Now the Russian Gold, Too

Before the latest and active phase of World War
caused attention to be rveted military events there
fact that all the worlds gold drifting this country
This has been obscured by the clash and of the Rus
sian campaign, but it is still going
In Iact II is gong on with new twist because Russia
was one of the few countries which still had gold in guam
tty Now Russia is turning its gold to the United
States in exchange for desperately needed supplies
The monetary gold stocks of the United States stood at
at the end of August increase of
than 100000 in that month alone The tendency for
the United States to get all continues without interruption
Renewed assurances come from Germany that one OF
that country aims is to abolish entirely the gold basis for
money That is always placed high moral plane with
mouthngs about delivering the world from the domination
OF gold but its sincerity is about par with other Naz
declarations since they have failed TO loot each
conquered country of all the gold in sight There
was enough in sight however having gold the Nazs
are against it.
Nevertheless, il must not be forgotten that wherever
Nazi bayonets dominate there the Naz mark also DOM
mates Bulgaria and Serbia which had chung to a gold
basis for their have just been compelled to abandon
1t and base their currency the Rechsmark. Croatia
and Yugosavia recently added to the new finan
cia order Of the Reichsmark, which means the Ger
mans acquire assets in those countries at their
price, since the relationship between their currences
and the paper mark of Germany set by fiat and
maintained by the bayonet.
This strongly suggests that the United States must do
something with its gold than sit it. Once again
suggest that thing do is to distribute part of the
gold obviously not needed for conceivable monetary
among friendly countries whose trade wish to increase
and link with Instead of loans credits when
we wish to buy manganese, tin or chromium build
Pan-American road is it not worthwhile to consider the
possible effect of swapping hard gold which is
of our own needs, for commodities which do need?
This would enable friendly countries to adjust their
currencies to that of the United States and help to
create dollar area of the world which could stand
against the phony mark area Then when the bayonets
longer support the mark there will be something stable
in the world to take its place.

SCOFF AT IDEA
ARMY WILL BE REDUCED

High army officers scott pri-
vately at suggestions that our
military forces be reduced so
that we can concentrate our
energy upon reinforcing Great
Britain, Russia and China. The
Idea has been advanced by the
administration group. which be-
lieves that too much of our
planning and production has
been devoted TO national de-
Tense"
The present size OF the army
is listed AT about 100000 The
layman inclines to think of that
as the number OF trained men
who can be modified for COM
bat purposes at home and over
seas. Actually, the fighting
force amounts to about one
third Of that figure. The Air
corps has 100000 men. OF whom
only one-fifth are actual flyers.
Garrisoning Atlantic. Pacific,
Caribbean and Alaskan bases
eventually will require another
100000 or more. At least $50,
600 will be needed TO train new
selectees and to garrison home
forts. These figures are given
as approximations because OF the
secrecy with which the army
wells its present and expanding
strength But they provide a
general picture OF the organiza-
ton.
The total number Of divisions
under training for combat now
amounts only TO SO. Of which so
are infantry, four are armored,
and two cavalry. Since the per-
sonnet OF each division averages
$4,000 men. We have only about

DUKE WILL RECEIVE
NO RECEPTION

British officials here deny II
automatically. but London has
asked them to forego ostentation
during the present visit to Wash
ington Of the Duke and Duchess
OF Windsor. He will not receive
the reception accorded him when
he came TO the American capital
as the charming Prince OF Wales.
The Duke, II is pointed out,
has been permitted to take no
part in his empires war. British
feeling here and abroad appears
TO be that he let his nation
down in its greatest crisis. The
Dukes friends, on the other
hand, contend that his abdica-
ton was forced because the
Baldwin group resented his
democratic theories and man
ners. London has no desire 10
see that issue revived now

British suspect that 1t would

HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 80

After the morning hours bene-
fic aspects prevail today. 1t is
not an suspicious date for be-
ginnings or for pushing i'm
portant projects, but there il
promise of good fortune for per-
sons who direct human endea-
vors. Bankers should be lucky
under this sway.
Heart and Home: Women OF
all ages should be satisfied with
what appears to be nearest in
the line of duty. Even though
their eyes may be upon the stars
as their ambitions awaken. they
should be willing accept
cheerfully the necessity to make
sacrifices Of personal hopes for
the good of the nation. Nursing
should be willing to accept
for there may be much illness
through the coming winter. Hos
pitfalls will require experts in
surgical cases.
Business Affairs: Concerns
large and small engaged in
manufacturing will miss impor-
tations Of raw materials, but
substitutes will be devised to fill
wartime needs. Amazing re-
sourcefulness will be demon
strated by American business
men. Merchants will profit amid
numerous necessary stock modi-
fications. November is to prove
how well lessons drawn from
Europe's experiences have been
learned. Trade and commerce
will be profitable.
National Issues: In the United
States Navy. which is unit
even though il is called s two
ocean Navy. the aviation branch
Is to be famous before the end
OF the year. Advocates OF the
formation of a separate branch
of the service for aviators will
find many reasons to avoid in
reference with naval flyers.
Growth Of the greatest Of all
navies will be rapid through the
next eight weeks.
Persons whose birthdate IL Is
will enjoy a share Of business
prosperity. Employees will win
promotion and men in the de-
Tense service will be fortunate.
Children born on this day
probably will manifest strong
individuality. They should have
fine intellectual powers which
enable them to enjoy success.

PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
WANTS PARK SYSTEM
RENAMPED
by John Hix

Editor, The Times: I want to
commend f. A. Roberts for his
interesting and instructive let
ter to the public in defense of
WpA on park work published in
The Times Sept 23d
The statements made in his
letter, no doubt, are facts based
on long experience in park work
and should interest all who be-
lieve in a square deal
II might be we'll to have an
expression of public opinion IN
regard to certain activities of
the park board.
Surely there are many Of our
citizens who are deeply interest
ed in parks and Fairgrounds
who could, on a moments reflec-
ton, think of a number of ques-
tons to ask our park commits
sioners who would be of public
interest.
Come to think of 1t, why
should Tacoma be the only city
in the west to be pestered with
a Metropolitan park district sys-
tenn, while all other cities oper-
ate and control their own parks
and Fairgrounds as part Of the
city government and are making
a good job of it at less expense
TO the people?
Why should the citizens bear
the extra expense OF separate
maintenance of five commission
ers with their office force when
the work could be combined un-
der city government?
Isn't the city of Tacoma a bit
out of date in clinging TO this
antiquated system which is evi-
IDENTIFY not popular in other
cities? There must be a reason.

Writing in a government pub
LEGATION scheduled for an early
issue. the secretary of the navy
names three great traffic lanes
along which. in his Official opin-
ion, the United states must ward
off sea marauders. The first
obviously is the. Atlantic route
from this country TO the British
Isles. The second extends from
our western ports to Australasia
and the East Indies, whence
originate SO many of our key
materials for national defense
weapons. The third ranges from
the Atlantic seaboard to South
American nations which also are
supplying us with strategic and
critical articles. Knox admits
that this covers a great deal of
territory. The distance from
New York to London Is approx
mately 5000 miles. From San
Francisco TO Batavia is about
1900 miles. The sailing span
from Philadelphia TO Buenos
Aires is 5000 miles.
Knox also will reiterate In
writing his demand for repeal
of the Neutrality act. He al
ways has opposed that law. he
records. and recent events have
strengthened his conviction. In
the past. he notes, freedom of
the seas was only a philosophic
concept. Now he considers 1t
keystone OF our foreign policy

To receive attention m this col

address % writer. Only initials
will BE published when nuested.
Mr.. Fixit; Can YOU give me a
feasible explanation Of the fact
that there ARE more married
women than married men In the
United States NV information
IL derived from an article In a
book by the n. NJ. Rowe Publish
ing Go. of Chicago. According
90 n, there are ze.27.109 mar
ried males over rs years and
2s,750.756 married females over
Is. which II n difference Of 49,
647 more females than males.
J. r. =.
The probable explanation Is
that there are 423.647 male liars.
The statistics no doubt come
from the United States census,
which attempts to list all per-
sons. even hoboes in Jungle
camps. When men drift away
from their families and travel
about the country looking for
work, they are a lot more likely
to call themselves single than
are the women who remain at
home waiting for them to come
back.
Mr.. Fixit: Most men like mill
tary band music hut our radio
stations never play any record
ings of march music. IL there n
federal han on the playing Of
military band recordings?
JAMES o.
There isn't any government
ban but there Ia a circumstan-
tial one. 1t lis the disagreement
OF the radio stations with the
American Society of Composers.
Authors and Publishers, which
controls a vast proportion of the
modern American music. II
happens that John Philip sousa
wrote so much OF the popular
band music that the radio sta
tons have few recordings of
other composers work. He was

Of the deadlock. his band music
seldom gets on the air any more.

The parents should talk to the

The board has entire jurisdiction

erty. II Is the boards problem.
not the principals unless he is
acting at the boards request.
Mr.. Fisit: Could you please
tell me II horses are native 10
America? s.P
1t Is the general belief and
apparently the fact that all
horses and donkeys found wild
on the American continents
come from stock introduced by
the Spanish conquistadores. The
Indians had no beasts OF burden
In North America and those in
South America used the native
llamas
