THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1934. No. 131. M By PAUL MALLON. (Copyright, 1934, by Paul Mallon) j WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 23.-The 'inflation whoopee hai started again. It la being encouraged particularly by the fact that every near-lnslder in Washington and New York has heard that a leading govern ment adviser re cently predicted It. off the record, to 60 or more people. He did not a a y how much or when-. The method he chose to spread the word haa Paul Mallon caused many people to doubt the value of the prediction. When any jone lets ao many people in on such Va highly speculative secret. It usually Is not a very good secret. The truth seems to be that the ad ministration Is trying to sing two dlf j ferent tunes on the money piano at 4 the same time. That Is what was done on silver. The nationalization motif had an Inflationary undertone, but a thoroughly firm money melody. The Inflationary hints are supposed ' to drive stagnant money out of hoarding before prices go higher. The sound money melody la designed to soothe the eara of government bond holders. It takes a master political pianist to attempt those two themes at the same time. Ill More interesting than that, how ever, Is the fact that certain money experts have worked out a specific plan whereby the government could undertake a convincing moderate money Inflation. They base It on what already haa been done with gold and silver. It Is highly desirable In undertak ing Inflation for the government to aclze all gold and silver. Such action keeps these precious metals In the country and yet out of public circu lation In competition with paper 4 money. That has been done. An- other doslrable step Is to devalue gold 'and get a big reserve profit In the treasury. That has been done. The next step would be to devalue the silver dollar commensurately with gold, thus accumulating a stiver re serve profit In the treasury. By thus cutting the content of the sliver dollar, the treasury also could hasten the day on which silver would be established at the promised 25 per cent ratio with gold. It would have to buy very little additional silver to reach the ratio goal. The treasury would also then have a theoretical silver as well aa gold "profit" against which It could Issue 3)4 to 5 billions of new currency. That would be a limited monetary Inflation and a islrly sound one because the new money would be backed by gold and silver, although at a depreciated value. It may sound complicated, but It Is . relatively simple bookkeeping trick. Th, government merely increases the price of Its C'1'1 monetary reserve, arbitrarily, and uses the profit to issue currency. How much good it would do Is a "Currency Issue probably T would be used to pay off the public ' Et That would be the logical thing to do. In that case, the money would only replace existing bond. In banks and insurance companies now Sy overloaded with money. How ! It might create an inbflatlonary Phenology nd thus stimulate buying. This is just one of the plans being tsnTed ofiln fact. It lathe only logl , inflationary plan being discussed.

SERIOUS RIFT IN Administration Officials Ad mit Differences of Opinion But Predict An Early Settlement of Dispute Johnson Means "No" BETHANY BEACH, Del., Aug.23. (AP) Hugh 8, Johnson used five words today to deny there had been a split between him and Donald Rlchberg and Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins over NRA policies.
