That la not the

PAUL MALLON cally. That Is
why Messrs. Hull and Morgenthau
can afford to be so free In their
ploua public expressions.
Their financial advisers have told
them' It la impossible, and that the
developments In Europe lately have
made It even more Impossible. In
fact, the real Inside trend of thought
lately has been far beyond eucn
orthodox procedure. There has been
a revival of Inner Interest In the
possibilities of "an International
currency other than gold" and In
the forgotten Ideal of the new deal,
the commodity dollar. i
- These are not to be . taken very
seriously either as yet, except aa they
reflect the remotenesa of the old
faahloned Ideaa of atablllBatlon In
the new deal mind.

of course, considered out of the

If trade balances could be cancelled

The Inefficiency of gold aa a
method of payment Is being con

the stability of the dollar la drain

The question Is what the rest of the
world will use for international hj

You may suspect this would en
murRM the other nations to be
drawn Into some atablUzatlon ar
rangement. The reverse Is true.
Their gold weakness would place
them at a disadvantage in any goj

Thus, the gold dog continues to
the trade cat in an ever
diminishing circle, getting nowhere
