to exercise independence of judg'
ment, to cease being pliable rub
ber-stamps, is equally certain.
The widely-accepted assumption
of Roseveltian almightiness has
been proving wrong, the myth OF
IRoSeveltian omnipresence has been
exploded.
Consequently, it now becomes
pertinent for the people to ask In
fluential men of affairs, corpo-
ration executives, individual en-
ployers and others heretofore hesi-
tant, what are you going to do
about it?"
Is it not up to them to make
good?
What further excuse can they
give-in the event that European
war is averted-if they act the
role of towards?
WAGNER LAW HIT
There have been at least two
other encouraging developments:
Demand that the un-America1,
unbalanced, strife-breeding Wagner
labor law be amended has impres-
Sively broadened.
The summer months have wit
messed the retention of the moder'
ate economic gains scored earlier
and have brought further improve
ment in certain directions. More
over, nothing has happened to
dispel the long-held hopes that the
fall would bring its traditional in
crease in activity-again leaving
Europe out of account.
GAINS PREDICTED
Therefore, barring Illustration
from foreign sources, economic i'm.
provement will be logical here
Since alarming political trends
were adduced as grounds for con.
traction, the new barriers raised
against continuance of such
trends should stimulate confidence
and encourage a greater measure
of characteristic American enter
prise.
So .hould the drift Of public
sentiment laborwise.
The European pendulum must
very shortly swing decisively one
way or the other.

RETAIL TRADE
RISES FURTHER

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (I.NSO.
Retail trade picked up further this
week, according to Dun & Brad
street, Inc, as 10 national retail
trade associations voted to support
the national retail trade demon
stration scheduled to open next
Monday.
The trade review reported that
retail gains ranged 2 to 8 per cent
above the previous week and about
4 to Z per cent under the cor.
responding week of last year. The
sustained consumer purchasing
made further inroads into retailers
stocks, a replenishment prevented
a widening of the margin Of de-
crease in wholesale volume from
last year. Wholesale trade held
at 3 to IL per cent under last year.
Backing for the movement for
industrial recovery was provided

World grain prices, meanwhile

in the first hour and half.
Trading slowed to snaii's pace

European I1d"
tions are now off the gold stand
ard in any strict or orthodox sense
of the term, unless possibly Bel
gium.
DIFFERENT IN 1914
Nevertheless, 1 am as sure as
ever that gold is going to hold its
place as the best standard sub
stance for monetary purposes
chiefly reserves. Note the follow
ing facts and reasons.
First, most of the flight of
capital" from Europe to this coun'
try has been in the form of gold
shipments. Movements of funds
among nations are based on gold,
The rush to the dollar is a rush
to one thirty-fifth of an ounce OF
gold.
Second, much of the gold inflow
represents sums "earmarked"
here for the account of foreign
central banks. Much is also sent
here by individuals. These facts
show that balances are believed to
be best left over here, and meas
ured in gold. Back in 1914, when
the World War broke out, gold
was pulled out by Europeans. Now
they ship it here, or merely leave
it here, with the idea that their
war chests will thus be safer.
MUST TRADE WITH US
Third, there is little chance that
European nations can or will de-
sire to get along without trading
with us.
Fourth, what would they use
for money if they made no use
of gold?
