SPRAGUE, President Member of The Associated Presi - The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use' for publication of all news dispatches credited to It or- not otherwise credited in this newspaper. Gold Mining to Halt In ancient times wars were fought, 'as had been remarked here before in another con nection, for gold and slaves because they were .. the only negotiable forms of wealth. - War Production Board has ordered cessa tion of gold mining. Gold shares have always been important factors in the stock market but, though naturally those shares declined, the order caused but a faint ripple in the trend of other stocks. .-"-'' 7:' Gold is not important now. That is, rela tively speaking. The gold buried at Fort Knox retains its value. And fellow wouldn't turn his head away if he saw a big chunk of it lying around, loose. But for the most part. United States money has value because the government says so. It probably would start an argument if we called it "fiat money" for by one definition there is a distinction between that and "credit money." Economics textbooks prior to 1929 branded fiat money an unmitigated evu. But aon i worry. The nature of our present money is not the factor that imperils its value. The significance of the WPB order Is that for the present--and after that, who can say? gold is a wholly unimportant commodity ex cept for its commercial uses. Gold mining has become an impediment to the war effort; it ties up workers and machinery which might better be employed in digging up something useful, such as silver or copper or some even rarer metals. . So we'll just let the gold lie in the ground. And in a sense, money no matter what its form or' backing has become, relatively speaking, un important jWe'nrspending for destructive, not productive purposes over a billion dollars a week. How we used to moan when our gov ernment spent a billion a month that it didn't have! Even to the individual, money is less im portant. There are people who are grabbing for . all of it they can get, but it may not be worth their trouble. People who know what Is im portant now, are content if they get their hands Ion enough money to keep going, to survive while they do the Job that is important. What was true of war in ancient times has not however changed entirely. 1 This - war Is being : fought by the axis- for slaves. ' Courage or Foolhardiness - 7 : After all that has happened to professional prognosticators since 1939, someone has had ' the courage, or foolhardiness, to launch a new magazine titled "Predictions" of in full, "Pre dictions of Things to Come, by Authorities Like ly to Be Right" That someone is the Parents Institute, Inc and the magazine's first issue Is just off the press. George J. Hecht Is the publisher. " r . J ' v The one prediction the world desires above all else is the answer to "When and how wilTtha war end?" The magazine doesn't dodge it The answer is by Max Werner. In fairness, it. should be said that Werner approaches the topic in no spirit of assumed omniscience. It is his calcuation that Germany, after taking se vere punishment this winter and failing to cope with . a two-front war next summer, will fall in November, 1943. After that Japan's fall will be just a matter of time, and no great stretch of time though no definite date is men tioned. - News the News By PAUL MALLON ehind .,-M" 1 " f . , i (. . . MtMWMeatMMSI rami UmDmrn Bear Story - Another northward naval and air attack Is being carried to the - enemy in the Solomons as this is written, while Germans in high places have just admitted that they no longer hope to take "all" of Stalingrad by storm. These- events are still in the" fluid state but they and the Nips' abandonment of two bases in the Solomons highlight the apparent change of front in American officials home front strate gy. - :iy, ;X;': ;r-y-? "We jure losing the war, period." That was the style recently in pronouncement by gov ernment and military officials to the civilian populace; We doubt if it tabled many civilians. We had "lost most of the engagements" because we hadn't been ready to fight No reasonable person expected anything, else. Purpose of the "bear stories" was to make us fight harder at home. This column has clung to the conviction that the thought of our men, and some women and children, prisoners of the sadistic and vengeful, Japanese military, ought to provide incentive enough for an all-out war ' production effort and for -all-out civilian co operation including every useful sacrifice. Now . our deprivations, minor but irritating, add to . ' our , impatience for victory . and serve - as van -added spur. We want to get the beastly business finished. Vvv . ; It's feotbaU season,, the normal bear story season. But we always did think coaches' bear stories and we've printed dozens of then were highly transparent and useful even if be lieved, only if "our side" was unduly favored by thedcpe." TTJ T :tL- .U "W uaiu'MAAci 'uu uic nor This -is- the revolution, and no fooling. -Tor months now, a great many persons who msed "to le .salesmen have been busier thanever dry ing to persuade prospective customers, they, don't need the merchandise. To cap the climax, 'the hard likker industry is .getting ready to do You might say that at long last and to all .practical .-purposes, the-whisky industry and the WCTU-are working fat harmony. But of course, that's only -a superficial veiwpoint , .. There is. a five-year supply of whisky on hand but not much is now being produced; next .year none will beprodueed, the distilleries hav ing been Ehifted to production of alcohol for smokeless powder and other w,ar purposes. So the whisky industry, in view of the . pos sibility that the war may last five years -or more, is anxious to make its supply last until it can start producing again and its concern may be due in part to a fear that if the entire public ! is forced to mount the water wagon and stay. there for an indefinite period, there won't be a market after the war. That is just our suspicion but if it's correct it might be equally -smart for the "drys" . to take the opposite tack and do their best to get the remaining supply used up. Well, don't jump cn us it V.2.S only an idea. Art Perry's. Smudge Pot column in the Med fcrd Jlail Tribune usually comments destruc tively, not to say !avastatingly.

