fEDFOTin MATL TRIBUNE, MEDF0R1). OREGON. THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, M35. PAGE FIVU A wiry tuccee&fu! meeting vai held by the Applrgate Irrigation and Im provement district at Murphy Wed nesday night. A Urge crowd attended and many of the perplexing ques tion were answered by watermasiera of Jackson and Josephine counties, and real progress seemed to be made in the project. Committees were appointed on the lower river and the Williams creek area, and all were enthusiastic over the relief it would afford during the latter part of the Irrigation sea son, and especially (q dry years. The earl) priorities were shown that under all Irrigation districts they still retain their priorities, which has been heretofore a moot question among them. After the district has made a pre liminary survey to show the govern ment the possibilities, the PWA will proceed with the regular survey by government engineers to secure In detail all necessary data. 1 Communications Why Gold Isn't Necesnary. Tb the Editor: Qustav Cassel. an authority on cur rency and banking, In the January Issue of the Journal of the American Bankers' Association, makes the fol lowing statement regarding the pound sterling: "As long as sterling remains a paper standard its stability must be measured by Its purchasing power as against commodities. The standard of stability la the stability of the general level of wholesale commodity prices." Since 1031 the Index prices of commodities, he states, has been very stable, ranging from the Index figure Of 103 In 1931, 102 In 1932, 101 In 1933, then gradually rising to 16 In September, 1934, while the London price of gold has risen from 84.99 shillings per ounce to 144 shil lings per ounce In September, 1934. He concludes: "As a matter oi fact the rise In the value of gold since the London conference far ex ceeds that of the general price level of commodities. This rise tn the value of gold has had a pernicious effect on the economic condition of the gold standard countries." I have not found any of the "Ox ford School of Economists" advo cating the return of England to a gold standard. England has discover ed she can maintain the stability of her currency by adding to or sub tracting from the currency stream. The amount of gold she has in her treasury haa nothing to do with IP. I was genuinely surprised, and somewhat disappointed, to read In General Johnson's article In the Sat urday Evening Post: "In a general way, the value, or rather stability, of a nation's money la based on four pillars: 1. The amount of gold It has In it treasury to back up the amount of paper money. 3. Whether it is a credit or debtor nation. 3. Whether it has a favorable or un favorable balance of trade. 4. The safety of Its fiscal policy." England's experience has proven gold la not necessary to the stability of currency. The other three factors would Influence the stability of cur rency but not control Its stability or worth. It seema to me the weighty factor In establishing the real value, or commodity value of currency (In the sterling Area, we might call tt the Sterling Value) Is the weekly spendable money, either arising from wages or incomes or spent out of savings as balanced against weekly production of goods. That is. If weekly money available for the pur chase of goods continually tends to be less than the actual normal labor value of goods produced then there would develop a stress toward lower prices of goods. If money available for purchase of goods tended to be continuously more than the actual normal labor value of goods pro duced, then a stress would be set up toward higher prices. Currency should be so Issued by a central bank so aa to correct these stresses as soon as they appear and so stabilise, or bring to rest, com modity prices. Gold should have nothing to do with it. It seems to me It will not be pos sible for General Johnson to plan any permanent cure for unemploy ment, or any great lncresse tn na tional Income, or more equitable dis tribution of national Income. If he worka from the premise that we cannot have a stabilized currency unless It Is backed by gold. If such a conclusion Is accepted then one half of our people would be doomed to live In poverty and squalor. We must have a national currency unbacked by gold, having a stabilized value in labor. If we are to have full employment of labor and a htgf enough minimum wage for common labor to Insure to each family unit a comfortable standard of living. J. C. BARNES Mrdford. Jh-iary 10.
