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

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.
The NRA administrator was In
formed that reports of a sharp dis
pute in high command of his In
dustrial recovery campaign had
been published In Washington. He
plied:
"1. No break.
"2. No further comment."
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (P) Ad
ministration officials concerned with
reorganization of the NRA agreed to
day there had been differences of
opinion over transforming the emerg
ency machine Into a more permanent
outfit, but predicted an early settle
ment. While refusing to be quoted, these
officials said they felt published re
ports that a serious rift had occurred
between Hugh S. Johnson on the one
hand and other presidential advisors,
including Donald R. Rlchberg and
Secretary Perkins on the other, had
gone too far.
Rlchberg, director of the national
emergency council, which discussed
the reorganization with President
Roosevelt Tuesday before the latter
left for the Ralney funeral, expressed
confidence the discussions would
"proceed to a point of definite action,
but how rapidly, I don't know."
Miss Ferklns Mum
Miss Perkins declined to comment.
Johnson and Rlchberg are expected
to confer with the president tomor
row, but the latter would not say
whether he believed a settlement
would be reached before Mr. Roose
velt left for Hyde Park.
Johnson was on vacation today at
Bethany Beach, Del. He denied there
was a break. . .

Liberty League s Plan to
Act as New Deal Umpire
Holds Political Threat
Al Smith Among Major Party Leaders
Who Hope to Curb Radicalism;
Deny Anti Roosevelt Aims
.
By EDWARD J. Dl'FFY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 33. (AP) The American Liberty League began
laying foundations today for a campaign across the continent to recruit
3,000,000 to 4,000,000 property owners to Judge the New Deal.
Avowedly non-partisan and "not anti -Roosevelt," tt set out to com
mand all possible Influence In the wanning debate over whether the ad
ministration Is "robbing Peter to pay Paul."
At the head stands leaders In both
major parties popularly Identified as
"conservatives;" Alfred E. Smith and
John W. Davis, Democrats, who lost
the presidency to Hoover and Cool
idge; James W. Wadsworth and Na
than L. Miller, Republican strong
men In New York.
Shouse Tells Alms
Already there are rumblings of
"liberal" arraignment of the move
that Jouett Shouse announced last
night as one to combat "radicalism."
It was he who described the league
as "not anti -Roosevelt," but rather
Intended to serve as a forum and a
foroe before congress for those who
want to guard their personal and
property rights.
A week ago he told President Roose
velt about It, In words like these:
."The league will become a real factor
In assisting toward recovery and the
restoration of prosperous conditions
for all our people."
That the president hardly would
take exceptions to the announced
goal Is accepted. It also Is certain
he Im aware of the political poten
tialities. Two-Fold Purpose
The leagues purposes are two-fold
under the heading: "To defend and
protect the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. Data will be disseminated
to each:
1 "The necessity of respect for
the rights of persons and property
as fundamental to every successful
form of government;" and
3 "The duty of government to en
courage and protect Individual and
group Initiative and enterprise, to
foster the right to work, earn, save,
and acquire property, and to preserve
the ownership and lawful use of prop,
erty when acquired."
