done this, practically wrecking his
country in the process
Even citizens of the United States are
somewhat gullible when it comes to
voting and government. Many listen to
and believe the promises made. even
when they are obviously impossible to
carry out.
Worse, we are inclined to be most
gullIble about promises which will be
to the advantage of our segment of So
clety rather than for the benefit of the
nation.
Would the Cubans be any smarter?
Probably not
A highly-placed business man in
Caracas Venezuela told this writer last
summer that some day the guns in the

What Is Gresham's Law
One Of the oldest and most
generally accepted monetary
theories is known as Gresham S
Law. This is the principle that
bad money tends to drive out
good money" This means peo-
pie tend to hoard the good
money that is. the money
they have confidence N ana
tend to pass on the bad money
The term bad money refers to
money which is less valuable

money
Clipping" The Coin
The remarkable validity of
this law is demonstrated in the
extremely interesting example
of what happened to England
money in the period from 1868
to 100. Prior to that time. Eng
lsh coins were of the hammered
variety, without mlled edges.
This made it easy for the edges
of these coins to be often ground
off. Thus, in time, most of the
coins became less valuable.
Around 1868 new fullweight
coins were minted. with milled
or inscribed edges. These coins

years.
Another example was the
great crash Of the 1888 period
when people distrusted bank
deposits and began boarding
cash, and later shifted to hoard
ing gold. This so depleted the
gold reserves of our banking
system that the ensuing bank
crisis resulted in the moratorium
when nearly every bank in the
United States closed for about
two weeks.
Gresham's Law Threat Today?
Gresham Law has been nei-
Their repealed nor nullified. In
view of our much-pubicized loss
of gold, the growing shortage Of
coins, and the impending re-
placement of the Silver Certifi-
Gates tthe remaining currency
bearing a full reserve of the
metal, there is again the real
danger of bad" moeny driving
out the good" money.
If We do suffer any adverse
effects from Gresham's Law
this time, the trouble is likely
to stem from overextension Of
credit. This huge structure Of
debt which we have built is be-
coming harder and harder to
handle. Unless managed proper
ly, it could cause untold hard
ship to the economy. The use Of
credit is an "easy street., but

In 1890, the Silver Purchase

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 -
There is something afoot or

emergency relief in the form
of surplus U. S. farm commodi-
ties.
The project is very hush-hust
and shrouded iE tlghtest secrecy
But the following is definitely

cane aid for Cuba. These back
stage overtures have been made
with the knowledge and ap-
prevail Of puppet dictator Fidel
Castro despite his violent dia-
tribes against accepting h e 2
from "imperialists.'
sThe little-knoWn interdepart-
mental Committee on Princi-
pies for Cuba" headed by Sec
rotary Dean Rusk, is exploring
the possibility of increasing
contacts" with the Castro re-
gime.
"A Central Intelligence Agen-
cy report, submitted to President
Kennedy. states that the five-day
hurricane that ravaged Gu b a
last month inflicted "catastro-
phic" damage on its main crops.
Sugar was slashed by an esti-
mated IL million tons: virtually
all of the wheat crop in Oriente
Province. which produces about
80 per cent Of this grain, was
destroyed; and more than so per
cent Of the rice and tobacco
crops were lost.
GA estimates Cuba's total SUI
gar output this year will be less
than 2.250.000 tons. That is APP
proximately one third of the six
million plus tons averaged be-
tween 1857 and the Communist
takeOver.
It is also more than two mil
lion tons less than last year 5
production. which was one mil
lion tons under the previous
year. Since the Reds have ruled
Cuba. there has been a steady
decline in sugar output. The
same is true of every other i'm
portant export commodity.
Last months massive hurri-
cane destruction compounded the
already high crop losses due to
mismanagement, incompetence
waste and bungling.
Congressional e a ders have
gotten wind of the undercover
move to extend hurricane aid to
Cuba, and are keeping a close
eye on the matter. They are par
tlcularly aroused because of the
bitter battle raging in the Sen
ate over the Presidents multi
billion dollar foreign aid pro
gram.
An aid shcemt for Cuba could
have explosive impact on this
stormy controversy.
CUBAN FLASHES ~ Prior to
the hurricane, Cuba had shipped
several hundred thousand tons OF
sugar to Red China in exchange
for 100000 tons Of rice To
