Loree; of VPail Street, jumped up in meeting, waved a $ 20 bill and declared that the ending of the gold standard was a heinous violation of trust, lie started a lot of people thinking along lines he hadn't intended. His point, of course, was simple enough. lie had in his hand a pibiU., When it. went into circulation it was worth ?20 in gold; today jt is not; hence the government has done some thing horrible. ., . ., , ,. . ,r . , But the spectacle of this Wall streel man beating his breast is.othihg less than grotesque when you put it up against its ' proper background,, , Part of that background is the farm belt. In the farm belt there are a lot of .farmers jumping up in meeting and waving bits of paper mortgages, which were 6ijtricted when it took one bushel of wheat to buy a dollar and which must be paid when it takes two bushels to buy a dollar , . . , , ' , The farmers have been the victims of a betrayal quite as cruel as that which harrows tlie soul of Mr. Loree--ueller, rjerhaps, for no one supposes that Mr. Loree is in danger j of losing his home and his bread and butter. Furthermore, the betrayal that came to them came while the dollar was firmly, anchored to gold. They were .undone by , "sound money" money which for all its soundness, was worth one thing when they borrowed it and another when they had to pay it back.. Their demands for relief are just as valid as . Mr. Loree s more, so, perhaps, for .'our departure from gold has not brought the well-fed Mr. Loree into danger of hunger and tjhe'lpss of everything he owns.. And that isn't all there is to this background, either. This js hardly the psychological moment for a Wall street man to get up on his hind legs and talk about "a violation of trust." There are a good many Americans today who possess beauti ful pieces of paper, for which they paid Wall street good money. Wall street pledged its faith that these bits of paper pmld be redeemed at the price that was paid for them, and that they would bear interest steadily until the moment of redemption carrte. But today you can buy lots of those pieces of paper for a nickel on the dollar. There are many more 'that aren'i; worth even that. , If we are going to wave pieces of paper and yqll about )jetrayals, let's start with farm mortgages and Wall street bonds. After all, Mr. Loree's ?20 bill will still buy quite a 'few .'groceries. . . leaves Hospital .

Dr Bprague wrote to President Roosevelt that un restrained Inflation and a breakdown of governmental credit threaten as a result or the present monetary procedure. (The price of domestic gold was fiiced today at $33.76 an ounce, un changed from yesterday, with the dol lar. slumping again, carrying the world gold price upward from an opening of $34.41. ' . r Officials -expressed no perturbation at Bprague 'a dire predictions.. From Warm Springs came word that Mr. Roosevelt was resolved to go ahead with his plan for Increasing commod ity prices by forcing the price of gold upward through purchases at home and abroad. In his letter. Sprague called atten tion to the fact that some issues of government bonds had slipped below par. Joining this to the fact that the government must borrow huge sums within the next year or so, he pre dicted that if the present trend con tinues. Investors will be unwilling to put their money in government bonds. - The result, he said., would be that the administration would be forced to meet Its obligations with: new is sues of paper money.
