the car whizzed up the road. It
didn't travel as fast as Linda had
imagined II would. She felt herself

trying to wish IL into faster speed.
One mile passed. Two and three.
They went on and on. Finally Rom 4
aid gave the name of the minister

who conducted a marriage mart,
performing ceremonies in swift

II had been held In church,

Robert had been there. All, there

The car stopped. Ronald handed

Linda's slender arm. He hurried
her through the maze OF cars at

CHAPTER THIRTY. SEVEN

LINDA turned to the car where
Ronald waited as the door closed
behind Robert. 1t was such a final
closing. Not sharp. Not swift. Just
inevitable.
Linda, Sarah's eloped," Ronald
said. "Eloped with a man from our
band!"
II didn't know she was interested
In any Of the men In your band"
she answered as she climbed into
the car.
"She isn't. That's It! Don't you
see? But she thought that it was
hopeless to wait around. Oh, I'm
making mess of it. Sarah fell in
love with me, really in love. Not at
first. That was a game she played.
But later :"
His voice was broken and hurt.
There was no pretense in 1t now.
Linda spoke steadily.
"You mean since that night on
the boat when saw you, and may
be before
He nodded, not speaking.
The road was deserted at this
hour. They had gone over to the
streets along the piers and turned
northward. There was a smell of
fish and an odor Of salt in the wind.
Ronald spoke again. "She can't
marry this man, Linda. because she
doesn't care anything about him.
He's not a bad saxophone, but he's
not for her. Some day there'll be
somebody else. Oh. hang It, we've
got to stop her. Linda"
II seemed to Linda, thinking
about It afterward, that in that mo-
ment she grew up. Suddenly the
whole pattern was clear. She and
ReHHie had grown up together.
They had given their first boy-and-
girl devotion to each other. II had
been a preface to an older, wiser
love, but they had not known.
They had gone on. blindly believing
this was real.
And il wasn't. She knew II now.
Ronald loved Sarah, but he had felt
that the new affection must not
replace the old one. In this new I'M
Outstanding Linda could even for
give him for asking her to walt
with her evidence concerning Mr..
Parrish. She could forgive him. but
not quite forget.
As the car spend past the steam
ship agencies she spoke simply
Ronald. why didn't you tell me
you loved Sarah?"

You and Your Nations Affairs
HITLER AND OUR GOLD
ny WALTER E. sPAHR
Professor Of Economics, New York University

extent It does not facilitate trade;
1t hampers 1t. It is for these reasons
that money, as q medium Of ex-
change has replaced barter. And Of
all money, none facilitates interna-
tional exchanges as effectively as
gold, or currency and credit resting
upon it.
To assume, therefore, that a bar
ter system could for long, or to any
great extent, replace trade In terms
Of gold is completely unwarranted.
Then, in thinking that Hitler
could destroy the value Of our gold,
1t must be remembered that the
"value"of gold can refer to three
things.
/. 1t can refer to the gold price
OF gold-that Is, the number Of gold
dollars into which an ounce Of gold
Is coined. Our government has pro-
vided that we shall coin an ounce
Of pure gold into $35. So long as
we are a sovereign nation, our gov
eminent alone decides the number
Of gold dollars into which we shall
coin an ounce Of gold. Hitler can
not change that-not unless he can
replace our Congress or persuade it
to make a change.
2. The value of gold can refer to
the paper money price Of gold. Be-
cause the system of indirect con-
version Of our paper money into
gold at the rate of $35 per fine ounce
Of gold, 1t is not likely that our
paper money price of gold will
change. Certainly Hitler cannot
change 1t. And where other nations
have been forced to give up gold
temporarily, and to fall back upon a
cheaper currency, the paper money
price of gold has rise nrather than
fallen.
3. The value of gold can also re-
fer to the purchasing power of gold
in terms of other commodities that
is, 1t can refer to our price level.
CAS- the price level rises the value
Of gold falls, and vice versa.) But
Hitler cannot control our price level;
and If any Of his acts should con-
tribute, for example, to a rise in our
price level, this fal in the value Of
gold means nothing more than that
our price level has risen. There is
nothing new nor strange about a
fiuctuation in our price level; that
has always taken place, and 1t would
not { at least, 1t need not) affect the
vlue Of gold in the two preceding
senses.
For all these reasons, the common
popular suggestions, assertions, and
fears regarding Hitler's impairment
or destruction Of the value" Of our
gold are without support in fact
Hitler shows better understanding
of the importance Of gold in this
current world situation by trying to
get all he can Of 1t.
