The Redwood Gazette,
SirS:
In discussing the railroad prob
lem it would be easy to conclude
their plight was caused by high
rates or low rates or something
else as simple. Their trouble be-
gan when the traffic and the pro-
fit took to the highways and
pipelines.
An economic necessity, the
bankrupt victim of a system, they
stand today a white elephant
along the path of prograss.
Here is a classic example of the
failure of a private enterprise to
function within the framework of
the profit, of its failure to create
employment and prosperity and
cheaper service and expanding
market and all those things so
dear to the tory heart that are
supposed to be possible by private
enterprise.
Instead, after the ruthless re-
cord of exploitation of former
years, we find today rugged
chickens coming home to roost on
the steps of innocent investors.
The I. G. G. agrees higher rates
offer no permanent solution to the
problem. Government ownership
advocates do not pretend they
could make an Improbable bust
ness pay out.
For a rugged individualist the
solution is naturally vague. They
know what the railroads need but
they do rot know how they can
get it. It is strange some enter
prising tories haven't thought of
laying their trouble on the poll
ticians or high taxes. Here is some
good conservative campaign
thunder going to waste. The rail-
roads need a goat or catspaw or
somebody to hold the sack. The
only question is whether it will
be the bond holder of the public.
With true inconsistence, the
railroad officials who in good
times damn the government in
general and the politicians in par
ticular are now meekly meeting
in Washington to discuss ways
and means for the common good.
The railroads face a crisis. To
pay dividends on their 26 billion
dollar investment they need more
business which they can't get.
Should the water be squeezed out
of the stock which will perhaps

may be bad ethics to criticise the
judgment of big business when it
makes bum investments. Yet,
many little men make bad in
vestments, then make the rounds
of glutted labor market and fin
ally ED up on a relief project
where they are called chislers,
parasites, chronic drones and so
on, ad infinitum, by our better
class of citizens.
The railroad issue is clear gov
eminent ownership, government
subsidy or lost savings.

taxpayers worked themselves into
a state of near hysteria over not
being able to have the names OF
relief clients published. We have
great faith in the integrity of our
Lyon county officials and in their
responsibility with our tax
money.

paid for it by issuing currency.
Each dollars worth was good for
a dollar bill. The bill, deposited in
a federal reserve bank, became
the base for added credit. For by
law and custom banks may lend
five, 10 or even 20 times their
original deposits.
In other words, a million dol
lars III bank deposits might be the
base for 20 millions in loans.
The availability of all that
credit was fine while the depres-
sion was deep. But recovery set
in. Demand for loans picked up.
The treasury got worried. What
would happen, it wondered, if all
that foreign gold should be with
drawn suddenly and all those
loans had to be repaid at once?
Wouldn't there be a panic.
So the experts sought a way to
keep additional gold from becom-
ing the basis for additional credit.
Sterilization was applied as the
way out.
Thereafter, when foreign gold
arrived at the treasury, no new
currency was issued to pay for it.
Instead, for 500 worth of gold,
the treasury issued S100 bond.
This went back to the bark just
as currency would, but ordinarily
it did not become the basis for
credit.
In couple of years, the treas
ury had issued 81, 400,000,000 of
these bonds against "sterilized"

he isn't worth writing to. Just

CHARGES JAPAN
BACKED PARADE

A charge that Japanese money
was behind the parade here yester-
day" Of girl silk workers protesting
q boycott of Nipponese silk prod.
ucts was made today by Eugene
Schachner, editor of China Today.
Declaring it was unfortunate
that Emil Rieve, president of the
American Federation of Hosiery
Workers, should have been hood
winked by agents of Japan into
becoming chairman of the COM
mittee that organized the parade, "
Mr.. Schachner asserted:
"The Federal Trade Commis-
sion now has before it evidence
that the International Silk
Guild, headed by Paolino Gerli,
has received $750,O0O for the
purpose of fighting the boycott
against silk. Mr.. Gerli IS a
member of the joint industrial
council which arranged yester-
days parade"
The publication of which
Schachner is editor is published
III New York by the organization
known as The American Friends
of the Chinese People.

CHINESE FUND
RETURNS POOR

Contributions to the one-million-

ter of the Red Cross reported
today.
Brig. Gen. F. r. Keefer, chair.
man of the District chapter, re.
ported that only $120 has been
received here since the drive
started the first of the week.
With a severe winter in China
and hundreds of thousands of
persons made homeless, the need
is great, American diplomatic
representatives said.
It is estimated that $1.25 will
provide food, shelter and medical
attention for one person for one
month. All money received will be
transmitted direct to China and
expended by the Red Cross for
relief purposes.
