it earns in foreign countries.
The Government has been set.
ting accounts by selling gold to
foreign creditors. It is this
drain from United States gold
stocks that weakens the dollar.
Devaluation looks at first
glance like the fastest, surest
way to cure the dollar. Con-
gresS could discourage foreign
ers from buying gold by enact
ing a law to raise the Official
price of gold from the present
$35 an ounnce to, for example.
$40. This would reduce the
value of the dollar in relation
to gold by about IA per cent.
Or Congress could simply
stop all sales of gold. This &C
ton would be an extreme form
of devaluation. 1t would. in eff
feet, declare that the dollar had
no value in relation to gold.
Fear Consequences
Democratic and Republican
leaders are dead set against de-
valuation. They fear disastrous
consequences like these:
/. Devaluation would cause
extreme imitation of prices in
the United States, since It
would by definition reduce the
buying power of the dollar.
2. Devaluation would for a
short time increase United
States exports, because British
pounds and other foreign cur
rericies would be worth more
in relation to the dollar. But
other countries soon would de-
fend their export markets by
devaluation of their currencies
The devaluation race would un-
dermine standards of value,
creating chaos in world trade
3. The United States would
lose its Al credit rating by
lowering the value of foreign
dollar holdings and thus, in
effect, welshing on its debts.
Foreigners would be reluctant
to deal with the United States.
4. Nations that hold dollars
as reserves to- back up their
currencies would find that their
money had lost value. Their
economic strength would be
weakened. and they would lose
capacity to maintain their de-
lenses.
5. The world might seek an
other currency to substitute for
the dollar as a standard of
value. The United States mieht
lose its economic leadership
perhaps to Russia 81.
Fear of Devaluati0n
Fear that the United States
will try devaluation is a basic
cause of nervousness about the
dollars soundness. Some credi-
tors have been buying gold to
beat devaluation, because they
doubt that the United States
will act to cure the real causes
of the gold drain.
Government authorities en-
phatically deny recurrent ru-
morS that our allies have agreed
to help the United States stem
the outflow of gold by slowing
down or suspending their nor
NAL purchases of gold. Such
agreements would amount to
a mild and temporary form of
devaluation by consent of our
foreign creditors.
Since imports count as debts
in the balance of payments,

T hi S recommendation was made be-
cause the girls were getting dresses with
belts, and coast with hoods, which made
scarfs and separate belts unnecessary.
T h e second distribution of clothing
usually comprises one-third of the orr

the needs of the individual children
This program is designed to assist
mothers to care better for their newborn
infants, and to emphasize the need of
proper protection of the newborn child.
Sine July, over 5000 layettes have
been issued by the hospitals and elm
les on the reservation. All Navajo mo-
theirs are eligible provided that h e y
have their babies in the hospital on the
reservation, or if their babies are born
outside of the hospital, that they be ex-
amined within the 30-day period after
the birth of the baby This is one of the
simplest and m o ST effective policies,
and most of the Navajo mothers have
adhered to this policy. This program
has been one of the most wonderful
things for the needy Navajos through
out the reservation. T h ey appreciate

propriate forms provided by the State

forwarded to the State office at the end
of each month. In fiscal year 1859, the

modities on the Navajo Reservation un-
der the supervision of the Arizona State

when they come from the State to the
railheads in Gallup and Flagstaff. This
program began on January I, 1889, and
since then over $4,000 people have been
given assistance through the Surplus
Commodities Program.
The Navajo School Clothing Program
provides clothing for e d y Navajo
children in the various schools (NIis
sion. BIA. or Public) on and off the
reservation. For the fiscal year 1859,
S55O,000 was appropriated by h
Council. This is mainly to serve the
10000 Navajo children in school this
year.
In January. the Tribal Council made
a supplemental appropriation of $780,

mittee which, after careful study of the
program, felt that additional f u n d
would be needed to adequately carry it

The Navajo Tribe has a contract with
Henry Hillson & Company of Albu
querque New Mexico, to furnish the
clothing for its clothing program. This
is tremendous program in view of
the fact that the children in school each
receive about $1,000 worth of clothing,
which includes about 50 or 90 units or
18 items of clothing. Ordinarily. 50 or
60 units would exceed far more than
$1,000 if it were to be bought i'll a re
