Does Gold Rust?

One of the properties of gold is that 1t does not rust So the chemist will tell you But there may be another side to that. If to rust is to deteriorate, to waste away, to disintegrate, perhaps even gold will rust. The United States now has $2O,00O,0OO,00O worth of gold, This is between TO and 70 per cent of all the gold in the world The last billion has been accumulated since mid-May. AS this horde accumulateS, so interest mounts as to what to do with it. Monetary experts disagree.
 Some say we are rapidly approaching the day when this or practically all, 1t seems clear that others must find a means of conducting trade without it. Already German papers like the Deutsche BergwerkSzeitung are saying, "The gold standard has for us only historical in- terest." That is not braggadocio Already the goddess German mark is the stand ard currency of the whole continent of Europe Because it is not traded in ln- ternational dealings, one may say that the mark is practically worthless. But if the bayonet can make it good through out all Europe (and it has) then it is not worthless. And if barter dealing and economic pressure can make it good in other farther-aWay places, then It Is not worthless there, either.
 It is becoming inofeasingly clear to more and more people that gold is useless unless it is used, So the Republican plat form has suggested it's distribution at home and abroad. The Democratic declaration is, of course, not yet avail able. But if the United States is to compete in international trade after Europes war is over, it is clear that there must be countries whose money bears a recognizable relationship to our own, so that exchange is possible.
 Every passing month points more clearly to the idea of distributing part of this gold to countries whose trade and friendship is sought, and whose money can thus be put in relation with our own. We do not want to set up monetary bloc with the bayonet. But we must not much longer refuse to use that other more peaceful weapon, our own surplus gold stock. We should put it to work while there is still strength in it, before that rustless metal has rusted away in a manner that not the chemist but the economist may understand
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-15
North America, Granary

Strangely against the background of a Europe which many believe will face ter rible food shortages this winter, appears the picture of North America. This great granary of the world will be bursting, after the coming harvest, with 1870, O,00O,- 900 bushels of wheat. The United States alone is expected to have surplus avail able for export of 160,000,000 bushels. Yet the normal markets for grain in Europe have been cut off, and in the face of short crops, Europe may suffer the lack of grain beneath which the Amer icas are suffocating.
 Even the war has not affected thus far this terrific dislocation. Europe will badly need much of this grain, but it has no way to get it, no way to pay for it or transport it. For this, those who are responsible for the unloosing of war are also responsible.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-07-15
Not a War Party

One thing that delegates to the Demo- cratic convention opening in Chicago to- \day should keep in mind is the fact that their party is not committed to war. The Democrats don't have to plunge this nation into any European conflict. If there is one thing that the American people want to avoid, if it's possible, it is a war on foreign soil. Everyone seems to be agreed on this and Democrats, lead CTS and partymen alike, want to keep this fact in front of them all the time.
 But, that isn't the whole story. We are not going to throw our weapons in- to the middle of the Atlantic and tell any aggressor that we will resist by peaceful means. European rulers have shown that they consider might more important than right today, so it's up to us to convince them that we think we're right and we intend to prove this by our might Mil lions for defense is good slogan today, for it puts this nation Squarely out in front as the one force in the western hemisphere that is prepared to resist any and all efforts to instill totalitarian ideas into the several forms of government over here.
 This nation has every opportunity at hand to present so determined and so powerful front that no foreign dictator would have the courage or the foolhardi- ness to try to gain foothold over here nor to go counter to our concepts of what con- StituteS violation of the Monroe Doc Urine. The Democratic Party this week must be prepared to convince this nation that it is keeping pace with rapidly moving events throughout the world and is prepared to present nation of peace loving peoples who are determined to se- cure the respect of the world not its enmity.
