And in the case of the principal agricultural commodities, a large part of our production must be sold abroad. Half of our cotton, a third of our wheat, nearly half of our corn, in the shape of lard and hog products, and an even greater pro portion of some other farm products must find their market in Europe*, Asia and South America. And so long a- the dollar was maintained at the old gold value, while all the other nations were depreciating the gold values of their own moneys, the prices of our goods tended to get lower in terms cf dollars, higher in other cu: rencies. Dollar and I'rices. We had a little ta.-te of what these international prices t meant, last Spring, when the President declared an embargo on gold. Immediately the dollar began to drop in terms of the pound, and other foreign pioney, and world prices—and our dome-tic prices —of wheat, cotton and other products went up in terms of dollar-. And whenever, since then, the dollar has risen in its foreign exchange* value, prices have dropped. It is easy to ask why the dollar ha- not found its natural level in foreign trade, but the answer, not yet fully understood by sotne conservative financiers, i- that it is not to the in terest of Great Britian to let this country gain any advantage in for eign trade, and the government of b ngland has seen to it that whenever ’he dollar began to drop a point be low that of the pound sterling, steps were taken to send the price of the dollar up again. Thi- has been done by means of the sterling equalization fund, opeiajting in the world money nvsu keU, managed bje the -Bank ■ ■ of England in collaboration with the British Treasury. Whenever the dol lar gets too high to suit the British interest-, the equalization fund goes into the world markets and bids it up. Our Move Now. So far nothing ha s been done by the United States t:> offset this. But Mr. Roosevelt’s announcement that the Federal government will estab lish its own free gold market coupled with the declaration of policy to oper- cheapened dollars, it will be fairly ea-y to raise domestic prices, since they will no longer he disturbed vio lently by attacks upon the dollar from other nations.
