PAUL MALLON Naturally, all the Insldera and outsiders here have been adding up these two ominous events and getting all sorts of ans wers, Including chaos. Inflation or whatever may occur to you. The only certain thing Is that most of the current answers are likely to be wrong. No one knows the real ans wers. Including Mr. Morgenthau, who confessed as much. The way this vast Incomprehensible situation is sized up frankly by tho best fiscal authorities here la this: Mr. Morgenthau probably will be able to avoid any greenbacklng or in flationary tricks to get nle money. If he wants to. Those who know how he and President Roosevelt have worked thte money game belleva that both of them will want to. There will probably be no more tricks now with the bookkeeping gold profit. They will need that ai.BOO. 000.000 for the stabilization fund for a long time yet. There probably will be no action to open the gold market, aa asked by- the committee for -the nation. Nor Is there any likelihood of reopening the domestic gold and silver markets. One thing may be banked on. The taxes you have seen ao far are only the beginning of what you will see, after the election. Pleased and displeased fiscal au thorities who know Messrs. Roosevelt and Morgenthau thoroughly aeem to agree that both are essentially sound money men. That la. they want to spend, but spend within reason. Where the pleased and displeased have disagreed and parted is on the question of where the line of reason lies.
