. WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. If
jov.A not understand what the gov

need not feel
t li a t you are
thickheaded. The
government Itself
fcas had some
trouble finding
out what It was
doing.

' th thing all
straightened out.

Paul MaLlon
Is thoroughly explained, and It can
be fairly said that the announcement
means no more than It did In the
first place.
The trouble seems to have started
en the Inside when one treasury under-official
got the Idea that It would
Dot be wise to disclose that President
Roosevelt had authorized a minor In
flationary step in silver two months
ago. He thought It might create a
bed Impression to let out that fact
at this late date. So. the Insiders say,
fee blue-penciled It from the original
Rationalization announcement.
As there was no detailed official ex
planation of how the treasury was
handling Its silver, rumors started to
flow Immediately. Most of them were
mrrong.
When these rumors began to affect
.m-.mm.nt hnnrf market, action
was taken swiftly. Mr. Roosevelt's old
liver order was given out. Later an
Trhans. nf corresnondence between
jr, Rorgenthau and Mr. Roosevelt
iu made public. All tne silver csrqa
were then presumably placed face up
en the table.
They showed that the only Infla
tionary step Mr. Roosevelt has taken
on silver was In the June 14 order. It
concerned only old silver held In the
treasury then and not the new silver
acquired slnoa. He authorized the Is
suance of currency at 1.28 an ounce
against that silver, and valued the
reserve at 11.39 an ounce, whereas he
fead paid much less for It.
The Inflation thus Involved Is ex
actly $33,100,000. which Is merely a
liver shred among the gold. It
means nothing.'
From the face-up carda you can
ascertain, however, - that Mr. Roose
elt has not done the same thing
with the nejvly acquired silver. He
in Issuing money against that only to
the extent of the purchase price, and
not on the basis of the Inflated price
. pf (1.29 an ounce.
Everyone within a mile of the In
tide believe tha president will some
day use his newly acquired silver In
the same way he did the old silver,
t put do not be misled Into deducing
inflation la coming from that.
.The truth is that the amount of
I ellver Involved' Is so small It Just can
1' not affect the credit of the treasury
1 nor appreciably affect tho amount of
f money In circulation. The maximum
! amount of Inflation Mr. Roosevelt
i could get that way from silver stocks
seized and the purchase of the do
j mestic output ourlng the first year Is
around 225,000,000.
Ht can use this silver device for
5 leal Inflation only If he goes Into the
: world market and buys sll the silver
In sight.
J Some who know silver cannot see
anough of that metal In the world to
' permit a major Inflation even then.
There are estimates that no more
, than 100.000,000 ouncea are available
for purchase by us now In India and
China. Some estimates run as low as
8,000,000 ounces.
Professor Rogers now la In China
looking into the situation for the administration.
The recent experience of the government-
bond market may put a
damper on the whole silver program.
Tjiat market Is most sensitive In
Ernes like these.
The government has a lot of financ
ing to do and can easily maintain
the market for Its financing unless
h inflation talk sets out of hand.
Some shrewd observers believe that
tha recent brief decline was meant aa
word of warning sgalnst Inflstlon
en the part of large holders of gov-
rnmenu. At any rate. It Is true that
lomi large holders desired to "test"
the market by selling, and now have
repurchased.

Farley Says Vote Shows New
Deal Increasingly Popu
lar With People G. 0. P.
Leader Gets Reverse View
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. (AP) I
Recent primary results seemed to
day to please leaders of both parties.
Postmaster General Farley said they
show "the new deal la Increasingly
popular with the people."
Senator Hastings. Republican cam
paign spokesman, contended "the new
deal has not been faring so well."
Farley, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, and Hastings, co
chairman of the Republican senatorial-congressional
campaign commit
tee, expressed their views In formal
statements.
Trouble for New Deal Seen.
Hastings aald the "new deal" had
"taken a couple of hard knocks" In
recent primaries, citing the victory
of Vio Donahey, former governor.
over Charles West, the administra
tion candidate, for Ohio's Democratic
senatorial nomination, and the defeat
In West Virginia, of Clem Shaver,
backed by Farley, at the hands of
Rush Holt for the senate nomination.
But listen to Farley:
"With a total of 6 states having
held their primaries accounting for
363 out of 436 members, or more than
60 per cent of the entire house mem
bership, the results Justify com
pletely the feeling that the new deal
la Increasingly popular with the peo
ple of the country.
Demi Satisfied.
The Democratic national organisa
tion la more than satisfied with the
results of yesWrday'a primaries In
Ohio, Nebraska, Arkansas and Idaho."
He added the national committee
iTvas looking forward to "welcoming
Senator Donahey" as the successor
to Senator. Fess (R Ohio) and "will
greet with cheers the advent of Ed
ward R. Burke of Nebraska, who
defeated Charles Bryan for the sena
torial nomination In that state.
Hastings contended the adminis
tration was attempting to build
"Roosevelt party" In place of the
Democratic party. ' He cited Presi
dent Roosevelt's recent mention of
Senator LaFollette (R Wis.) in his
Wisconsin speech, together with ad
ministration support previously be
stowed on Senator Johnson (R-, Cnl.)

Island penitentiary was In a state of

Last February the prison, which la

The deputy warden ot the prison
at the time. Daniel E. Sheehan, was
placed under military arrest and the
hesdkeeper was suspended on charges
of Incompetency, inefficiency and

MacCormack aald.
The prisoners accepted tha rumor
