Mr.. Moran could take the key

people wouldn't let him bring in
one small piece of Gwendolyn.
We felt sort of sorry for Mr..
Moran, even though he did in

sorry. He called us up and
said:
II feel pretty generous about
this thing. A whale is fine

to share this souvenir with me-"
We didn't fall for that. IT ev-

under such trying conditions

this:
Welcome to San Francisco,

US. GOLD USED
TOCREATE MORE
EASY MONEY"

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is
(UPU)-Secfetary of Treas
ury Henry Morgenthau jr.,
today announced the release
of S30,000,000 of sterilized
gold in new fiscal policy design
ed to assure continuance of easy
money" and to prevent an increase
in the public debt
The new policy, Morgenthau said.
"is not deflationary" He refused to
say whether it would be interpret
ed in financial circles as initiation
airy. The administration has been
under heavy pressure from congress
sional liberals to revise its gold
sterilization program to combat the
recession.
Under the policy which the treas
ury has now abandoned, all gold
coming into this country has been
sterilized in an attempt to prevent
an uncontrolled credit boom. The
new plan which became effective
on January /, 1888, Morganthau
explained, calls for the isolation
only of gold in excess cf sl00,000,000
received by the treasury during
each three month period.
The gold acquired by the treas
ruy up to slOO,0O0OO0 each quarter
will be deposited to its account in
the federal reserve system. There.
it was explained, the gold will make
it possible TO relieve the treasury
of the obligation of borrowing in
the public markets to carry out
gold sterilization operations.
Morgenthau acted as the public
debt reached an alltime high of
s37,576, ,727,7l2.
