WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The law
yers will be arguing from now on
about what the supreme court did
in the gold case.
The only thlntf
they may agree
on is that the
court faced tn
fact In prcfer-
, ence to the law.
In other words.
:he decision was
based on calm
icasonlng rathei
han cold consti
tutional word.
At IcaAt this Is
what .they are
paying here now
I'Al'l. MALLON
sotto voce.
It pleases a lot of lawyers who
have always believed that the letter-of-the-law
has caused much injustice
as well as Justice.
As they see It, the reasoning oe
htnd the court decision was quite
simple. When the Justices locked the
door and got down to business, they
did not call for conies of the con
stitution and thumb through it first.
They merely asked themselves the
question whether the people who
were suing the government had act
ually been damaged because the new
deal devalued the d liar.
Any fair-minded economist will tell
you the answer. They had not.
Liberty bond holders bought their
bonds, say. In 1918 with the old 100
cent dollar of that period. (That wis
the year when most of the Liberties
were sold by the government). If they
sell those bonds now, they will get
Just as many of President Roosevelt's
59-cent dollars.
The enly actual nffference to them
Is what their bond would buy in 1918
and what It will buy now, not In gold,
but in rood, clothing and such
things.
If you dig back Into the value of
the dollar in 1918, you will find It
was worth about 76 cents in purchas
ing power. That Is, prices were then
so high after the war that you could
get only 76 oents worth of food and
clothing for It.
Today the dollar will buy roughly
$1.33 In goods at the present lower
price level.
So if anyone owes anyone else In
this matter, you Liberty bondholders
would seem to owe the government
about 57 cents. At least the dollars
with which you bought your Liberties
will buy that much more today.
The figures used are from the sur
vey of wholesalo prices conducted by
the bureau of labor statistics. They
are computed on a 1926 base, with
prices that year being considered to
furnish 100 cents purchasing power
for the dollar. The average purchas
ing power of the dollar in all com
r mod ties for 1918 was exactly .762
and for 1934 it was exactly $1,333.
as shown In this recently issued sur
vey. The gold prices for the two com
parative periods are beside the point
because no American citizen now can
buy gold with his Liberty bonds or
his dollars.
There was one trick in the decision.
The reasoning lmpl!e. that the court
might hold differently in a case of
foreigners, who have suffered actui1.
damages on their Liberty bond in
vestments as a direct result of de
valuation. For Instance, a Frenchman
who paid 10,000 francs for a Liberty
bond will find it worth only about
8.000 franca now.
His Interest is worth that much
less also, when he converts it from
devalued dollars into gold francs. If
wmc Frenchman purchased Liberties
and set them aside to meet some In
trptmnAi balance, ne might have
a good chance of collecting if he sud
the U. S. government. No doubt some
will try.
Certain good authorities suspect
the court might consider other facts,
such as wether the claim of the
Frenchman should logically be made
ajratnst his own government for not
devaluing also.
A flock of rumors have been fly
ing around sutggojtin that Mr 1
Roosevelt m:ght take this encouraging
opportunity to devalue the dol.ar
further. He could squeeze nine mo.-e
rents of gold out of it If he wantM
to
There is no indication that lie will.

except to remove that minor uncer

One Angle of Los Angeles
Quadrangle' Divorce Suit
Gives Startling Testimony
Husband Denies Charge
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 30. ( AP)
Mrs. Walter W. Emerson, one angle
of a quadrangle divorce suit that In
volves herself, her husband, who la
an actor and writer, and Mr. and Mrs.
Barton Sewell, today testified that
she had been indiscreet with Sewell,
but Insisted It was with her hus
band's knowledge and consent.
Her testimony, which was before
Superior Judge Ben B. Llndsey, for
mer Denver Jurist and author of nu
merous books and articles on mari
tal problems, came after a private de
tective had described a "raid" on the
Emerson Home during which Mrs.
Emerson and Sewell were found In a
bedroom together In the small hours
of the morning.
Mrs. Emerson blushed as she des
cribed her relations with Sewell, rich
Beverley Hills resident. She told of
meeting Sewell at various hotels and
at the home of a "mutual friend."
Asked by Milton Cohen, attorney
for Emerson, If she had told her hus
band the "purpose" of the times she
went away with Sewell, she replied:
"Well, not In so many words. One
doesn't do that."
But she Insisted that her husband
knew of and approved her meeting
Sewell, Including "twice this month."
Emerson, on his part, vigorously
denied a blunt question asked by W.
I. Gilbert, attorney for Mrs. Emer
son in the contested divorce proceed
ings. "Didn't you tell your wife you
woulo; stop out of the picture If Sew
ell would pay you enough to let you
make a trip to China and set you up
In business there," he was asked.
"No," replied Emerson with vigor
and heat.

with the baby.
While the parents watched through
a window, the "cured" lad picked up
a butcher knife and slashed his

"remorseful" behind the kitchen
