The Money Picture 1
1
Not since the days when Bry-
an and McKinley fought it out
along the line of 16-to-I has the
money question so swept the
country And it's a good deal
more important now than it was
then Bryan who wanted to try
a new monetary experiment was
only a candidate Franklin
Roosevelt is a President with
unprecedented powers
Recently inflation and defla-
tion gold buying dollar depre-
ciation and all the other phases
of the problem have dwarfed
everything else Each side is
plentifully supplied with experts
Each side has its corps of big
business men and little business
men And the public which
reads the dispatches is in a state
of bewilderment
The way the wind blows was
first shown with the resignation
of Undersecretary of the Trea-
sury Acheson a conservative
and unrelenting hard money
man He was immediately fol-
lowed into retirement by Dr
Oliver Sprague once a financial
advisor to the Bank of England
to whom "soft" money is even
more distasteful Secretary
Woodin who has been torn of
Late between his great devotion
to his chief and his instinctive
belief in conservative financial
policies went away on an inde-
finite leave of absence Into his
place stepped Henry Morgen-
than Junior scion of a famous
financial family who sees eye to
eye with the President on prac-
tically everything
Behind all this is a quiet
scholarly figure and a name
which rarely comes before the
public It is that of George
Frederick Warren an agricultur-
al economist at Cornell Long
ago Dr Warren scoffed at the
idea of trying to reduce the dol-
lar's value and still maintain its
gold content unimpaired He
prophesied many years more of
depression unless the gold stand-
ard was thrown overboard the
dollar revalued It's no secret
that Mr Roosevelt has been dis-
appointed by the slowness- with
which his legislative acts have
stimulated business improve-
ment and he leant a ready ear
to Dr Warren and to Professor
Rogers of Yale whose ideas are
similar A little later commod-
ity prices began to sag precisely
as Dr Warren said they would
Came the Presidential order that
sent the United States into the
world market for gold lowered
dollar value in foreign exchange
and began the long process of
revaluing it
Then the criticism Alfred E
Smith took a crack at what he
termed the "baloney" dollar and
intimated that the country needs
another Cleveland To the Pre-
sident's defense came Republican
Borah as brilliant and erratic a
Senator as the country ever saw
who said that the question was
not one of sound or honest mon-
ey that the gold dollar is the
most dishonest dollar ever creat-
ed That indicates how party
lines have broken—an ex-Demo
cratic presidential candidate
sides against the head of his par-
ty and the best known Republi-
can Senator joins his allies!
Finally the President himself
Still in Foreground

Buy Christmas Seals
Fight Tuberculosis
When you are making out
your list of Christmas gifts
don't forget to include Christmas
Seals They not only help the
unfortunate but they pay for
community health which bene-
fits the giver too
The Christmas Seal this year
strikes a festive note depicting
the Yule log of song and story
as it was dragged toward the
manor house in medieval times
In those days nobody knew the
cause of tuberculosis but we
know the cause today and what
is better how to prevent it
Christmas Seals raise money to
pay the cost of prevention
The double-barred cross on
the Christmas Seal is double-
barrelled too One barrel shoots
a message of cheer for the friend
who gets a letter or package The
other shoots definite aid toward
somebody who is in danger from
tuberculosis
We will be a long time paying
for the depression in terms of
added health hazards Recent
figures show that illness has been
greater among the unemployed
than among the general popula-
tion The danger of tuberculosis
is increased when people are des-
titute Buy Christmas Seals
they fight tuberculosis
spoke at Savannah in defense of
his policies
That's where matters stand at
this writing It can make or
break the recovery program and
make or break the administra-
tion while it's doing it The
max is still to be reached
