Tip.
WASHINGTON, Oct. J2. Two
three Inflationists have been tipped
off by the White House that a mon
etary atatement will be coming from
the president ehortly.
They were led to believe It will be
devaluation of a 60-cent dollar, with
ramifications concerning silver and
per.haps the commodity dollar.
They were told to keep their shirts
on until the president la ready to
do his announcing.
That la why they have been so
quiet lately.
Signs.
One senator recently declined to
write & story about Inflation because
his private Information Indicated
Mr. Roosevelt would apeak before the
story could he published. Another
has been telling his closest friends
there Is a good chHnce silver wHl get
.helpful action. He Is figuring on
bl-metalllsm. but that probably Is
too much to expect. More likely a
silver purchasing scheme will be
what he will get.
These eigne can hardly -be accept
ed as definite, but confirming In
ferences are now coming from an
other quarter.
The banking crowd la passing the
word around that federal reserve of
ficials and Mr. Roosevelt have been
getting very close to agreement on
tv gold policy.
Reasoning.
The bankers are coming to the
Poosevelt way of thinking by a cir
cuitous route.
They say they were opposed to go
ing off the gold standard In the
first place. They Infer that they
would not have gotten Into this cur-
rency problem at all. But now that
we are in it. they agree that the
thing to do Is to get back on gold.
They realize It would be difficult and
useless to try the same old gold
standard again. So Miey are willing
to take a new gold standard on the
basis of tfie existing valuation of the
dollar.
The new opinion was very widely
expressed in private by the federal
reserve governing croup which was
recently here.
Also It la known very definitely
now that the British have been
sounded out on the matter of cur
rency stabilization.
The British war debt delegates
here are probably truthful when
they say the subject Is not being
mentioned In t,heir debt conferences.
But they hide the fact that informal
discussions have been going on out
side the conference.
Our officials are whistling a new
tune about that. . They say they
would like to have Britain come in
on currency stabilization, also France
but neither is needed. They Insist
France would be forced to devalue if
we did. Also that England could
run along and roll her own hoop
as she Is doing now.
TViat kind of reasoning sounds
suspicious. Up to now these same
officials have been using the recal
cltrancy of England and France as an
excuse for not devaluing.
The most logical explanation Is
that our negotiations with England
and France, have NOT been entirely
successful and our officials axe get
ting around to the point where they
will take a chance on going Into the
thing alone.
Opposition.
Not, all the barkers, favor the
scheme. A bloc of antls recently
heard wihat was going on. They
started planting yarns around about
how much devaluation would cost
those who have dollars now. Also
the Idea was circulated that devalu
ation might prove useless as a price
stimulant.
These stories are probably true. The
results to be exepected from devalu
ation have been wldly exaggerated
by most of Its advocates.
Vet the fact remains that "bylng
now' and credit stimulation and all
the other current programs are en
countering the Insurmountable ob
stacles of ft dollar witrt St. Vltua
dance.
' New Brain Trust.
Mr. Roosevelt has been seeking ft
conservative way of calming it. He
ssld as much to ft banker who re
cently called at the White House.
This banker came away with the
view that the president waa leaning
more and more towards sound mon
ey and othrr conservative policies
but that he is trying to present ft
sufficiently radical appearance to
plactee those who are ahoutlng for
drastic and quick action.
That seems to be the game.
If you want any further proof, all
vou need to do is watch those who
are running In and out of the White
Hou these days. Not Senator
Thomas or the money radicals. But
Gov. Black of federal reserve. Jesse

ence with the farm law adminis
trators, Secretary Wallace and George

On leaving. Johnson informed news
papermen "we are attempting to get
together on fundamental policies,
but refused to say whether the trio
had reached any decisions.
In a recent public addresa he as
serted "there la a distinct movement
to raise farmer antagonism to NRA
the ground that anything done
for workers before farm prices are
raised to their pre-war relatlonehlp
to other prices la unfavorable to agri

Today he said "we have been going

President Roosevelt had the oppor

Ing the NRA leader to a luncheon

Three Main Point.
It was reported that the discus

around these main points:
1. A growing undercurrent of feel
ing In farm administration circles
that lta efforts to Increase price to
farmers have been more than offset
by Increases In prices paid by farmers
aa a result of the NRA program.
3. Determination of a ' policy ' of
'distribution markups. The . farm
admlnlatratlon has expressed open
hostility to 3'i and 7 per cent
markups over delivered cost by whole
salers and retailers allowed In the
proposed master food oode aa It

Reduction in Force Due to
Decreased Receipts Last
2 Years Word at Salem
Late Comers Slated
By CLAYTON BKHMIARD
(Associated Press Staff Writer.)
SALEM, Oct. 12 (T Tentative
plana for reduction or the game law
enforcement division of the state po
lice, by at least five patrolmen, aa
announced by members of the state
game commission in Portland yester
day, waa confirmed here today by
Charles P. Pray, auperlntendent of
state police.
The reduction. It was understood
here, was one of aeveral proposals to
keep expenditures of the game funds
down to decreased receipts experi
enced during the past couple of years.
Game law enforcement at the same
time, records show, haa reduced con-
alderably under the atate police con
trol, last year showing a decrease of
more than 13, 000 a yea over any
of the past six years, and the cost
this year, under the budget, will be
17,500 under that figure.
Costs Lowered.
Cost of the gsme law enforcement
was lowered some the current yeir
by reduction of salaries, but rather
than reduce salaries further, tents.
tlve plans call for reducing the stalf
by at least five after November 1
It was expected these men would be
those recently added to the staff, but
who they will be haa not yet been
determined, Pray said.
Records in the secretary of atate 's
office revealed that while the state
legislature reduced the salaries of all
employes, the plan apparently has not
been atrlctly adhered to In other oe
paxtmenta over which the game com
mission has control. Increases of
about $10 a month were noted for
two officials of the game commission
This gave rise to speculation here
Whether the commission also planned
to make Its administrative and pro
duction costs correspond to the re
duced receipts.
No Information Given.
The meeting of the . commission
with Pray here Tuesday was an ex
ecutive session, and the only oonv
ment made by Chairman M. E. Cor-
rigan of the commission was that a
friendly conference wlrn the state
police auperlntendent wss held, and
no statements whatsoever would be
given out.
"My conference with the game com
mission was a very pleasant one."
Pray reiterated here today, "and we
contrived to overcome our respective
difficulties with relation to the pay
ment problem to the apparent satis
faction of everyona concerned. I be
lieve the reduction from 35 to 30
men will not impair the efficiency of
the enforcement to a great extent,
and I am glad to cooperate with the
commission in meeting expense diffi
culties."
The game law enforcement last
year required about 40 per cent of th
entire receipts, records at the state
police department ehow.