' WASHINGTON, Oct T A lofty military authori ty (not Mr. Roosevelt) has. written a personal let ter to some senators taking a much more optimistic view of the American war position than has been expressed publicly by officials in speeches. - This letter contests specifically the view set forth by Lieutenant Somervell in his St Louis; speech, that we are . losing the war. General Som ervell's exact words were: "The war has gone none too . welL So far we've lost nearly every ' major struggle. If we continue to lose a little while longer, it will be too late to save ourselves, America and civilization." , - ' The letter presents a change of official emphasis, along, the line , suggested by Mr, Roose velt" after his trip, -when he stepped down hard on all his sub-officials who have said the war -is being lost Although the president named no names, among the eminent toes that must have felt the crunch, aside from Somervell's, were those of Navy Sec retary Knox, various assistant secretaries, and, I -believe, even the right-hand man, Harry Hopkins. Up to now, officials have tended to blacken up the dark side of every picture publicly, for the ostensible purpose of goading the people to greater effort Mr. Roosevelt's ' tour seems to have con vinced. him that line - Is no longer necessary or desirable, if it ever was.'. When you look at it right side up, the strictly military picture Is by no means dismal We have suffered major setbacks, few successes, true. But we have been in a period of preparation. We were not ready at the start We were caught off guard, we had a -one-ocean navy and no army. Now we have an army in the final stages of preparation for attack. Our navy is still intact, after initial losses, and ahead is -the prospect that our naval building will put us eventually on a two-ocean status. The next ten months will tell the tale in this war, not the last ten. - The Stalin and Wfllkie statements have brought "second front to the fore, again. Any efforts. by : commentators or military analysts to ferret out their true meanings or Intentions can only" be considered personal speculation. l f i The Russians , (and Willkie) cave the situation its only new recent turn, by implying, that the ." timidity of British and 'American military officials Is responsible for the delay. - If that Is a sincerely held Russian opinion, the Kremlin is less crafty in its diplomacy this time than ever before. I cannot remember another hplomatic occasion- when it proceeded toward its ..purpose so straightforwardly. On the other hand, If it is an attempt to deceive -Hitler and; to- conceal the - imminence - of a blow by us, it is clevertr Inline with usual red diplo matic tactics.. The actual situation on -a second front is. plain to alt It Is to our advantage to strike as soon a possible, and has been-for the past ten months. Even before that it was to the advantage of the British to strike. I do not know why the British did not strike.' I confidently assume it was because they were, not ready, because otherwise "they must be considered fbOUU. v.; -V:- r-'. r I assume the same thing has. been holding us up. After all, we have bear-to mis war only ten months. . Of one -thing we can all be. positive: " The --seeoad - front -abould not be , instituted a . moment before ''our generals-. think they can win it When we go in, we must be sure we wQl stay in and go on. Any thought of sacrificing lives and material, . just to create a temporary diversion for the reds would ' do neither the reds' nor us any lasting good. , The red cause can win this war now, only if our second front effort succeeds, and .only when it succeeds. Stalin and Willkie must know that 4 Hi tire's speech betrayed no fear of a - second front On the contrary, he practically announced his future war intentions. He said he would switch to the defensive . in Russia, as soon as he had cleaned out Stalingrad and the Caucasus. The only thing he definitely prom ised in the west was retaliatory bombing of Britain. . He indicated he wanted to build up empire with in the outlines of his present domain and stand defensively against the rest of the world. Ordinarily Hitler's word is not worth repeating, but in this case he confirmed the best mSItary judgment here. Also, while he has rarely fulfilled a political or diplomatic promise, I believe he has taken some pride in fulfilling his promises of mili- tary action. .

I think it would be a good idea to give -this a -good-thought : ': - - I .have always thought rules of the public . highway ought also to be applied to traffic on sidewalks.' . ' I-was going ncarth on ISth street the other evening. I met four persons abreast coming, south. I had always given my right to others before but this time was sorely vexed. The per son on my side of the walk was -rn say a woman but not a lady. You know we can be men and women or we can be ladies and gentlemen Just as we .pre ; fer. Anyway I pushed her over to her place with my elbow and she' looked ; daggers at me as much as to say, TTou brute! : On several occasions I have been going up State street north of the campus and have met groups of young people occupy ing the whole walk and not giv ing one inch of right-of-way. I have been observing these things for the past ten years and they are constantly g e 1 1 1 n g worse.

Just under : the bill the roofs of a village showed amongst the trees, but the train turned capriciously- away' from It, choosing to stop at a station called Rolyott that was nothing but a shed . in the middle of fields. He got out there, handing bis ticket to the solitary porter, who stared at It for a moment and then said something about Fellingham being three stations further on. Vs - In answer Smith smiled and said ft was all right, and as the train moved off again the bed headed boy who was . always looking out of the window saw him smiling and smiled back. That made him feel suddenly cheerful. . And besides, the air was warm, blended, with scents -of hay - and flowers, and the tree-hidden village looked tempting even at the end of a long road; he set out walking briskly. A few hundred yards from the station, withdrawn In to a hedge so that no one could see it save by search or chance, a broken signpost - pointed, to the ground, and he had to climb through nettles to decipher its stained and weather-worn let- " ters: To Beachings Over, I Mile." - - He walked on murmurng the name to himself, as he always did ' with names -.

He felt: This Is home; If they will let me stay here, I shall be at peace. He turned off the road by a path towards an open field that climbed steeply.
