CAUTION IS URGED ON
 DISCHARGES

WASHINGTON, Apr. 7.-lAP) Major General Lewis B. Her shey, selective service director, said, The army and navy should be slowly demobilized after the war in order that the United States voice at the peace table be backed by military strength.
 He asked for deliberate demob- ilization, in order that domestic unemployment be held down and also for international reasons.
 He said: Our voice in the es- tablishment of peace, will be heard only as backed by military strength"
 Hershey concluded:
 Generalization must be based on the ability of the community to absorb the men thus if we are wise"
 He said; "Service men will be released as near their homes as practical, and the numbers dis charged in any one area at any one time would be limited.

 Up to the beginning of the war praesti-s cally all the gold of the world Was fflloss- ing to Fort Knox with the us governs ment almost the only purchaser aud gold had all but disappeared" as med ium of world exchange. Then came the federal order putting an end to gold pro- duction in Canada and the hoarded gold at Fort Knox, the greatest accumulation in all history, abruptly ceased to grow except for small shipments from over- seas.
