Rationing Now Firmly Established RAPIDLY; rhounting work in connection with war ra ; tioning has resulted in a plan for establishment of a rationing office here, and Mrs. Effie Garcelon, until now a piember of the rationing board, has been appointed executive-: secretary of the board. Mrs. Garcelon has served j-loyally and efficiently on the rationing board, and she can be depended upon for the same kind of service, as executive secretary, It .appears that the board quarters will be removed from the 'chamber of commerce quarters, where it was located when rationing was first started. This will relieve the chamber of commerce of a heavy burden which that organization readily and voluntarily assumed as an emer gency measure. The chamber has given space, lights, ' telephones and the time and effort of the chamber sec retary, who has served as clerk of the rationing board .without pay. The county court has assisted the chamber of commerce in paving wages for the staff, which has increased to eight as the work of the board has mounted. '' Rationing began as a means of allotting tires to eli gibles. Since then, it has rapidly expanded in the handling of 'j sugarsautomobiles, typewriters, etc. It now appears that rationing will be an important function in each com munity for the duration of the war, and establishment of separate rationing office with staff is necessary. The rationing board here,- composed of Don Drury, Percy Murray and Mrs. Garcelon, has given gratuitously of time and -effort 'to make the program work. We. believe strongly in-keeping this work in the hands of local citizens. jj The general purpose of rationing is to assure equity In 5 distribution of the diminishing supply of consumer gooas in wartime, it is a lair policy that must be fairly administered. The local people who have been given this responsibility have done a good job.

It took over two million years to make us what we are and still the majority of people aren't satisfied. - TV WASHINGTON, June 28 Tha house banking and cur rn?y cemmittw has been in a state of stupefaction since hear- ing recent testimony by Federal Reserve Chairman Eccles. He announced officially and persistently that our gold re serves have nothing whatever to do with the value of our cur rency, that we are completely off the gold standard. If there was stupefaction in congress, there must have been conniption fits around the treas ury at such a plain official sug gestlon that the gold (and sil ver?) buying policy was a flop, that the value of the dollar is really only what the govern ment says it is. Hep. Frederick Smtth, an Ohio republican, led Mr. Eccles up to the subject, suggesting that the country is getting near fiat money; that the war might cost $300,000,000,000; that even if the cost only gets up to $200, 000,000,000 (appropriations al ready have reached $208,000, 000,000) the question of the gold reserve becomes important. "No," said Mr. Eccles. "There was a feeling that by increasing the price of; gold, you recall, thet the increase would be im mediately reflected in increas ing the price of goods. Well, of course, that, as we all know, didn't work, so I say the ques tion of the gold reserve doesn't have any relationship to the stability of value of the cur rency." Mr. Smith: "Either bank cur rency or circulating currency?' Mr. Eccles: "No, I don't think so. Mr. Smith: "What then is the fundamental principle of the federal reserve banking act?1 Mr. Eccles: "Well, it isn't that" Mr. . Smith was obviously flabbergasted. He pleaded: "I don't believe you want to go on record as saying that. don't believe you want to say that." Mr. Eccles: "That Is right, yes, I do." Then later on: '1 do deny that the amount of the gold reserve, or the gold re quirements have anything to do with the price level, which means they have nothing to do with the value of currency. Mr. Smith: "Aren't you, in ef fect, saying there is no relation whatever of gold In this country to our currency? Mr. Eccles: "That is right." Mr. Smith: "There is no rela tion whatever?" . Mr. Eccles: "That is right." Mr. Smith: "You then take the attitude we are completely off the gold standard? Mr. Eccles: "Yes, complete ly." ; Mr. Smith: '1 am rather as tonished. It makes no difference then whether we have an ounce of gold or whether we have 700,000,000 ounces?" Mr. tccles: "It has made no difference to Russia for 20 years; no difference to Germany for a long while. Most of the countries of Europe had to give up the idea of the gold reserve. Their currencies have gone into mangled currencies . . . The Russians have mined gold as a commodity to sell to the democ racies and get foods that they wanted to get and they haven't looked upon gold as a necessary item to support their currency." In other words, gold is good for teeth and for selling to Mr. Morgenthau at the arbitrarily inflated figure of $35 an ounce, not much otherwise. Mr. Morgenthau is sitting on the world's largest amassed pile of it, and there is nothing he can do with it, except to in crease the problem by buying some more from Britain or Rus sia, which means givJng away public money for gold. Thus has the cut from old ties now been officially conced ed for the first time by the head of the banking system. Mr. Eccles has merely recog nized the obvious effects of ad ministration policy, which any reader of this column will re call having read from time to time for years back. The Important point is that it is now official. No one can be accused of being against the administration for saying the policy was a failure. The value of currency. It ap pears, is not In the hands of Mr. Eccles or Mr. Morgenthau, but In the hands of Leon Hen derson. When you read the prices of food In your grocery, you will find out the real value of the dollar these days. What this portends for post war policies, domestic and In ternational, cannot be foretold yet, but they are all rooted in the basic gold theory. Certainly this seems to mark an official end of the new deal era oi grand mechanical eco nomic formulas to control prices Indirectly by taxation, by the Warren theory, by gold or sil ver. , W.

When a soldier is away from home he can always count on the USO to inrnisn soma sort of entertain ment on his off duty hours. If this small letter is of any possible use to furthor your drive, you are wolcoma to use it, because as far as I know no soldier has written to let the homo town peoplo know what we soldiers think of the USO.
