Howe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. Some of
the funny money talk lately has come
from no less a personage than Louts
Howe. He Is supposed to have- plant-
Ad the yam about devaluation being
absurd.
When the Insider heard about that
they called for ice-water and smelling
salts. They figured Mr. Roosevelt
must have lost trust In the brain
trust and was letting his shrewd po
litical adviser handle money matters,
It meant big things because Howe
T was apt . nave ? u , vn i
about money. He did not know a
yen from a carrot when he left Al
bany. The bUj boya were Beared.
They were all wrong.
Smoke-Screen.
The truth seema to be that Howe
la In charge of confusion, not money.
The President has been somewhat
Irritated by the pressure brought on
him by the Wall Streetera, and busi
ness as well, for some assurance about
what was going to happen to the dol
lar. This lrltntlon assumed such pro
portions that In a comic way he drew
a sword recently when rcportera con
tinuously plagued him for an answer
to the money question.
He has gone to tmusualy lengths
to keep speculators from finding out
what he really had in mind. Howe
was pressed Into service for that
cause.
When bigger and better confusion
la made, Howe will make It. Some
one else will make the money policy.
Malice.
This talk of "sabotage" against the
NRA Is not all talk. There is more
behind it than General Johnson and
Senator Wagner have chosen to say.
They cannot prove It, but they have
verv emphatic evidence of a concert
ed effort to break down the NBA. It
Is sponsored by ultra-conservatives
who have been hiding in their holes
since March 4. In some communities
It has developed as far as a secret
understanding not to buy In NRA
tores. Of itself the movement does
not amount to much.
It would be serious, except for the
fact that it la attracting support from
a far greater class of people who are
,tMnnnninted and angry about the
manv mistakes the NRA has made
This vast clsss gives a sincere front
to those who are out to undermine
the NRA movement maliciously.
Fears.
What Johnson and Wagner really
fear Is that a majority of the people
will be misled into abandoning the
little fundamental good the NBA has
accomplished.
Even that would not be so bad. If
only the NRA Issue were Involved.
The next step the administration
has had In the back of Its head all
along la national planning. The NBA
was only the basis on which the re
covery structure waa actually to be
built. If It failed (and all except the
realous in charge of It thought it
would fail to accompllah a full meas
ure of recovery) then the procedure
was to be even shorter hours, price
control, production control, and ac
tual government supervision.
If a nonular wave of Indignation
la aroused against the NRA It ruins
not only everything the administra
tion haa done but nearly everything
It planned to do.
The government today can only get
wy with what a majority of the
people will stand for.
Futility.
A certain South American nation
tried to get the United States to take
the lead in postponing the coming
pan-American conference at Monte
video. The state department de
clined. No one else cared to take the In
itiative, so the meeting will probably
asemble.
However, that la a good tip on whst
you can expect out of the conference.
Relaxation,
t Tt may be denied, but word has
been passed around that the public
works administration haa loosened up
at Inst. Forthcoming figures will
slow that more money la being put
out.
That means the stringent require.
menta of those In control are being
relaxed somewhat. In at least a few
Instances contract have been let be

render a final report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. (AP)
Firm control of the dullar'a Bold value
today was added by President Room.
'
velt to the government's multiple ef
fort to lift commodity prices. I
The means of control waa establish
ment of a government market for
newly mined gold in the United
States and the president's decision to
buy or sell gold "whenever neces
sary" In the world market.
Mr. Roosevelt announced the step
as a definite policy, "to establish and
maintain continuous control" looking
toward a managed currency, in a talk
to the country last ntght. He pledged
specifically to boost price levels and
eventually revalue the dollar.
To Maintain Credit
"Government credit will be main
tained," the president said, "and a
sound currency will accompany a rise
In the American commodity price
level."
Reviewing hla administration's re
covery campaign, Mr. Roosevelt assur
ed the people "we are on our way and
we are headed in the right direction."
"When we have restored the price
level," ald the president, "we shall
seek to establish and maintain a dol
lar which will not change It purchas
ing power during the succeeding gen
eration." Control Important
For the present, he said, it was Im
portant to tighten control over the
dollar. Mr. Roosevelt added:
"A a further effective meana to
this end, I am going to establish a
government market for gold in the
United States. Therefore, under the
clearly defined authority of existing
law, I am authorizing the reconstruc
tion finance corporation to buy gold
newly mined in the United State at
prices to be determined from time to
time after consulatlon with the secre
tary of the treasury and the president.
Whenever necessary to the end in
view, we shall also buy or sell gold In
the world market."
Along with thla new monetary ac
tion, Mr. Roosevelt discussed generally
the alma and achievements of the re
covery drive, stressing the farm and
NRA administration as mounting
columns in the new "edifice of recov
erythe temple which, when com
pleted, will no longer be a temple of
money changer or beggar but rather
a temple dedicated to and maintained
for a greater social Justice, a greater
welfare for America the habitation
of a sound economic life."

prices.
The Information that the buying
holiday will not be halted, was given

Chicago, where he said he planned
to confer with A. F. Whitney, head
oi rne Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, in the hope of enlisting "moral
support" of that organization.
Reno said that President Roose
velt's statement last night "contained
no ray of hope there will be change
In policies which so far have proved
ineirective.
"The president failed to even men

Bans Price Cutting
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23. (AP)
The retail code, signed late last
night by President Roosevelt, waa
made by an appendix to Include
all drug stores, thus eliminating
necessity for a separate compact
for them.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. ( AP)
President Roosevelt, recording his ap
proval of the retail code, took Indi
rect notice of the recurring disputes
over the "merit clause" In industrial
codes today with a notification to the
NRA that It waa his understanding
that here waa nohlng In the labor
clauses of the Industrial control law
to Interfere with the "bona fide exer
cise of the right of an employer to
select, retain or advance employe on
the basia of individual merit."
Hugh S. Johnson, NRA chief, made
the presidential communication pub
lic.
Question a Thorn
The question has been somewhat of
a thorn in the NRA side since the
controverted clause was allowed In
the automobile code. Johnson ban
ning It thereafter.
The president wrote that the labor
clause of the Industrial law "doe
clearly prohibit the pretended exer
cise of thla right by an employer sim
ply as a device for compelling em
ployes to refrain from exercising the
rights of self organization designation
of representatives and collective bar
gaining, which are guaranteed to all
employe.." '
Johnson aald this statement had
been made necessary because of the
extended controversy over the legal
provision of a free right of labor to
organize, which caused numerous In
dustrie to attempt to write the
"merit" caluse into their codes.
Interpretations Wrong

w$ays:
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. 21
Flew in here this morning with
Vice Tresident Garner and
Mrs. Farley nnd there is some
tliinp; that you ought to come
all the way to San Antonio to
see. That's Randolph flying
field, the finest flying field in
the world and the 'pettiest
lsyed out thing In America.
Then there's Kelly field. Our
salvation in the next war comes
out of this unique little city.
Flying on down to Garner's
home at Uvalde, where for 30
years he represented them in
congress and the prairie dogs
all voted for him.
Where other vice-presidents
have done nothing but make
speeches, Garner just fishes.
If all politicians fished instead
of speaking publicly we would
be at peace with the world.
