Diplomatic circles, as much puzzled as foreign exchanges by the Rocsevelt 30ld policy. are buzzing with speculation over whether Russian gold will figure in the forthcoming Roosevelt-Litvinoff conversations, The Soviet gold production is re- ported to be large, though the Moscow government has not divulged the fig- ures recently. The Lena River district, Where former President Hoover once had holdings, and other Siberian fields have been modernized. They are be- lieved to be producing far in excess of the pre-war output. Hflcent unofficial estimates place Rus- sia’s annual gold output at $40,000,000 as compared with a 1913 rate of $26,- 507,000 and a United States production level of around $50,000,000. Factors Emphasized. These considerations, coupled with a desire on both sides to expand Russo- American trade, are prompting the dip- lomatic _discussions. Certain factors are emphasized. Russia is reported ready to place or- ders in the United States for half a billion dollars’ worth of commodities and machinery if normal relations are estab- lished and credits arranged.

Some representatives of countries which have clung to the gold standard are inclined to regard the American dollar-control step with satisfaction. They interpreted it as an indication the United States plans a gradual re- urn to the absolute gold standard.

Patriotic Groups Honor Naval Hero #% A3 GOVERNMENT PAY BELOW INDUSTRY'S Babcock Tells Employes Seale in New Agencies Fixed by.Business Heads. The move afoot to bring salaries in the emergency agencies into line with those paid under the classification act in the regular Government establish- ment, thereby entailing reductions, shows the regular Federal pay scale is below that of private industry, E. Claude Babcock, president of the Amer- ican Federation of Government Em- ployes, declared last night at the monthly meeting of the District Fed- eration. “The salarles in these new agencies were fixed by big executives from the business world who were given admin- istrative positions,” ~Babcock said. “These executives put their employes on the pay roll at the same figure they would have received in private industry. It did not take the administration long to realize that these salaries, from top to bottom, were higher than the Gov- ernment levels.” The scale will be effective at the N. R. A in the pay checks received November 1. Other groups are due to fall in line as soon as an executive order is promulgated. Babcock also reported 58 favorable replies had been received in the federa- tion poll to ascertain congressional Navy day exercises, under the joint suspices of the Military Order of the World War and the National So- | sentiment on restoration of Govern- journers, were held yesterday at the statue of John Paul Jones. famous naval hero.
