When we consider housing
conditions and the broken

tenants, why not use our busi-
ness intuition? Organize our

Congress has insisted on
abolishing the CCC. This is
one of the most useful and
helpful agencies of the New
Deal. The CCC has done an ex-
cellent Job Of clearing the
streets, highways, and by-ways
Of the unemployed youth. It
has taught them to work, be
independest, and to recognize
and assume responsibility. But
these youngster are not old
enough to vote, in contrast to
the WPA for which appropria-
tons have been made. Well,
this is an election year.

There is some talk in Con-
gress Of bringing back the gold
certificate to replace the pres
ent greenback. If SO, our dollar
will be worth more but Guy
less. This government went of
the gold standard to balance
with foreign exchange. The
war has rendered foreign ex-
change almost useless. The
LeaSe-Lend Bill has about
fixed the standard.
