannounced motive, how ever, was political. Actually re- duction of the sum mention to $3,O0O,OOO is only 2 technical sav- ing, if that. For the bill didn't really appropriate any money, leaving that to Congress at some later date.
 But the bill provided for United States Commissioner Gen. eral for the fair at a salary of $1O,O0O. And then it provided for two assistant commissioners gen. eral at $7,5OO who must be mot of the same political party" Legal sharks at the Department of Justice pointed out that this might mean compulsory appoint ment of two republican assistant commissioners.

England Heeds Warning

ENGLAND, confronted with fact, with
II another fact and prepares to fight its next in
the air.
For the first time in its history budget estimates for
the Royal Air Force EXCEED those of the Army.
Consider that we-iust what it means.
England intends to SPEND MORE MONEY for air
planes than it does for its entire land forces
Because England KNOWS that supremacy in the air
Is the ONLY alternative to the death of an empire.
For the air force Parliament is asked to appropriate
404,25O,0OO.
For the army $4O2, ,052 900 is asked.
The English navy, for centuries the court of last a
peal in war; is to receive only $553 3754O00 Another
year or two and the air force will pass the navy.
The real rulers of England are hard-headed clear
thinking, fact-not theory-en They look at the 54O0
MILITARY planes in Soviet Russia, the 1900 in Ger
many, the $500 in Italy, the $500 in France
Then they prepare to meet ANY OR ALL OF THEM.
How shall the rulers Of America when, if the
dread day comes, we are found where WE ARE NOW,
unprepared to meet from the air7
England has needed the warning.
Must America remain asleep7

child Of Mr.. w. A. Hartman,
prominent railroad executive.
From the wealth Of mountain ter.
ritory, served by the road that his
father built, he and experts Sc
lected the valley in central, south
ern Idaho. Count Felix Shaft.
gotSch, the famous Austrian sports
man and ski champion, surveyed
the territory and reported in favor
of the site. So once again, despite
modern transportation such as the
motor and the plane, the railroads
are leading the way to new ideas
and magnificent projects.
PARADISE FOR SKIERs
Winter sports enthusiasts can
hardly wait to try out the newly
developed ski-liftS which will give
quick and comfortable access to
the heights. The chair Ski-liftS
will carry passengers 2,450 feet
above to the practice slopes and
$500 feet up the higher slopes.
An additional climb will give the
advanced skier runs of one to two
miles and even farther. Thus the
skier will not be required to re-
move his skis, but will be carried
up in a chair suspended from a
cable, his skis on and his legs on
a padded leg rest. To the east Of
the lodge is Proctor Mountain, with
the greatest amount and variety
Of ski jumps in the neighborhood.
A bus will run to the foot OF the
mountain where there will be q
ski-tow or drag line which will
hoist passengers $3.50 feet up q
narrow valley to the base Of the
chair lift.
The school and the practice
slopes will be at Dollar Mountain,
an ideal spot for beginners. Hans
Hauser, twice Austria open cham
pion, is in charge of the school
and pupils will be strictly graded
according to their proficiency.
