Psalm 51:10. THROUGH THE AGKS Probably the one thing that can be said alxnit the govern ment's new gold policy, without fear of contradiction, is that the ordinary man simply does not understand what it is all about. We have suffered, perhaps from too many experts;, For months now the pundits have been showering us with good advise on money, and the more we have read of it, ,ttye more confused we have grown. The government finally has acted definitely and decisively and .the result seems to be encouraging to business; but as for understanding precisely how and why the policy is going to affect our liveswell, most of us might as well try1 io assimilate the more recondite phases of the Einstein theory. About all we can do just now, in default of getting this un derstanding, is to meditate on the strange function that .this yellow metal has exercised throughout history, and or ,the odd quality of imperishability which it possesses. ;'. ". Of tho $3,500,000,000 In Bold which tho Rovernmont Is about to Impound, It Is extremely probable thnt a fair percentnKO ha conic clown through tho ages from those fobul oils' old hoards of long ago. Gold doesn't wear out find It does not, to any gront extent, go permanently out of circulation. Tho Federal Reserve vaults today unquestionably hold somo of the gold of the Pharaohs of Egypt, aomo of the gold with which Durlm of Porsla financed' hie Greek ' invasions," some of the gold of Cnesars, somo of the gold that Cortoz and Plzarro brought back from tho new world, somo from the Sao-' ramento of '49 ond somo from tho Klondike a strnngo and romantic mixture, with odds and ends of all tho world's history clustered nbout St.' And all this, of course, la Just another way of saying that gold has been the! catalytio agent In most of tho events that have marked the unfolding, of civilization. What we ore doing today, tills opening of the door to the' future which wo call the New Deal, Is pivoting on gold, and the bullion In our vaults has Influenced history In tho past, times without number. It may bo that wo simply aro doing tho same old thing In a slightly new way, or It may be that wo at last are beginning to get out from undor the age-old tyranny of this yellow metal. In either case, the identical metal which swayed history generations ago Is exerting" Its influence once more. For tho Uncage of our gold Is tho oldest llncago in civilization. leased wire advances to the Observer from Portland.
