MONEY AND GOLD

Last week the money in circulation in
the United States amounted to Sc, 1851 ,000,~
900. In reserve, the United States Treasury
held in monetary gold stocks $12,841 ,000,-
600. This is more than So worth of gold for
each dollar of money in circulation.
1t may be interesting to our readers
to compare the money in circulation and
the gold stocks in this country with similar
figures of other great nations.
England has note circulation of 1885,
SIT, 131 pounds. This was backed by only
327,222,2 PA pounds in gold holdings. For
France ire figures are worse. The note cir
culation in francs, was 98,063, 100000 and
the gold holdings, 55,8o6, 100000 francs.
The condition of Nazi Germany is seen in a
note circulation of 1924, 100000 marks.
This is backed by gold holdings of only
100000 marks.
A casual study of these figures will re-
veal why the United States dollar is the
soundest money in the world.

to apply it. Also there has never been
time when all parts of the world
have been so dependent upon each
other.
Then. too, notice government budg-
ets-in Germany, Japan, Italy, France
and elsewhere, including even Great
Britain and especially the United
States. Deficits are found in all of
them and in many there is no sign of
Improvement. The reasons for the
deficits are not hard to understand.
Expenditures for ornaments lead in
many countries. Relief for the unfor-
tunate. OUTLAWS for public works and
other items swell the totals. But no
matter what the explanations the
deficits are there and are growing.
Opposition parties in all countries are
harsh in their criticisms, but when
they come into power do little to
change conditions.
Closely related to the budget def
cts but also connected with the at
tempts at economic lf-sufficiency
are price movements. Governments
with deficits are initiating the curren-
cies in various ways. Many econo-
mists have issued warnings. for ex-
ample in the United States. but be-
cause imitation does not come with
rush. efforts are made to discredit
them. None of us can prophesy with
certainty but it is clear that the foun-
dations are laid for an ultimate and
serious rise in prices. Moreover. the
presSures on governments are such
that they are pushed into policies that
increase the dangers.
This list of bad news" could be
heightened, but only one more item
much needless hySteria. Thus. in the
United States there is no reason for
saying that government is destroying
our wealth or our income by taxing
us so heavily. First, our taxes take a
smaller percentage of our national
income than do taxes in many other
countries. Second, government does
not destroy the income it receives. AS
has been pointed out before in this
column, the question is merely one
of what things we want government
to do and whether the government
can do these things more or less eff
GENTLY than would private agencies.
The difficulty is that of devising taxes
of sufficient size that can be collected
without restricting economic activity.
Such items as these are the ones to
consider. Current news on a particu-
lar day may be good" Much more
important are the trends just indi-
Gated. How we handle the problems
they raise will determine whether the
front page news of the future will be
good or bad.

AS this is written, candidates
are gasping out their last appeal
before the election and since this
column will not be published I'M
til after that event there isn't
much left for me to do but guess
at results.
While it is easy to be mistaken
l believe we will find Claude
Pepper by far the most popular
candidate in the u. S. Senate
race. There is a strong poSSibili-
ty of his carrying the election in
the first primary. While they
have had lost of fun calling him
Charley Mccarthy they will
find that he is just as popular
with the voters as his namesake
IS with radio fans.
The biggest laugh of the CAM
paign to me was Dave Sholtz'
sound truck on the streets of
Lake Wales entertaining listeners
prior to Dawes talk with a record
entitled Drop A Nickel in the
Slot. 1t appealed to me as so
APPROPRIATE.
Dave. at this writing, seems TO
be clear out of the picture. l find
this everywhere I've been in the
past ten days. He will finish a
poor third if the signs mean any
thing.
Mark Wilcox, on the contrary,
has gained strength daily and if
there is a second primary it will
be between Wilcox and Pepper
and WHAT A RACE it will be.
Both men are able campaigners
and both viii put on a fast and
furious second heat. If Mark
should be so fortunate as to get
another go with Pepper he should
have no trouble in securing plen-
ty of Republican money and back
ing and would give Claude a run
for his money
With my eyes glued on the sem
ate race I've had little time TO
consider the Supreme Court and
Railroad Commission dog-fights.
But my guess is that we will find

CHANGING NAMES

1t seems to be comparatively easy for
person to change his or her name in
Great Britain. Moreover, there seems to
be nothing unusual in doing so.
For example, Viscount Halifax, pre-
ent British Foreign Secretary, was an I'M
familiar name to most Britons some months
ago. The gentleman bearing it, however,
was well-known as Lord Irwin, former
Viceroy of India. Before that, he was
known as plain Frederick Wood.

our being on 1.-The edge of the abyss"
leave him unmoved. Also he is sell
dom stirred by the buoyant spirits
of those optimistS who are always
seeing prosperity around the COR
ner." Conditions are seldom as bad or
as good as they are painted.
But is the London editor warranted
in saying mo bad news? Presumably
so, if he was referring only to the
dispatches of the day. The British
agreement with Italy had just been
announced. The news from Spain in
dictated that the war in that unhappy
country may soon be over. For TWEEN
ty-four hours it seemed to him that
there was little or nothing to view
with alarm" Yet if this is taken TO
mean that our major problems are so
fully settled that we may cease to
worry, then second thoughts are in
order. What economic forces and ten
denotes are basic? Have they been
relieved?
It is often said that there are popu-
lation preSSures in certain countries,
notably in Germany. Italy and Japan.
There are few expressions more care
leSsly used than is "over-population."
But one aspect of it is the attitude of
mind of the people concerned. For
years the Germans, the Italians and
the japanese land now the Poles)
have been told that they need more
territory. This idea has been so Wig
orously and so repeatedly stated that
not only these people themselves but
millions of others in all parts of the
world believe it. Whether it is accu-
rate or not we need not stop to in
quire. The belief is firmly imbedded.
Then there is the idea of national
Ism and the belief in the necessity of
"self sulficiency." Probably at no
time in history has this view been so
widely held and so many efforts made
