'"The starter just drew a line in

go over that line. Sometimes he
hit a drum to start us. an some
time he just yelled 'go.' Nothin

Jackpot, still erect despite his

honored link with the past around

Saving Gold in Record Amounts

official rate of exchange would
remain stable, the gold could be
sold abroad and the proceeds con-
verted into more dollars than the
original outlay.
Hoarding Is No Advantage.
In this country, with the dollar
tied to gold. boarding the metal
would not provide any hedge
against imitation, but rather the
opposite, If one could get gold
he would have to pay at least
$35 an ounce for it and presum-
ably he would not get more than
$35 an ounce when he sells it.
Prices probably would have gone
up in the meantime and the
hoarder would lose-unless there
would be decision by Congress
to pay more than $35 an ounce.
The conventional hedge against
imitation in this country is the
purchase of a house or of COM
mon stocks. For the short term
it is the purchase of grain or
'other commodities.
One OF the main exports of the
Union of South Africa is gold.
That country has been trying in
vain to get the United States to
raise its price of gold. Countries
in the International Monetary
Fund have agreed that gold may
be sold for more than $35 an
ounce only if it is for industrial
purposes. South Africa has sold
about 40 per cent of its output
at premium prices with the pro-
viso that it is going into industry.
But there is considerable belief
that a part of this, at least. finds
its way into the gold market for
boarding.

By Froncis P. Douglas

People throughout the world
except those in the United States
apparently - are creating their
Iown Fort Knoxes and boarding
gold as they never boarded
lit before.
1t is symptomatic of fear of
imitation, distrust of the cur
rency of the hoarder's country
and instability generally.
The amount of gold held by in
dividuals is estimated at $11.2
billion. This compares with the
United States monetary gold
stock of $23.25 billion.
The estimate of boarding Is
from Picks World Currency Re.
ports, an authority on the gole
market. Picks estimates that the
largest part of the $11.2 billion
is held privately in France anc
puts the figure at 81 billion. II
estimates the boarding of the rest
of Europe at So billion, with
another $1.8 billion in Africa anG
Asia, and with the rest of the
world accounting for $3.4 billion
Estimate Is Questioned.
One Government expert here
questioned the adequacy of these
estimates and particularly that for
France. which he felt was too
high. The United States price fol-
gold is $35 an ounce. Until
recently, this expert pointed out,
the price of gold in France was
only about S38, which would not
indicate any extraordinary hoard
ing.
But with increased prospects of
initiation in recent months the
French price has climed to more
than $40. Since the country'S
currency is not convertible into
gold, as commodity prices rise
the price of the commodity. gold,
rises also and thus is worth more
in currency.
Gold boarding in France has
been stimulated by depreciation
of the currency in the past. When
Americans first went to France
in large numbers in World War
1, they could obtain about five
francs for the dollar. Now the
rate is $50 francs for a dollar
A hundred dollars put away in
gold in 1917 would yield $4,000
francs now. Because of the in
crease in prices in terms of francs,
it probably would not buy much
more goods than in 1917. but
little could be bought by 500 francs
as a bank deposit in 1915 and
spent today.
No Monetary Gold in U. S.
If Americans want to hoard
gold they have to keep it in other
countries. No monetary gold circ-
ulates in the United States. Gold
may be bought for industrial
purposes and the arts-jewelry
dental work and the
like-but only under license.
Trade balances owed foreign
countries are settled through the
Federal Reserve Bank dealing
with foreign central banks.
Gold may be bought legally in
New York but cannot be held in
this country by an individual.
This is the case of gold in transit
which comes into the country in
the form of a concentrate for
and melting into bars.
There are a number of places
around the world where gold
may be bought by Americans.
Payment is made with funds de-
pesited here to the account of the
seller and the gold is stored with
a bank at the place of purchase.
The purpose would be this:
If prices go up. the price of the
gold also would % IN IF the

Agriculture Is Seen

Congressional Probe

The Agriculture Department
appeared last night to be next on
the list of Government agencies
coming under the searchlight of
Capitol Hill Investigations.
Senate investigators are prepar-
ing a report on two "get-rich-
quick" deals involving Agriculture
Department employees in Missouri,
and Senator Aiken. Republican, of
Vermont. said a full-dress Senate
hearing is probable, the Associated
Press reported.
One of the deals involved leaS-
ing of surplus buildings at Camp
Crowder, Mo-, and subleasing
them to the Agriculture Depart
ment'S Commodity Credit Corp.
at profit of more than 100000.
Investment Pool Reported.
The other involved speculation
in oil and gas rights by an in
vestment pool" of Federal en-
ployes. The rights applied to
land formerly owned by or under
mortgages held by the Agriculture
Department.
Senator Aiken, ranking minority
member of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, said some of the acts
probably mot only were unethi-
col bl1t illooo1
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana. who is directing the
investigation. said that no gen.
eral investigation of the Agricul-
ture Department will be made,
however.
Williams Started Probe.
The investigation was touched
off by Senator Williams, Repub-
lican, of Delaware, who charged
several months ago that the Camp
Crowder leasing involved political
favoritiSm' and that the invest
ment pool activitis were costing
taxpayers several million dollars
annually"
At Camp Crowder, CCC paid
1882, POI for 20 months lease of
grain storage space which had
been leased by a group Of five
men for less than 81 900 a month,
Senator Williams told the Senate.
He identified the five as A. H.
Myers. Kansas City investment
broker and member of the Kansas
City and Chicago boards of trade:
John Stark, Kansas City grain
man; Paul B. Edwards of Joplin;
Dan NJ, Nee of Kansas City, for
mer internal revenue collector, and
Harry Easley of Webb City. Mo-,
former Missouri WPA director.
Tax Case Reported.
Mr.. Myers. according to the SEN
ator, owed $675,334 4. in Federal
taxes for 1926. He added that
Mr.. Nee. who originally assessed
the taxes, now was listed as Mr.
Myers attorney in fighting them.
Senator Williams said nine Agri-i
culture Department employees. most
in the Farm Credit Administra-
ton, formed the gas and oil pool.
He said they are:
w. H. Drosie, st. Louis Farm
Credit administrator: w. R. Fank-
hanel. real estate manager for the
ST. Louis Land Bank: H. w. Snod-
graS and J. L. Barret, Land Bank
