One point emphasized was that

economic Justification for the em
bargo on gold, and the consequent
abandonment of the gold stand

the action can only be voluntary,
and not compulsory, as was the
case In Great Britain.
LONDON, April 19. (AP)
Restoration of the embargo on
gold exports from , the United
States occasioned another sharp

Wheat crops of Kansas and Ok

sand storms which darkened the
sky and blocked highways, were
damaged further by new drifting
of the soil. Scattered rainfall later

Senator Spaulding spoke brief

the sales tax plan.
He also touched upon legisla
