And on June 3 ave his Another For Term (Seattle Times) John W. Troy has been nominated by the Presi- dent for another term as governor of Alaska. why not? He has made a good governor, and there is no conceivable reason why he shouldn’t stay on. It so happens that Governor Troy is about the first and only territorial executive who truly qualifies as an Alaskan. It happens, too, that as a native of Wa: ington, a product of this state’s schools and news- paper offices, his knowledge of Alaska predates even he time when he began to devote his énergies wholly t¢ territorial development and upbuilding. It would se difficult indeed to find the man better suited to he job. As ’l'n A ln\\er Price For Gold (New York Times) | Recent report on world economic conditions, sub- | nitted to the Bank for International Settlements at| 3asle, is in the main hopeful; but it lays the greater | mphasis on those uncertainties which still exist. ! >articular interest attaches to remarks on a problem ately uppermost in the world’s markets—the confusing shenomena of international gold movemenis. That old production in-1936 was the greatest by far of wny years in history was known beforehand. The re- yort points out the anomaly that most of the gold in notion has gone to two countries, England and nited States, whose balance of international pay- ents on other accounts was I adverse, and vhose “sterilization” of the incoming gold causes urdensome expenditure. But when it comes to pro- Josing remedies, the World Bank’s report is altogether int. Control of gold production, return to cir- jon of gold coin, are virtually dismissed as im- cticable solutions. The only definite suggestion is 1e lowering of the existing price for gold, by way of estraining “overabundant production.” Even to this yroposal, the report continues, there are formidable bstacles | The anomalies s shown by the committee to exist in present situation were b national returns for 1936; we now have our own Com-! nerce Department’s report on America’s foreign trade 0 the first quarter of 1937. During those three months e imported $113,959.000 more merchandise than we xported. Oui import excess ot silver was $20,946,000, f gold no less than $395,983,000, thus creating a visible alance against us amounting to $530.888,000. It has >een customary to assume that the total balance, risible and invisible, was struck through remittance of apital from abroad. The Treasury lately estimated hat, in the full year 1936, net gold import of $1.030,000 vas offset by shipment to the United States of $1,141.- 00,000 short-term and long-term capital. There ma ave been a similar compensatory movement in 1937 nvestment of foreign capital in ¢ securities, last nonth, must have been considerably reduced; yet he preliminary estimate on April gold imports +156,000,000. The suggestion by the World Bank committee, hat the price of gold be lowered, is apparently applied o all the leading nations, There can be no doubt hat action by the United States, rarily marked up the American price for gold con- iderably more than half, would be a primary con- ide ion; but the committee's cautious and tenta- ive propesal would seem to contemplate internationai wtion by international agreement. The obstacles which it cites, even to this, are the possible disturbance o0 such equilibrium of the currencies as has already seen attained, and the danger involved of future manipulation. These considerations already exist 1owever, at least potentially, and it is.hard to indi- ;ate any rational solution, except by international conference and agreement, The need for solution is \ready great; the difficulties created by the existing situation are increasing, not decreasing, and all of the countries concerned have learned much since the JLondon Economic Conference of 1933 he rade Nebody knows how far it will get; but a bill has been prepared for New York's Legislature to prohibit men over 70 doing either physical or mental work The tendency is to make breathing after 70 a public cffense.—Toledo Blade.
