Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Signs are multiplying that there ‘will be expansion of the currency this winter. ‘There never has been a time in the history of this nation when pro- ponents of so-called “printing press” money were not plentiful, but there are indications now that the demand for some action to get prices back to} a higher level is finding support in high places. Before the recent election, a dis- tinguished commentator on national affairs is said to have predicted that, | regardless of who was elected, there would be expansion of the currency this winter. This idea was bolstered | by the announcement of Senator Borah that he favored such a scheme. In the heat of the political cam- paign it was impossible to discuss this matter in an unpartisan manner. President Hoover exhorted the nation to maintain its faith in “sound” money and gave as one of his major accomplishments the fact that this nation weathered the world financial tempest with the value of its money unimpaired. President-elect Roose-| yelt and the Democrats stood on the! sound-money plank in their platform without much elaboration or ex- planation, though denial was made that the party stood for “flat” money as it was accused of doing while the campaign was at its height. } Of particular interest since the election, however, is the declaration of Dr. Benjamin F. Anderson, Jr., economist for the Chase National Bank of New York City, the world’s largest financial institution, that the] position of the American dollar is/ now and has been at all times in’ recent years “impregnably strong. He disagrees with the president's) campaign declarations by asserting that, even at the low point reached! last August, there never was any, question about America’s ability to maintain the gold standard. ! Dr. Anderson and the bank he/ serves are not protagonists of cur- rency expansion but his statenient contains more than 4 hint of belief} that expansion could come without | undue harm to the financial struc- | ture. If the American dollar was} “impregnably strong” at the low point in August, it could carry a few billions in additional paper money without serious embarrassment, one infers from Mr. Anderson's speech. The demand for inflation now is beginning to come from business as well as from the farms. North Da- kota, through its apparent support of the Frazier Farm Relief bill, appar- ently has espoused the cause of cheaper money. The same wave of} sentiment has engulfed other farm! areas, judging by current statements) of politicians who are pretty keen at sensing the public demand. Now bustness feels keenly the same | Bem So adouden farmer. This is inability to pay! mounting burdens of debt. The farmer's problem comes in the price | of his products. In Iowa, corn which has averaged 50 cents a bushel in the past, now sells for 10 cents. It takes five times as many bushels of corn to pay a dollar in debt as it ‘used ‘to. In North Dakota 35-cent wheat makes it difficult to pay bills con- ‘tracted when wheat was $1.25, nearly four times as difficult, in fact. | This disparity has given rise to a new terminology in the farm belt. Parmers are referring to the “rubber” dollar, laying emphasis thereby on the contraction in the currency, | The word carries with it a picture vastly different than that called up {by references to the “sound” dollar. “Yet the two words are intended to \mean the same thing. ‘Whether we like it or not, and the Fy Se etE AE -o. ‘it, there seems every reason to be- {Meve that the dollar will be stretched _ fwather than further contracted, at f | the session of congress beginning next month.

By late De- cember, if the prophets are right, it! will be at about 65. H This is encouraging information and we hope the forecast comes true.) How good everyone would feel if that index got back to 100 again. The Fight Continues Anyone interested in the prohibi- tion uestion will find a recent statement of the national W. C. T. U.,! “Plans of work for the Bureau of Publicity of the National W. Cc. T. U. were delayed pending the election. They will now be forthcoming. Immediately the | W.C. T. U. assumes the attack- | ing side against liquor. “The politicians assure us that the result of the balloting means liquor, unrestrained, and with the least possible restrictions. “Now is the time to attack. They've promised to restore alco- holic beverages; make them de- ! fend their course. They've vaguely promised they don't want the saloon; and yet the saloon- keepers are preparing to sell beer by the glass for five cents. That | means the saloon; attack it.” All of which should be ample no- tice to those opposed to prohibition that any excesses under legalized liquor, if and when it comes, will be quickly noted and broadcast to the world. Even as it recognizes that prohibition is on its last legs, this message sounds anew the call to con- tinue the fight. It is premature to speculate on The Righ t o’ Way! what will happen when the prohibi- tion laws have been repealed, but one| thing seems certain. This is the fact that those opposed to prohibition} must spare no effort to set up a better system for handling the liquor traffic than did the prohibition law] —with its attendant bootlegger. If they do not, the probabilities are that the weight of public senti in ink. No reply tions. ~ PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Nov. 22, 1932 Editor, Tribune: Many a farmer's wife has found out that when it comes to selling poultry, especially chickens, unfair practices are robbing her of a good part of the money she should have. And none of these practices is putting a penny in the pocket of the consumer. Just why the price paid for certain kinds of chickens should be several cents less than for heavier kinds is hard to understand when the butcher sells Leghorns just as high per pound as heavier breeds. And when you go you which were black chickens and which were white! In fact, we understand that the av- erage family prefers the smaller bird for all but roasting purposes and & nice, plump Leghorn makes a mighty tasty fryer or broiler. Yet the farm woman receives sev- eral cents less per pound for the smaller bird that sells for the same price per pound as the larger fowl. Unless the same scale of prices pre- vail at meat markets as prevail during marketing, the consumer is not gain- ing a cent and the only one to bene- fit is the fellow who buys direct from the producer. We believe the next session of our state legislature should have some- thing to say about this matter and either abolish the present system of grading or make it fair to everybody.
