NAVY DAY Once again Americans are privileged to obesrve Navy Day, which annually occurs on October 27, birthday of the late Theodore Roosevelt who is recognized deservedly as the father of the modern American Navy The part which our Navy is playing in the present global conflict is apparent and needs neither com- ment nor elaboration. A spectacular and unpre- cedented building program and training program, despite the terrible disaster of Pearl Harbor, already | has brought the United States Navy to a point v.hcre; it is the most powerful unit that has ever sailed the seven seas. Even through the veils of censorship, the part which the floating units of our armed forces has played has produced the most colorful and thrilling | tories of the war. When victory comes, shall have a further knowledge of the part the Navy has we played The Navy has performed . brilliantly in the Pa- cific, time and time again dealing out terrible defeats to the Japanese, thwarting moves that would have been disastrous, facing great odds early in the war, but now holding the upper hand and looking for a | that " interfere with the pr any enemy or aggrei against us in any quarter any cause. the United States Navy the Navy's guns are speaking for themselves. The Gold Standard (New York Times) possible after the close of the war. “It is our belief,” or suggested is so sound or free markets annd private ownership of gold, and currencies freely convertible into gold, both for domestic use and shipment abroad.” It is important that this view should be asserted boldly and unequivocally at this time. in essential' agreement with the proposal last spring of Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of the Chase Na- tional Bank, that at the earliest possible moment a ‘free dollar” be established in the post-war world. The same proposal was made recently by the economic re- tion: “The first requisite for any genuine progress toward stabilization is a stable dollar free of all exchange restrictions, a dollar in which the world has full confidence.” The A. B. A. commission went on to declare that “the second step should be to establish rates between the dollar and the pound sterling.” While the Guar- anty Trust does not go into the question of the relative rates to be established, it goes farther than the A. B. A | commission in recommending the restoration of the gold standard for the whole world—except that where | abnormal conditions may make an immediate return | to the free gold standard by some nations impossible, | it suggests that such nations could resort temporarily | to the gold exchange standard, whereby countries with | inadequate gold reserves “tie” their currencies to those | based on gold. | It has become fashionable to speak of the “fail- |ure of the gold standard.” The Guaranty Trust points out in reply that the real failure has been that |of a credit structure overcxpanded either by unsound Government policies or by a general’ ex¢ess of op- timism. The bank admits that many conditions are needful to keep the gold standard sound: “balanced budgets, reasonable tariffs and trade regulations, avoidance of central bank and Treasury operations e reactions ossential to the operation of the gold standard and, in general, governmental policies that promote business con- fidence instead of destroying it.” It adds that if such sound policies are followed, the gold standard can work successtully in the future as it did in the past. - But if such policies are not followed, “international trade and finance will break down under any conceivable system.” These positive recommendations in themselves point almost as clearly as could any detailed analysis to the fundamental weaknesses of the Keynes and‘ White plans for exchange stabilization, put out on behalf of the British and American governments. It is not merely that these plans are needlessly elaborate r that may or can be raised from any source or for Today has been set aside as a day for honoring And today, in all waters, it declares, “that 16 method of stabilization yet devised so easily operated as the international gold standard—with free coinage of gold, 1t is policy commission of the American Bankers Associa- | OCTOBER 27 Mus.
