Mr. Arnold has been holding for

Entire " GRID Is Dumping
Hs Gold on | nifod States


But there are strong objections to
the other course also. II The Presi-
dent should further decrease the
gold value Of the dollar, that of
course would automatically mark up
the price of gold from its present
level, S35 an ounce. One of the
chief difficulties of the present stu
alton is that the entire world is
dumping its gold on the United
States at $35 an ounce. We don't
want the gold, but to keep the price
of gold at that level, and also to
keep the dollar down in relation 10
the British pound sterling and the
French franc, we have to keep on
buying it.
So the question presents itself,
when we are virtually the only buy
or in the world for d commodity
and when we are buying billions Of
dollars worth Of il that we really
do not want, why VIC should raise
the price still further.
A middle course has been sug-
gestea that the United States stop
buying gold. but do nothing about
the price. That Of course would
promptly result in the price of gold,
there then being no big buyer, 60
ing down in terms Of dollars. 1t
would also bother the British no end.
The pound has been sliding down
rapidly. This stoppage Of gold buy
ing by the United States would re
suit in accelerating the slide. Then,
too, Britain is financing the big arm
ament purchases she is making in
the United States by shipping us
South African and other gold. If
she could not pay in gold, what
would happen?
Certainly nothing helpful to the
United States. So the prospect is
that the present policy will be CON
tinued for some months to come,
at any rate

Little Prospect Of Further
DEGRADATION Of tie Dollar

Despite reports to the contrary,
there is very little prospect Of any
further devaluation of the dollar.
President Roosevelt has the right
TO devalue il down TO so per cent of
the old dollar ct was devalued TO
only 5906 cents BY the first action).
viii retain that legal right until
June under the present law. After
that he would have TO have new con-
gressional approval
But the situation that holds the
United States firmly to the present
gold valuation Of the dollar is very
simple The President has the pow
er 10 increase the value of the dol
lar in gold-that is to move it back
towards what il once Was-or to de-
crease it, carrying out the final step
contemplated by congress, which
would then make the dollar just
half as valuable, in gold, as it was
in 1922.
To increase the value of the dol
lar in gold-or move Backwards
unthinkable for political reasons. In.
the first place, the farmers of the
country have been told by the New
Deal for SIX years that this devalua-
ton helped farm and commodity
prices-that to make the dollar less
valuable obviously made their crops
worth more in dollars. As their
mortgages and debts and purchases
are in dollars, this seems like a
good thing to them. And while it
might be argued that decreasing the
value Of the dollar might increase
the prices the farmers have to pay
for everything they buy. this argu-
ment would not affect the easing of
their debts,

Citizens Association Seeks
K Street viaduct and
Free Parking Lot.

Declaring that the now of through
ramc endangered residential prop

potential customers would boost COM
mercial values in Georgetown, the
Georgetown Citizens Association voted
on several trafic proposals at its
meeting In st. Johns parish hall last
night.
The suggestion of Frank P. Leetch,
chairman Of the Executive Commit
tee. that the old M street George
town Market property be retained by
the District government and con-
verted into free parking area serv-
Ing local merchants was adopted,
along with companion plan sub
mitted by John H. Ihlder, District
alley dwelling administrator, that a
bypass highway be constructed
along K street connecting Rock Creek
parkway with Key Bridge to drain of
unwanted through traffic. The asso-
citation will ask District Commission
ers to place these improvements on
their current program.

An increase in the number of park
ing lots was advocated by members.
A tunnel from Thirty-fifth street to
Key Bridge. and conversion of the
canal to a viaduct were suggested.
Alternative use of the market place
by the Washington Boys Club or for
other community purpose was amend
ed to the market resolution at the sug-
gestion Of Ernest I. Lewis. president.
Diversion of the District gas tax

Robert H. Fielder. chairman of Pub

anti-social the locking up of tax
money for limited use, such as man.

He urged use of reason rather than
precedent to find means to remedy
welfare deficiencies which are becom-
