WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. Some ol
the wisest political lawyers here have
the gold case all figured out now.
They are expect
ing a auprema
court decision
validating the
gold abrogation
domestically, but
invalidating It
1 n t ernatlonally.
This mean the
court would say
domestic bond
holders may be
paid in currency,
' but foreign hold
ers of American
bonds must be
In gold.
PAIL M.tl.l.ON
Certain of the most prominent con
stitutional authorities seem to be so
aure of this that they arc willing to
bet their aged right arms on It. They
reason thus:
The gold abrogation made little
difference to Americana. The only
ones who really suffered were the
foreign holders of American bonds.
They must take the loss from result
ant depreciation of exchange, whlc.i
la the full loss from dollar valuation.
Tha the court la thinking aloru;
these lines la evident from a question
asked by Chief Justice Hughes and
the additional fact that tnc court
called for the world court decision
In the Brazilian bond case. It Is
true the Brazilian case is not a dead
ly parallel, but, nevertheless. In that
decision the world court ordered pay
ment of foreign bondholders In gold.
Such a decision would settle the
whole matter with the least possible
Injustice and trouble. It would cost
the U. S. government only about
.to.ooo.ooo to aeo.ooo.ooo to pay oft
foreigners In gold. They are the only
ones who could keep the gold, any
way. In view of our domestic antt
hoarBIng act.
Of course, no one knows In ad
vance what court decisions are going
to be. Jail has been provided as a
tit resting place for those who. on
various past occasions, thought they
had found out.
Nearly every well-lnlormed man
here will tell you the odds are log
ically 100 to 1 against the court In
terfering with domestic gold abro
gation, but, at the ame time, no
bets are being made.
It was the day-to-day traders In
Wall street who started crying and
selling when the gold case came up
The shrewder big bankers did not.
The bankers had a perfect oppor
tunity to make a profit by sending
gold abroad while the knees of the
small-time traders were shaking. They
decided privately against It, figuring
that by the time the ships got to
Europe with the gold, the weaker
knees would again be stable here, and
consequently no profits would be
available.
A well-known halfback on Presi
dent Roosevelt's new deal football
team alwavs likes to talk in pipkin
terms. He never has let anyone for

casionally likens the new deal to a
