Editor. The Times: Why need
we, In the least, grumble or
groan at our growing war cost?
Let us better buckle-down and
pay willingly, now, and in q big
way! Dividends are far better
than regrets. The following is
a thought that might bolster our
desire to contribute unstinting-
ly to the "V-for-Vietory cause"
Their Day" was not now,
believe. Regardless of the
prodigious cost that we are
having to pay and to suffer,
friend and foe alike. for today's
conflict, 1t may be, In a measure,
a blessing in disguise notwith-
standing. Here, / am thinking
in terms of the so-called yellow
PERIL This war may do away
with such a devastating pros
pect; least wise, it is likely to
forestall it for a couple hundred,
or so, years to come. 1t might
even obliterate this "Bogey,"
In which case, the price we are
having to pay, for this present
holocaust, would be none too
great at any cost.
We are now entered in war,
not of our own choosing, in order
to gain world political pre-
eminence. And may God grant
that once the victory is won
that we will prove to be a Just
and worthy benefactor. Dicta-
tors and kings have fallen, and
shall continue so to do, for their
lack of benevolence. If we
should not administer to the
peace of the world with wis
dom another war will have been
fought in vain, But we feel,
and know, that if any nation
on the earth can fairly die
tate, advocate, and subsequently
direct an equitable world peace
that nation is the United States
of America.
Having this Astounding faith
let US fight and give till it hurts
and then having won the victory
let us as valiantly fight to per-
petuate the ideals for which we
fought. GLENN KICKER.

HOROSCOPE
SUNDAY, MARCH I

Adverse planetary aspects are
active after the early morning
hours today. The stars frown
upon the aged and incline per-
sons OF all ages To see the dark
side OF life.
Business Affairs: While the
outlook for March In the lines
OF trade and manufacturing Is
good. there may continue TO be
much needless concern or APP
prehension regarding the effects
OF the war upon normal busi-
ness. The stars seem to presage
a gradual adjustment to chang
ing economic conditions, and
while there must be certain sac
rifices and heavy taxation the
general situation will be quite
comfortable.
National Issues: economy
now will be studied as a sci
ence in which persons OF every
walk OF life should be interested.
Through present limitations due
to war will be learned important
lessons In conservation and In
the prevention of waste, which
will be appalling in many chan
nsls connected with supplies or
accommodations for army and
navy.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
have the sugury OF a year OF
average good luck. Anxiety con-
neeted with relatives in the war
is forecast.
Children born on this day
probably will find obstacles in
the way of their progress
through life, but they should be
talented and able to overcome
all difficulties.

GOLD IN VAULTS
HAS NO VALUE

Editor, The Times: l would
like to call attention to the
hoard of gold which we have
stored in the Kentucky hills in
wonderful vaults, which might
be used as air raid shelters. This
gold has absolutely no value
when stored away in these won
derful vaults.
There was a time when gold
itself was the main form of cur
rency. When governments began
10 issue paper currency a fiction
was invented that gold was the
basis of this currency. This was
entirely a fiction, for the only
element behind a nations cur
rency. or other credit issues
such as bonds or debentures-
the right to tax 1.-THE govern
mental prerogative TO take from
people subject to its jurisdiction,
percentage of their wealth
which can be used TO support or
redeem the various forms Of
credit which is issued
This becomes apparent when
ever you see the right to tax
impaired. II makes no difference
what amount OF gold or other
security was held at the time
the currency or other credit was
issued. With the loss of power
to tax, all government currency
or credit is just so many pieces
Of paper which may have a value
as eurios but as nothing else.
The often referred-tO German in
f1stion had no reference TO any
gold standard. II was simply
the issuance of currency in such
volume that the government
power 10 tax was vastly over
reached, hence the currency had
no value.
When you have thought this
over, should you recover from
the shock, suggest TO congress
that they initiate a resolution
calling on the chemists in the
bureau OF standards in the de-
partment of mines. the chemical
experts in our great corporations
and in our universities, to ex-
pertinent and ascertain what use
can be made Of this immense
stock OF rare and beautiful
metal Perhaps We may devise
some use for it that viii benefit
mankind. Il certainly mas no

Should the enemy climax his
