Fiqht Over Gold Seen
# President Seeks
To Extend Plan
Republican Leaders
Also Will Oppose
Sterilization Fund
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt may en-
counter strong Republican and
some Democratic opposition in
Congress If he asks for extern
sion of the authority he has had
for more than 10 years to cut
the gold content of the dollar and
to keep the Treasury's $2,OOO,-
100000 stabilization fund in op-
Grafton.
Those powers expire June 80 and
unless Congress acts before then the
content of the dollar will be frozen
at Is 5-21 grains of gold nine-tenths
fine, and the money in the stabiliza-
ton account automatically will go
into the Treasurys general fund.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, author of the amend
ment by which the President cut the
dollars gold content to about SO
per cent Of its former weight (25.8
grains) to raise prices in the depres-
sion period of 1884, told reporters
he believed this authority, as we'll As
the sterilization fund, ought to be
continued.
Faces Opposition.
But his colleague, Senator Moore.
Republican, of Oklahoma, served
notice that any such proposal was
likely to face stiff Republican oppo-
sition. He predicted a contest on
the issue would show whether Con-
gress is going to reclaim the powers
that never should have been dele
gated to the executive"
Some Democrats said privately
they would vote against continuing
the devaluation authority, but Sen
ator Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina declared that he believed
it didn't make much difference
whether the power was extended or
not.
"Our currency is tied to gold, but
only remotely" he commented.
Under existing law the President
still could cut the dollars gold con-
tent an additional per cent below
the weight which prevailed before
1884, but Senator Thomas said he
doubted that any such action was
contemplated. The President had
been authorized to make a reduction
of SO per cent, but actually cut the
content only Al per cent.
Still Shows Profit.
Mr.. Roosevelt told Congress in
194l, when the law was extended for
two years, that during a war was
no time for the United States to
surrender any of its instruments for
dealing promptly with international
economic and monetary problems.
The administration was expected
to fight for continuation of the sta
bilization fund, which was created
out of the bookkeeping profits made
by the Treasury through the orig
tnal dollar devaluation.
This fund has been used largely
to give aid to China and in pro-
viding good neighbor" loans to
Latin American countries. Treas
ury officials said the fund, which
showed profit of $25,000, 900 on
operations two years ago, still re-
tanned a profit margin.

Russia Will Accept Sword
From George VI Gratefully

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-The sword of
honor that King George VI plans to
present to the city of Stalingrad will
be accepted with gratitude, President
Michael Kalinin of Russia said
today.
His answer to King Georges offer
was made public by the Soviet radio

saying the blade would be received
as "a symbol of comradeship in
arms between the peoples of Great
Britain and the Soviet Union"
The most recent swords OF honor
forged in England were in memory
of great heroes-Jellico, Beatty and
