Architecture Certificates
Awarded by'7 rude Board
Goinord, City Of Flint Coptoin,
BIosts Soviet Conduct in Talk

The United States Secret Service
last night carried its know your
money" campaign to the Washing
ton Board Of Trade at the board S
meeting at the Mayflower Hotel.
At the same time the owners and
architects of 20 business, church,
school and residential structures
were presented certificates for meri-
torious design in architecture.
The more than l 900 members were
also enthralled with a first-hand
saga of the historic voyage of the
City Of Flint as related by Capt.
j. A. Gainard, dour New England
master of the vessel. The shin
brought some victims of the Athena
disaster to safety and then was
captured by German pocket
battleship on its way back to
Europe.
They roared with applause as
Capt. Gainard condemned the Rus
sian government in its treatment of
his ship and crew in Murmansk
after its capture by the German
Slip OeuCSCQlan0.
I'm opposed to it morally and
physically" he declared firmly,
"and I'm opposed to anybody who
is in favor of it. They did every
thing they could to show contempt
for the United States"
Praise for Germans.
On the other hand, the Flint
master had only the warmest praise
for the conduct of the Germans who
took over the ship. He described the
German officer detailed to the YES
sci with the prize crew as a sailor,
officer and gentleman.
He likewise had the highest praise
for the treatment afforded his ship
and men by the Norwegian govern
ment after the City of Flint left
Murmansk. The Norwegian Min
ister was one of the honor guests
at the meeting.
Frank ]. Wilson, chief of the
Secret Service, gave brief introduce
tion to a film produced by the service
as part of its educational program
against the counterfeiter and the
forger.
Mr.. Wilson explained he hoped
the campaign would cut down the
market for the counterfeiter by max
Ing him more easily discovered. He
offered to conduct the program for
the benefit of District clerks and
cashiers free of charge and have
his men explain exhibits.
The counterfeiters' market has
been about 81, ,000, 900 year or more
in the country, he said.
Enmeshes Youths.
Since many first offenders are
youths, Mr.. Wilson said, one of the
effects Of the campaign, If the mar
ket is reduced, may keep youths from
starting on q criminal career. Sec
ondly, he said, 1t should reduce ex-
pense of prison maintenance.
During the next three months 1t
Is planned to show the picture to
some 100000 students throughout
the country and to some 100000
retail dealers, clerks, cashiers,
bankers and others within the year,
he said. The program will include
booklets, newspaper and magazine
publicity radio broadcasts and other
features, he added. The movie fol-
lowed his address.
Earlier Harry Blackstone, magi-
clan, amused the crowd by taking
Mr.. Wilson's watch away from him
without his knowing 1t.

ROOSEVELT DRAWS new BOUNDARY
between PEOPLE AND 0VERL ORDS

I find their job of making a fight an
incredibly difficult one. Attacks upon
the administration can come danger
ously close to being unpatriotic or
worse, trivial
The president then launched into
one Of the best political speeches of
his career. In the warm, informal
manner of which he is master he told
the delegates why he had agreed to
submerge personal inclination to ma
tional welfare and what will impel
him to accept if the people of the ma
ton draft him.
Sounding like the fighting New Deal
President of 1886, he called for "a war
against poverty and suffering and i'll
health and insecurity in which all
classes are joining in the interests of
a sound and enduring democracy"
The offensives of the New Deal in
this war were recited. The president
ended with a sneer at the efficiency
of the bankers and industrial interests
of the republican party and the "hope-
less chaos" they left in 1888
The delegates sat silent in the great
hall set in the middle of Chicago's
considerable slums. A few minutes

Amy doubts that President Roose-
welt is the master politician of the age
vanished in the smoke-filled recesses
of the packed stadium here July IS.
After purging the democratic party
of its professional porkfed politicians,
after naming his own candidate for
vice president, after installing the
New Deal in secure position. and
after disposing of the third term tradi-
ton, the president wrapped up the
republican party in neat little bum
die.
This feat was accomplished in a
radio speech which came as a color
full and dramatic climax to conven-
ton that was frequently anti-clima-
teal and dull. During the coming
months, the president told the conven-
ton:
II shall not have the time or the
inclination to engage in purely polit-
icaI debate. But / shall never be
loathe to call the attention of the ma
ton to deliberate or unwilling falsi-
fications of fact which are sometimes
made by political candidates"
With the campaign pitched upon
that level, republicans are going to

COST OF The LAST
WAR TO The u. S.

1t is estimated that the money which
the United States spent on the last
war could have done all of the fol-
lowing:
Wiped out the farm mortgage debt.
Electrified 100000 homes.
Provided farms for all tenant fam
lilies.
Put plumbing In 5,75O,0OO farm
homes.
Doubled existing endowments for
education.
Built four schools at s250,000 each
for every county.
Put an airport in every county.
Financed a billion dollar program
to control erosion and flood
Built a model hospital in every
county.
Afforded billion dollar housing
program.
These figures on the cost Of the
war do not include the many postwar
costs of readjustment, pensions, and
private losses which would swell the
total considerably more.

the race for a third term and when
they gave him Secretary of Agricul

The situation for them is not very

AN OPEN
LETTER
Senator B. K. Wheeler,
Washington, D. C.

Washington, D. c..
Dear Senator Wheeler,
We, the members of Farmers Uniol
Local No. 314, have for the past sever
|, months made a special study of mon
ley. Some very definite conclusions
have been reached.
Supplying the nation with a SOUND
free from interest bearing medium Of
Exchange is one of the prime functions
of government.
We have come to understand that
the provision of the u. S. Constitution
that Congress shall have power to
coin money and regulate the value
thereof" is not now being observed
The value of money is determined
much by the volume of money that is
in circulation. Since more than 900
of our money consists, not of currency
and coin, but of bank checks based
on bank credit, we have learned that
the international bankers, in control
of our Federal Reserve Banks, control
the volume of money and therefore
also regulate the value thereof.
The deliberate decision of a group
of fifty bankers at meeting unknown
to congress, on May IS, 1920 to with
draw from circulation billions of dol
lars, resulted in the ruin of millions
of farmers and others. Similar action
was taken by the leading bankers in
1929 and in 1887.
Since we can no longer by any
means receive gold upon demand for
our currency, we understand that gold
has nothing to do with our present
money A ten dollar bill has value as
medium of exchange even though
not a single dollars worth of gold
can be demanded by it. Its value is
due to the authorized government in
scription upon it, and to its protection
against counterfeiting.
A proper amount of money, bear
ing certain proportion to the amount
of industry that is required to supply
all the people of the nation with the
necessities and comforts of life, will
permit the producer to receive a par
ity price for an amount equal to what
can be consumed. Industry, supplied
with this required amount of medium
of exchange, will be able to give en-
ployment to every willing able bodied
man as long as there are people in
need of the products of labor.
We have drawn our conclusions
from the writings of such well recog- !
nized authorities as Prof Irving Fish
err, Hon. Robert L. Owen, Robert H.
Hon. Charles G. Binderup
and others.
