HOOVER AND INFLATION. The Trustees of Stanford University permitted Mr. Hoover of Palo Alto to appear for them before the Superior Court of San Jose County, California, recent- ly in support of their desire to be permitted to diversi- fy their investments so as to increase the earnings ot the college endowment fund. Mr. Hoover seized on the occasion to read a written statement expressing his fears. His fears this time were of inflation. The Associated Press account records that “Mr. Hoover the snappy 1936 model Hoover. It doesn’t seem unfair to guess that this was just another political .~pow»n]“g under somewhat unusual circumstances. restrained. He said that “the question of curren inflation” was “not at present more than a menace. ‘The bank credit inflation,” he said, “has already caused a large drop in interest rates.” He thought the uni- wersity ought to be permitted to buy common stocks and real estate as well as bonds. Perhaps because he didn’t have time, Mr. Hoover didn’t enlarge on the merity of ecommon stocks and real estate as investments today, nor say why the trustees were not asking three years ago for the privilege of investing in them. This same Mr. Hoover was Presi- dent of the United States three years ago and at that time many good common stocks and much good real estate could have been bought for very much less than they are selling for today; but the same thing was true also of high grade bonds, including Government bonds. Mr. Hoover was frightened then as he is now, but he doesn’t have so much company in his fears now, and no such reason for his fears. Mr. Hoover may call what has happened “inflation,” but others give it different | the | porate profits, and rising governmental reve- nues. - Does the latter picture not look more famil- iar than the former? We had thought of writing somewhat indignantly | | of what seems to have been a transparent attempt | on the part of Mr. Hoover by his talk of the “menace” | of inflation to scare people away from buying Gov- | | ernment bonds and generally to combat confidence and $1.25 i recovery with his favorite fear and depression philos- | ‘ophy: but, after all, why not let the financial columns | ’and the financial papers deal with him? to Mr. Hoover's prediction Because we must admit that there is some evidence notify the Busincss Office of uny fsilure or irregularity | that they know what they are talking about; and as | we have no such evidence. | Arctic Colds.

TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1935 Adverse aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. Both men and women should be on guard in speech and writing. It is a most unfavorable sway un- der which to sign contracts or part- nership papers. New associations may be disappointing . The configuration encourages eon- flicts and fierce enmities. In Con- gress stubborn contests may be ex- pected. Sensational speeches will be made in political campaigns. Under this rule of the stars nc-' |cidents are numerous. Murders may ' {increase and crimes will cause mass | ! protests in many cities. Reform movements that accom- plish little will be started, but the stars warn of determined uprisings among those who observe the laws |and demand protection from evil- | doers. Mussolini is subject to aspects | foreshadowing sudden changes in | his policies and rapid development in his Ethiopian campaign. The seers predict that he will form some pow- erful alliance. Astrologers forecast a terrible class struggle in the United States which will function through labor organ- |izations and the unemployed. Nep- ! tune and Saturn are in positions pre- + saging stubborn conflict. | Humidity and heat are foretold Iror certain parts of the South with | istorms in the West which will bring | property damage in certain states, California is to welcome more tour- |ists than usual. Persons whose birthdate it is have i the augury of a year of clashes with | personalities that fail to cooperate in big plans. Small losses are probable. Children born on this day prob- ably will be determined and ag-| gressive in character. Many possess talents of an unusual order. Pere Hyacinthe, French clergy- man and writer, was born on this day 1827. Others who have celebrat- ed it as a birthday include Robert {Hoe ,inventor and bibliophile, 1839; John Playfair, Scottish mathemati- | cian and physicist, 1748.

The author of that article said this, which is rather an interesting commentary on Mr. Hoover and his fears: Webster's New Dictionary—circa 1929, and certainly not to be confused with anything that might be found in Washington in 1936—gives the definition of inflation as “an undue increase in prices.” Events through the centuries, par- ticularly since the war in Germany, Russia, France and other countries, suggest that the definition might be expanded as follows: Fear- spending because of a rapidly depreciating currency, a scarcity of goods in a market con- sisting entirely of buyers, public lack of con- fidence not only in government but also in business, and, finally, governmental resort to the printing press and the disappearance of all monetary value. Obversely, recovery might be defined: Credit base expansion—not inflation—increasing pro- duction, confident spending accompanied by the gradual but necessary advance in basic prices, increase in public savings, rising cor- ir phatégraph gives a good idea of ho Ian'.drls.. c.lmomlu": great central valley. water whi Th - farm !
