zens in 1894 who were required
by a laW TO turn in al gold and
gold coins and receive ~ In paper
money for each ounce turned IN,
or for each $40 gold piece. Shortly
thereafter, when the gold was in
the Treasury it was advanced in
value to $35 an ounce. But we can
stop further devaluation by re-
turning to the redeemable gold
coin standard of money now. For
tu%nately we have in the Treasury
23.6 billions of dollars of gold
based upon $35 an ounce. Our Fed
eral Reserve Notes have over 500
gold backing which is plenty to
support redeemable gold money:
it is now required to be ESQ and
a proposed bill may make it high
er, say 400. 1t has been as low as
30% in the 1920's when gold was
freely exchanged for our paper
money on demand.
The teacher of history may teach
the truth in regard to She expe-
rience that not once in the trou-
bled history of the world has paper
succeeded as q substitute for
money of intrinsic value. The
teacher may recount the expert
ences under Roman Emperors in
calling i'm the money and issuing
lighter coins stamped the same
value. or Of debasing the coins by
adding more base metal. The
teacher may tell of the Mississippi
Bubble sponsored by John Law
in 1920 in France; Of monetary
quacks in France before and dur
ing the French Revolution; OF tho
apparently reasonable paper
money inf1atiof8 based upon the
value Of the land seized from the
Church and from the nobility dur
ing the Revolution but how, like
all paper money schemes it re-
suited in chaos and eventual re-
pudiation. In American history
they may tell about the brave
stand against paper money by
Andrew Jackson, who pointed out
that II defrauded the common
man. They may tell of Sherman's
courageous words IN the 1908,
"the way to resume is to resume"
They may note that in recent
years the first moves OF Mussoiini,
Hitler and Lenin were to prohibit
the use of gold and gold coins by
citizens. They may show the close
connection between human free
dom and gold redeemabfe money
They may note Lenin's remark
that the best way tn tale ever a
country IS to encourage printing
press rloney in it first These and
other studies caused me to write
the following lines.
PAPER MONEY
BEST tool Of tyrants," Eenin said.
"Debauch their money. then step IN
| Combinations in the head
Disrupt their ways, make 1t a sin
to bargain free. When Terror rules
| Our Agents rise. controls those fools"
voltaire had said in sixty-nine.
Relax!
Can ruin come to fertile France
For sixty years then ruled by
Quacks?"
Like those today who'd take the
chance
He little knew what they were dong
He little knew the trouble brewing.

LOOK IN an arlLnfneLlc DOCK uSeu
before World War / and you'll find
the tables of measures of weight,
of capacity and of distance are as
valid now as they were 40 years
ago. The pound avoirdupois is still
16 ounces; the gallon contains 4
quarts; the yard is still SO inches,
The Bureau of Standards at Wash
ington has faithfully preserved the
necessary measures for us to use.
But the arithmetic book OF 40
years ago also had a table entitled
Measures of Value" which has
been sadly distorted by political
pressures. There n may read
'the unit of value is the dollar.
It's standard weight In gold is 25.8
grains" II also says that $4.8665 in
American money is the value of an
English sovereign; that the value
of the French franc is $.l93 and
that of the German mark is S.2385.
The arithmetic book concludes
that since all these currencies are
valued in gold it is "a simple and
interesting calculation for the stu
dent to determine the exchange
value of the English sovereign in
French francs and so on"
Public faith in the arithmetic
books statement that the dollar
was 25.8 grains of gold rested upon
the long experience Of Americans
for 40 years that they could al
ways redeem their money on de-
mand in that ratio. Our only ex-
perience to the contrary in 40
years was during the Civil War,
when the Confederate paper
money became worthless, and the
Greenbacks were subjected to a
temporary discount. After the
Civil War, the majority 81 the
Greenbacks were called in, and all
u. S. money was made redeemable
in gold or silver.
When the United States Govern
ment deliberately abandoned the
gold standard in 1884 and officially
repudiated its solemn pledge to re-
deem its bonds and paper with
gold, little attention was paid to
the protests against this arbitrary
action. We'd had honest money re-
deemable in gold on demand for
so long we'd forgotten there could
be any other kind in free Ameri-
ca. In our school books we'd
learned Honesty is the best poll
icy" Now Is years later the evil
consequences of this dishonorable
act are beginning to make them
selves felt. The common citizen is
alarmed at the steady expansion
of bureaucracy and militarism, He
notes more and more deductions
from his pay check to defray the
costs of government. The school,
teacher, above all persons, should
be able to show us the plain truth.
If they do not, they win find
their moderate salaries deteriorat-
ing in purchasing power faster
every year and the pension plans
by which our citizens have tried
to protect the schoolteachers,
whom we learn to honor from
childhood, will be paid eventually
in money of very little value to
them. A bill H. R. 5031. has been
introduced in Congress by the
Hon. Howard Buffet of Nebraska
which would fix the value of the
dollar at its present official rate
sc $35 an ounce of gold. We can
not rectify the wrong done to citl-

the development of capable and
competent workers among Negro
people is one of the primary
problems facing our nation"
THE advocacy of a Fair En-
ployment Practice Commission ae-
centuates the need for an employ
err and an employee educational
program, the youthful College
President declared "A legal en-
actment of a Fair Employment

be accompanied by program de-
veloping readiness of attitude a
mong employers, Similarly, it
should be clearly understood that
in a democracy no legislative act
can protect inefficiency among
individuals. The non-passage of

makes an educational program
even more mandatory"
President Gray praised the Ur-
ban League for its work in the
field of employment and voca-
