Here the president is taking a step that has been too long delayed. The Veteran's Administration ex pended *1,020.464,000 or nearly one tl ird of the total federal outlay other than debt service in 1933. The veterans’ bureau expends ap- proximately three times the amount expended on tho navy and approx- mately three times the amount ■pent annually upon the army. The total navy and army expense, mili- tary purposes, is but *634,645,000 cr nearly four hundred million dol- tars less than what is expended for veterans’ aid. The amount expended y the Veterans’ Administration is about *300,000,000 more than the entire cost of the federal govern ment In 1916. Without such sweeping powers being granted to the president the romise of a balanced budget and a 5 per cent reduction in federal ex penditures would not be accomplish ed. All that we can do is to hope that by placing its own financial house n order the government will bring he return of prosperity. Off or On Gold? 1933 MARCH 1933 (From the Oregonian) To the Editor: There is so much onfusion and diversity of opinion is to what is really meant by being n or off the gold standard that I believe it would be a real service to the people If you would give a clear ind full explanation of the subject n an editorial.

The gold standard, as defined in 3 recent work on money (A Primer f Money, by D. G. Woodward and Marc A Rose), "fixes the unit of a nation’s money as a definite weight of pure gold, or gold of a given fine- ness, and pledges tthe nation to pay money for all gold offered, likewise to redeem in gold all money offered, at fhe specified rate.” Economists generally name three operations as essential to mainte iance of the gold standard: (1) ree e: port and import as an ordi- tary commercial transaction; (2) ree conversion of currencies into >14 at contr 1 banks or government reasurics; (3) purchase or sale of gold at a fired price by central banks or treasuries on request.
