That Pile of Gold

Symbolic OF American policy for the past decade
so is the huge collection of gold government has
put into cold storage in the ground beneath Fort Knox
Prospectors in all of the earth scramble to find
men and many dollars of equipment to separate from
lesser metals Great ships trains and aircraft carry it
to this country. Uncle Sam buys tat the top inter-
national prce-and then buries it.
Result is that we have about three-quarters of the
worlds supply of gold. Good American cash, which
been paid for it. And after blowing it under" we
put soldiers guard it to make that it is not
dug up again.
This has been an era of blowing under. American
farmers have been told they must limit their produc
ton though large portion of the world is hungry.
American industry is said to be suffering from over
production despite the fact that other country in
the world enjoys many and varied manufactured
articles as we do and large portion OF people
have too few. American workers told to stay at
home and collect relief because industry is overcrowded
while many of our industrial plants shut down
working at fraction Of their capacities. We hear
that banks full of money, but just let an
established man with good idea try to get capital to
put the scheme across.
As for the gold horde, our present policy cannot
continue. Already have much of the metal that
several countries have found other of exchange
We have lost trade to the barter system. IF every
other nation should decide to refuse gold payment
most of tive would be in even serious eco
nomic condition.
We could put our idle gold to work in many
fields Loans to other nations, whether they
paid not would help protect the value Of the rest
of horde Purchases of such foreign produced
for defense could be paid for in gold great quantities
of it. This is not suggestion that we throw away
gold reckessy, but must get some of it back into
other countries.

being told emphatically-to get 60
ing and produce and produce and
expand and expand. It Is a part Of
the hysteria that grips the national
capital
With respect to the situation In
which the manufacturers find them
selves. the story is simple. It Is
merely repetition of 1917 and 1918.
The nations industrial structure
was urged and threatened and ca
joled into the greatest speed posi-
BILE. Make war materials" was the
cry. Industry did. But In the end,
industry that went overheard, head
long into the manufacture of war
materials went broke. Its expendi-
lures for plant expansion and for
general increased facilities bled it
white. When the tax bill was paid,
war industry had nothing left. It
will be the same this time, unless
common sense prevails. There can
be war preparation without hyste-
ria; there can be war preparation
without the destruction of business
firms. but I am afraid 1t will be the
same story as evolved from the first
World war.
To bring this phase to a specific
basis, 1t Is necessary only to call at
tention to the tremendous losses that
were sustained by individuals who
had savings invested In stocks or
bonds Of great corporations. When
ever those losses occur, there nat
urally follows destruction Of the
whole economy of a family's life.
II Is fatal But Il win be so again,
! am afraid.
We are told that We must have
gigantic army. There is need Of 1t.
We do not know now what may
emerge from the secret that belongs

South American countries--at least

math. We may wish to avoid think
ing Of those things. but I. repeat we
will gain nothing by failing to look
to the future.
For one thing, II the first World
war was the cause. direct or in
direct. of the depression that has
now gone 10 years, then there Is an
other one due after several years of
wintry blasts and burning summer
suns have destroyed the stains of
blood on Europe's battlefields. My
inquiries Of men who study the field
Of economics have brought little
more solid information than that we
must expect another cycle of torn
business and personal relations. AS
tar as I am personally able to figure
out the depression that has been
with US for 10 years may prove to
be only rehearsal for the real
worldwide depression that Is to
come. I cannot see how 1t can be
avoided.
Another thing that gives the Life
perspective blue-black appearance
Ia the certainty that whoever wins
the gigantic marian explosions of
the current war, there will remain
thereafter hatred and threats of new
wars. The hatred IL certain. Who
viii not hate another people by
whom hundreds Of thousands Of hus-
bands, brothers. sons and sweet
hearts were destroyed? The hatred
win obtain whether Hitler dominates
all Of Europe or whether. as any
sane person hopes. he In destroyed
and his followers subiugated.

Large Standing Army
Presents NeuO Problems

ana meSe observations about the
army-they are true, also, Of the
navy bring another problem. 1t has
been true all through history that
great standing army has served to
give that army or some Of its out
standing leaders undue importance
In determining national policy. I
fear It may be a case in which
history Is going to repeat itself.
OF course, there can be patriotic
army leaders who will look first to
the nations general welfare. There
can be another kind, too. It is a
thing to which the current and next
generation must look with an eye of
caution. Indeed. it Is entirely pos
sible that we, as a race of people,
could be converted into a warliIke
nation.
I am thinking, too, Of the losses
that are coming-many Of them al
ready recognizable-in the ways Of
science. Scientists work for years
to accomplish whatever advances
are made in the direction Of better
living. It Is too obvious to need
reference here that all Of the great
scientific developments that have
come from Germany are lost to the
world Of the future. That La to say,
there viii be none of consequence
except war notwithstanding out of
Germany, because the inducement
to invent and discover Is being driv-
en- out Of the hearts and the minds
Of men and women in the war-torn
continent.
In our country, there are losses
being sustained in that direction. Not
as much, 1t Is true, as has been not
ed In Europe, but there are losses
because brains and imagination will
be directed towards the evolvement
Of machines and programs to meet
any attack. The world will be armed
and we must know what others are
doing. So our scientists will be de-
voting fertile brains to the produo-
ton of terrible machines Of death.
and there will be praise for those
who produce the most horrible types
Of death-dealing apparatus.
It Is INDUCING in idle imagination.
perhaps. but contend that even In
our peace-loving country. those with
q life Of 80 years more may yet wit
ness great terminals Of railroads un-
derground; great artificial reser-
voirs of food established in safe
places. new types of defenses not
now envisioned. ALI of these things
may come because the warclouds
are going to continue to roll and the
United States must sit with its anti
aircraft guns trained to the skies.
There is then only this thought to
be added: the United States must
accept the idea Of greater protec-
ton than 1t ever has had, and 1t
must be prepared to pay for it,
which Is to say, taxes and more
taxes are coming. It must accept
a readiustment in its business pur-
suits and Individual training. But
while 1t can do all of :hese-must
do them-there is no plausible ex-
cuse for going nuts and adding to
the bill by wasting resources In
preparation that has not been
thought out.

Wasting Time to Save Lives

With the schools closed and children again having
time to get into the roads children WILL it is
up to motorists to be careful than before. This
plea has been repeated every summer but it cannot be
made too often.
Youngsters have no legal right to play in the high
ways and it is asking lot Of motorists to watch out
for additional traffic hazards when there already
so many. But the fact remains that children do get
from being manned or killed and that way is in the
hands Of the drivers.
It is almost impossible to stop travelling at
high speed in time to avoid striking youngster who
suddenly darts from the curb The is to reduce
the speed of the car A few minutes lost well
worth single young life saved. Let's, drive more
slowly during the summer.
It may be the young men who SOW the wild oats
but it is usually the older ones who harvest them.
