U. S. TREASURY
in MONEY MOVE,
PARLEYS HIN 7.
G o | d DeSteriIization
Seen Possibility

U.NyS.) Possibility that the
Administration is considering an
important monetary move was
seen today as the result of lengthy
secret conferences between high
fiscal officials.
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau, Federal Reserve Board
Chairman Mariner Eccles and
several other financial authorities
met at the Treasury yesterday for
several hours. A Treasury spokes-
man hinted that there might be
IAN announcement" within the
next few days.
IN LONG MEETING
The Federal Reserve Board also
held a long meeting that lasted
into the early evening. The ses-
sion was considerably longer than
usual.
It was reported in Treasury
circles that one of the topics dis
cussed at the Morgenthau.E Eccles
conference was gold desteriliza-
ton. Eccles recently advocated re-
lease Of a substantial portion Of
the Governments frozen" gold
stocks. He also urged renewal of
Government "pumppriming" ex-
penditures to stimulate industry.
GUARD ON IMITATION
The Government currently is
placing all its new gold acquisi-
tionS into a "Sterilized" fund to
guard against initiation. The Treas
ury's sterilized gold fund totals
81, zoo, ,000, 900.
It Is believed the Treasury is
deSirous to release some of this
gold since it must pay off in cash
$400, ,000. 900 Of Short-term maturi-
ties on March IS. At that time 1t
also must refinance $455, ,000, 900 Of
maturing notes.
Although March income tax
payments on 1897 income will
pump a large flow Of cash into the
Treasury, emergency relief costs
coupled with increased outlays for
national defense will constitute a
severe drain. The President this
week said he will need $3.50, ,00O, 900
additional for relief for the current
fiscal year.

tional Geneva Red Cross con-
vention or treaty under which
the nations let the Red Cross
work for both sides in a war.
Also it appears. while the Presi.
dent publicly excused the drive
by saying Japanese civilians did
not want any help, he was re-
ferring to an official Japanese
declination made at the opening
Of hostilities several months
earlier.
Miss Boardman made the
point that the Red Cross job
was disqualification for injured,
not feeding and clothing a civil
ian population. She thought
the situation was about the
same as If the American Red
Cross had tried to help the
German population during the
World War.
In fact, she seemed to sus-
pect the Administration was
getting its foreign policy mixed
up with the Red Cross.
MISS BOARDMAN carried her
V1 cry first to Admiral Gray
son, chairman of the Red Cross.
Meeting no success, she then
went up on the inside to State
Secretary Hull. Mr.. Hull was
busy at the moment with for
eign diplomat. But the confer
ence was interrupted to consider
Miss B3ardman's demand that
the driv~ be called off. Mr..
Hull even telephoned the White
House, but found the President
insistent. The drive went on.
The official argument for the
drive is probably hole-proof
legally. Basic fact is the Chi
nese civilians are suffering;
japanese civilian abodes have
not been invaded. There is no
reason TO believe the Japanese
would want any help If asked
again. But the crowning legal
proof appears to be that the Red
Cross treaty is operative only in
case OF war, and what has been
going or in China is not sup
posed to be one-officially.
However, the fact that the
President stepped into the sit
uation before any action by the
international Red Cross appar.
emily has no legal phase but
possibly only a diplomatic one.
Generally diplomatic observ-
ers believe the President want
ed to show American sympathy
for the Chinese without in
volving the Government direct
ly. They consider it an illustra-
ton of his intention to adapt
Democratic diplomatic customs
to meet the new diplomatic
subterfuges of the dictators.
This, they say, is a tap root
Of the foreign policy, for which
Senator johnson has been look
ing.
A MOTHER less controversial
n little move is the project
to fly the biggest and best
army bombers down to Buenos
Aires, It seems that while Ar
gentina bought $500, 900 worth
of airplanes here last month,
the Italians have been stunting
their ships significantly all over
South America. Their biggest
stunt was Bruno Mussolini's
flight.
Inner congressional wheels
were well creased in advance to
push the new relief increase
through fast. Administration
oilers thought they had every
thing fixed when Senator
Carter Glass acquiesced at the
White House conference of con-
sressional leaders with the
President. Opposition Senators

CTRANGE appointment of ex-
~ Brain Truster Berle to be
Assistant State Secretary seems
to be just a temporary device
to get him on the payroll for
the British trade pact negotia-
tionS. But he is an expert on
finance rather than commerce.
This naturally has started
talk that there may be some
monetary and war debt angles
in the coming negotiations, al
though this is denied officially
with customary ardor.
TYPICAL examples of Wash.
L ington confusion are the con-
flicting reports about Mr.. Roose-
velt's view on Donald Richberg's
proposal for an economic coun-
Gil in the Commerce Depart
ment to supervise voluntary
trade agreements smoothing
out production peaks and val
leyS.
One Senator who saw Mr.. r.
last week says the President has
been thinking in the opposite
direction, toward antitrust &C.
ton. Another Senator says Rich
berg is a Presidential Sound-out
man. They may both be right.
They did not see the President
on the same day. Furthermore,
there are other indications Mr..
Roosevelt wants to mix up a
little antitrust action with a
little trade agreement action at
the same time. It has been
done that way here before.
