Thin ru mora hare been floating around, sug gesting that the administration may unrtertAkit ftirthpr dollar devaluation or at least stage a silver - buying plurge, now that congresa la out of the way. These appar ently emanate from the boom boys, that as sorted group of monetary Infla tionists which has not been ac tive lately. Every once In a while tbev burst forth with an Inside pressure drive on the administration. From private letters they have been writing to officials during the last few days. It seems they are nearing the bursting point again. There la not a grain of a chance that their hopefully circulated gold eilver rumors will etir up any action. The new dealers may continue to act mysteriously in public about their monetary intentions, but their minds appear to be definitely made up. at least as far aa the next few months are concerned. Those who advise the highest of llcll. consider that further devalu itlon now would be like trying to collect rainwater In a straw hat. You could do It, and you would attract some attention doing It, but It would not accomplish any real purpose. All the last devaluation accomp lished was a tremendous Increase In Import, of gold. Last year these amounted to a billion dollws, rough ly. This year they are higher. During the first six months th-y amounted to $700,000,000. They will reach a bil lion and a half before the year-end. Aa far as commodity prices are con eerned. nothing was accomplished, except in respect to those few prices which are fixed In the world mar ket. Stabilization also Is Impossible now In view of the European situation, but devaluation would make It even more Impossible. Therefore you may be reasonably confident that the monetary' situation will remain right where It Is for the excellent reasons that the administration cannot fig ure out any other good place to take It. Tha silver auxiliary of the boom bovs" band la planning some high notes, which you may hear shortly. The senate committee appointed to Investigate the silver policy Is sup posed to be angling for a rabid New York sliver promoter as official or unofficial adviser. He Is a man of whom his friends say admiringly that he "made a million dollars" out or silver since the depression," which may or may not be true. Senator Fittman Is chairman of the Investigators. He Is also the big gest Inside Influence In the sliver policy. Thus you may confidently an tlclpate that the Investigation will only add glitter to the silver pro, gram, no matter who becomes Its ad viser. The treasury lately haa been buy ing silver on a price rather than a volume basis. That is. It Is not at tempting to bid up the market, but to absorb whatever volume Is avail able at the chenpest reasonable price.
