The astute WSBhngUn correspond

the new International col policy for
his Lendon readers substantially as
follows: -
Protessor Warren, who devised tne

inventor of a novel device to stimu
late the la-ylng of eggs. His plan was
to. keeo electric lights In the hen
es, which encourape the hens to
lay twite an many e&jo.
"Thla waa thought to be a very ex
celled scheme until It developed that
the stimulation to the hens short
ened their lives bjs two-thirds.
"The plan was thereupon "ban
atoned ah being to costly. The same
rwil are In the gold policy."
A strf y has been spread around the
country that Mr. Roosevelt Is bidding
up gnld prices solely to benefit Wil
liam Randolph Hearst, the newspaper
publisher. Tou hear It on nearly every
street corner. The gossips twist the
policy around that way because
Hearst Is supposed to be majority
stockholder In the largest (Home
stake) American gold mine.
The story Is too absurd for of
ficial denial. The truth Is Messrs.
Roosevelt and Hearst are not on the
best o terms, especially since Hearst
attacked the NRA.
It is also true that a former mcm

Roosevelt's Depression
Remedy Fruitless Says
Noted British Economist
Control of U. S. Banking System Declared
More Important Than Gold Plan
New Currency Issue Needed
(Copyright, 1933, by the Associated Press.)
OXFORD, England, Nov. 1. (P) President Kooscvelt's program of con
trolling the currency will be fruitless unless he controls the banking sys
tem of. the United States as well. Professor Frederick Soddy, noted sci
entist and economist of Oxford university, said today.
"Democracy cannot afford to leave
the power of Issue of money In the
hands of anyone but Its own gov
ernment," said Professor Soddy. who
In one of his best known books
blames what he calls the wrecking of
scientific ctvillzatidh on the money
system.
"It la Impossible to keept the value
of money constant If you allow peo
ple to Issue and destroy It as a busi
ness," he added. "You cannot have
stabilisation as long as you have bank
credit."
The return of money and credit to
the consumer by the Issuing of new
money by the government is the so
lution which Profess Soddy advo
cates for the present situation.
"I don't s?e any way fr a govern
ment to relievo the situation," he
said, "except by giving more money
to consumers.
"Payment of pensions or bonuses t
war veterans would do the iwe thlr
In a rough way, but It Unnecessary to
remember that only a small amount
Is needed."
The professor estimated that be
tween 90 and 360 million dollars
should be transferred to the consumer
in America.
An institution like the Reconstruc
tion Finance corporation, he &Vd.
which Issued credW to producers.
raised pclces against consumers and
caused them to buy less. Bamka also
aggravate the present trouble of pro
duction outrunning consumption. In
his opinion.
Professor Soddy believes that the
effort t control the currency by the
purchase of gold can not succeed, aa
"gold has no real relation to the price
level at the present time except as a
smoke screen. It matters only within
the limits, set by the antiquated
banking rules."
He opposes Inflation strongly, dif
fering with the inflationists concern
ing the amount of money used.
There is a need for ft currency kept
at a constant price level and based
on the willingness of the people to
part with goods for It, the professor
said.
"Any index. If you choose It sci
entifically and stick to it, is better
than none. As people increase in pros
perity and n numbers you must issue
more money to maintain proper price
levels."

GOLD PRICE LEAPS
ITAIfllTCIIED
WASHINGTON, Nov, I, A
Jump in the price of gold both here
and abroad today accompanied Presl
dent rDOseveIt'a preparations for
quick application of his plan intend
ed to llf commodity prices by pur
chaslngftie yellow metal on European
markets.
The administration advanced Its,
fixed price fr R.PK3 purchases of
newly mined domestic gold to 132.26,
14 cents above yjsterday and a new
high.
Meanwhile, the London bullion
quotation increased from (31.05 yes
terday to (31.52 today, both figures
translated Into dollars at the day's
opening rate of exchange.
Thus, while the domestic price
yesterday stood (1.07 higher than the
world's price. th margin today was
reduced to 74 cents.
A part of the shrinkage was due to
weakness of the dollar as against the
pound. It declined as low as $4.79 'i
today from (4.75 at yesterday's open
ing. While officials evinced a determin
ation to go ahead with the gold pur
chases as quickly aa the necessary
arrangements could be made, they
were watching, nevertheless, for of
ficial Indication of Great Britain's re
action to the plan, involving, as it
does, dealings in foreign exchange.

Charles M. Thomas, public utilities
commissioner, to contract haulers un

It was learned by the Associated Press

31. Going to buy gold on the
world market now. Whnt we '
been buying has boon just
"home talent" gold. They
claim the more you buy and the
more you pay, the cheaper your
dollar will get.
Well, you will have no trou-
bio on foreign support in this
scheme. It will be no hardship
for them to chargo you even
$o an ounce.
Now here is what us dumb
ones don't get.- When we had
practically . half the world's
gold our dollar was still higher
than a flagpole sitter, but this
is no place for the ignorant, for
there is two people you can't '
argue with. One is a professor,
for ho has specs, and the other
is an economist, for ho has a
title.
