terable determination TO prose-
cute the war against Germany

There. is absolutely no thought
OF a negotiated peace in Britain,

slavery of the human race.
 Hitler is utterly inconsistent Ill his severe denunciations of the Gold Standard and of the money and credit system which has been carried on in national and inter- national trade for thousands of years. As proof of this, he has seized all the gold he could find in the nations he has conquered, as he considers gold the most val uable prize to be had in the world. This is additional proof of the value of gold and the permanent stability of the Gold Standard.
 Government Controls Gold
 Our Government has exercised extensive control over the gold mining industry in many ways.
 It has enacted the Gold Prohibl- tion Law giving itself entire con- trol and ownership of all gold in the country.
 It has decreed that gold is the one and only standard of value, and that the gold it owns is the back ing and foundation of all our banks. insurance and all other in- stitutions, and that our entire fin ancial and credit structure rests ab- solutely on it. Also that as future contingencies during or after the war may cause much of our gold to leave our country a heavy ob- ligation rests on our Government, which it has actually and by im- plication assumed to maintain and stimulate our production of gold.
 Increased costs of gold produc- ton cannot be passed on to the consumer, as is the case in other industries, as the Government is the only customer and by law takes the whole output of the mines and at its own price.
 Danger of Increased Costs
 Reduction in gold production costs results in making workable and profitable large tonnages of ore of too low grade to be other wise commercially valuable. This results in an increased output Conversely, an increase in costs of gold production will convert large tonnages of pay ore into waste rock. The results will be decrease in gold production and an economic loss of large proportions to our country.
 History shows that business and economic conditions languish when the monetary gold stocks of the world have become inadequate to carry the currency and credit bur- dens imposed on them Also that panics and depressions in the past have been tempered and brought to an end by large increases m gold production. .
 Various countries in the world have in the past taken steps 10 aid their gold mining industries and always with great benefits to their financial and economic sta tus. Our country has done the same in various ways, and with very beneficial results.
 Government should Aid Production
 As the future of our country is beset with hazards because of the war, we must proceed promptly ito put our house in order. ..af
