Speech Expert Holds
Ground. Saws It's Me-

PHILADELPHIA speech
simply means socially acceptable,
according to DR.. Hans Kurath, lin
guistics professor at Brown univer-
sity.
While in Philadelphia for a meet
ing of the American Council OF So
cial Agencies, DR.. Kurath defended
such expressions as II amt gonna
do it" on such grounds.
''The form of speech acceptable
on the Main Line would be inappro-
pirate and therefore incorrect on
the farm" he explained. Usage,
he commended, is the basis on which
we call a form of speech good or
bad, correct or incorrect.
Asked IL he personally would use,
IT'S me-" instead of TITS l." the
speaker answered:
IT never say anything else and 70
per cent Of the distinguished gentle
men In this society say 1t unblush-
ingly."

What Happens When We Get 1t All?

Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau finally shows
signs OF worry the hoard of gold this country
collecting and bufyng. In a recent speech before
women of the Democratic party Mr.. Morgenthau con-
fessed fear that the sunken treasure might prove
vaueleSs when the European war ends
Its high time someone worried about this problem.
Nearly 10 billions of dollars worth of the yellow metal
almost quarters of the worlds suppIy-now is
In possession We continue to buy because doing so
Is supposed to help our export trade. We pay more
than any other country win give for it and far more
than it probably is worth In fact there is reason to
believe that if stopped buying the price would drop
to an all-time low on the world market
1t follows that gold is scarce 10 varying degrees,
IN every other nation. For example, England and
comparatively little Germany, Japan and Italy have
practically none Germany has had little for years and
has done pretty well without it, BY barter agreements
she obtained the OIL metals and other supplies neces-
sary TO carry Htlers series of bitzegs England,
too already has done bit of barterng, trading English
manufactures for commodities she needed.
Certainly if the Nazis win the they are not
going to worry about gold q of exchange be-
cause ~ they probably viii have none and (2) they
ming through their gold supply may well face the
dilemma and solve it in the same manner. In either
would be stuck" with huge treasure of metal
of value to most of the countries of the world
than similar pile of dirt. Our internal as well as
international trade would crash.
Apparently the only course open to us is to dis
tribute OF this hoard in order TO protect the value
of the balance Of course good American commodities
and services have been given in exchange for this gold
give away lend part of it. But prudent selfish
would lead to give up rather than the
whole nvestment-for that is what it amounts tofade
into worthlessneSS.

Events of the past week in Europe have aroused
Americans like nothing else has for more than two
decades. The smashing of seemingly impregnable
forresses and highly trained armies by the mechanical
and air might of the Germany army has brought home
10 nearly every of us the fact that our own de-
lenses woefuy weak And the Nazi grab for power
has shown that it is the weak nations that in
greatest danger of attack.
Most tragic event of the past two weeks has been
the discovery not of the glazing flaws in military
rampars, but that the most serious weaknesses could
not be corrected within less than year, probably much
longer. What threw light on this dsmaying fact was
the unprecedented speed with which the Nazis have
pressed home their attacks. The very weapons that
made them successful of airplanes, tanks,
mechanical artillery and other are the
weapons we lack. We cannot build them in hurry
because puny arms industry is not prepared to go
a production basis.
This country is deplorably short of experts" The
aviation industry needs skilled technicians TO increase
its comparatively insignificant output There is SIM
liar bottleneck in shipbuldng branch, which was
allowed to go to seed for nearly 20 after the
World War; We have practically capacity for turn
rifles machine guns and other equipment that the
modern army must have if it is to be worth MAIN
tanning.
This, the richest and most envied nation earth,
cannot obtain today the materials need for defense
And tomorrow we may be faced by hostile navy In
the Atlantic-the British and French fleets in the
hands of the aggressors. Already we have the any
thing but brOtherly Japanese hands in the
Pacific Our navy, probably our most nearly salts
factory weapon, is strictly .one-ocean fleet.
This is the possibility that keeps our governing
bodies awake nights this thought of enemies both
our coasts They do not consider it probability; they
are not paniclxy. But they going 10 call on our
citizens for mighty effort 20 renew the only liberty
insurance" strong defense. No American can afford
to avoid paying his share of the premium.
