WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. The best
tip on the new money policy Is the
fact that Jamea Warburg will be
around the White House again very
ihortly.
Warburg la the presidential money
Adviser who went out cussing several
I months ago when the Warren gold
price autoglro was started. He has
not been back alone. He spent the
intervening time campaigning against
the Warren autoglro mode of eco
nomic uplift.
The return of the sounder money
prodigal to the White House fold will
confirm the recently growing sus
picion that there will be more War
burg and less Warren in the money
policy hereafter.
Mr. Roosevelt did not Jump Into
his new money policy. Ho was pushed
It Is a very touchy topic and no 1
one wants to talk about it, but there
aeema to be good cause for Believing
that the banker gave him the nudge
which sent him overboard.
They are practical men. when they
aw his budget provided that they
should handle ten billions of govern
ment securities in the next six
months, they began to make pertln
nt inquiries about the future mone
tary intention of the borrower.
The answers they received about
the government going to make a big
profit out of devaluation sometime fn
the future.did not satisfy them.
What they really wanted wa de
valuation and stabilization, a cessa
tion of this tampering with money
and establishment of a definite base
somewhere that they could bank on.
We are going into a period of an
almost certain business upturn. The
capital finance market Is dead. One
cause, probably the main one, is mon
ey uncertainty. Bankers would be
fools to go out and finance business
projects and the government on a
grand ecale without reasonable assur
ances a to what the dollar will be
worth When collecting time comes
around.
Mr. Roosevelt compromised, with
them. He gave them positive assur
ances of devaluation and stabiliza
tion at more than 60 cents and not
less than 50 cent on the dollar. That
should be assurance enough to per
mit government financing, and pos
sibly also encourage private financ
ing. The expert are chuckling about the
act that Mr. Roosevelt gave no more
assurances than were necessary.
"While he surrendered about three
Inches, hi reserved a whole mile of
new leeway behind him.
There was a characteristic superb
lndeflnlteneas as to his plans.
Ha asked congress for 3.000,000,000
worth of chip to play poker on the
foreign exchange table. He hinted
that he was going to scare most 01
the players out of the game and force
an international agreement that all
poker playing be stopped herealter.
He hinted slyly at bimetallism but
promised nothing. He avoided any
mention of the commodity dollar.
The political atethoscoptlclans have
a faint Idea what he has in mind. H
la faint because he Is confiding In no
one.
They believe the move Is a decr
shift from the old gold price theories.
They figure he will now center on
reaching better commodity price levcta
through domestic means. With all
the money tho government Is now
pouring out and a natural business
Improvement In prospec'. he should
have little dlttlculty In reaching his
1926 price level within a reasonable
time.
That shift will permit him to han
dle the International currency and
gold problem with a view to restor
ing stability, thereby opening the
T way for a resumption of foreign trade.
It sounds like a better plan than
the last one.

16. I never thought the tima
would conic when I thought I
would be nblc to advise colleges'
how to run their business, but
in Cnlifornin Sunday we saw
our first real professional foot
ball played and 23,000 came
away raving about it, especially
the rules under which they
piny, where you can pass from
anywhere, any time.
Now as football is not only
the backbone but the gravy of
college existence, you follows
better open up your game, for
this program waa just mado
for an audience, no penalty
every minute to keep an audi
ence sore, nobody getting hurt
every play, referees not in the
way of the players.
Colleges have dovclopcd the
yelling but the pros have devel
oped the game.
Now you colleges wake up. I
don't want to sec you huve to
close up your doors.
