Washington.—It may be, and possibly
Is, true that the bulk of our people
pay little attention
Gold /• to the fact that gold
Pouringln l > pouring into the
. United States In an
unprecedented volume. I * can under
stand how the wheat farmer of the
plains country or the cotton fanner of
the South or any other type of farmer
can fall to become excited over the
Influx of gold In the last five or six
months: It appears to-be a far cry
from the grain fields or the cotton
fields or the quarries or the small town
to the heavy concentration of yellow
metal to which the. United States has
been subjected. But ttie link never
theless exists. It exists as surely and
as definitely as night follows day and,
therefore. It becomes a subject In
which all of us are vitally Interested
Since the beginning of September a
widespread flight of capital from Eu
rope has manifested Itself In the shape
of. gold exports to the United States.
Three or four hundred millions of dol
lars In gold have landed here In that
time. They bring the net Inflow of
gold for the year well above $1,000,-
000.000. And, going a bit further, this
addition plus another $1,000,000,000
places our gold stocks In excess of
$9,400,000,000, or roughly $2,000,000,000
more than was held here when the
dollar was devalued under President
Roosevelt’s Instructions.
It seems Impossible to attribute this
heavy and prolonged Inflow to any sin
gle cause. Immediately after devalu
ation of the dollar, there was a steady
stream of yellow metal headed for the
United States which was due almost
entirely to a desire of American hold
ers of gold, temporarily stored abroad,
to repatriate. But even In that case,
there was a contributory factor to he

pur
considered. Monetary manipulation by
the American government had a tem
porary 'effect on our exports. Increas
ing them to some extent and It was
increasing the balance of payments due
to this country. So, we find our policies
—that Is, policies of the Roosevelt ad
ministration—responsible for the start
of the Inflow.
Later, another influence developed.
Under the pressure of American mone
tary policies, foreign powers found
their allegiance to the gold standard
severely strained'. Sliver purchases by
the treasury had an effect. The com
bination was primarily responsible for
the second rush of gold.
Subsequently, the Itallan-Ethloplan
controversy began to take serious form
and a new flood of gold to America de
veloped. This was different than that
which had Immediately preceded It be
cause this movement was related to
International conditions of a political
natune whereas the previous movement
had resulted without relation to Inter
national strife In a military way but
centered wholly upon American mone
tary policies and their effect upon
economic conditions ahroa’d.
• • •
Now, let ns consider what can hap
pen. Those acquainted with finance
recognize in the ex-
Whot Istence of a gigantic
Can Happen stock of gold—the
largest In American
history and approximately 45 per cent
of the entire world stock—the exist
ence of a potential. If Indeed It Is not
a probable, base for Inflation. There
Is so much gold held by the American
government, which holds virtually all
of the gold stocks In this country, that
no end of paper money can be Issued
against It. Those who believe In that
type of currency policies say that It
would be perfectly safe; that the gov
ernment could pay off dollar for dollar
or even more than a dollar for every
paper dollar outstanding from the gold
It holds. This school of thought con
tends that there Is actually a shortage
of money In circulation and Insists that
this is one reason why the coontry
has not recovered from the depression
more rapidly than conditions show. Of
course, a cold appraisal of that argu
ment catalogues It as the same old de
mand for inflation of the currency and
everyone knows what inflation will d*
In the way of wrecking the person who
-y^orks for wages or whose sole Income
consists of a compensation delivered
to him In the form of weekly, semi
monthly, or monthly pay checks. The
size of that check never has and never
will catch up with the increase In
prices which that individual must pay
to live.
Then, there Is another potential
danger In this tremendous horde of
gold. It Is In many ways similar to
that which I have just related. It Is,
however, more of a psychological con
dition than the first. I refer to the at-
titnde usually adopted by those who
pull for Inflation when they see a
government possessed of vast stores of
precious metals. .
• • •
In this Instance, the tangent of Infla
tionist sentiment Is Joined with the
<u/ u/ « •Ponsors of the sll-
W e twanf yer buying program.
More Monay' Th ey see all^f this
gold and silver and
they simply cannot resist the oppor
tunity tor continued howling. Their
speeches and their conversations are
almost like a college yell: “We want
more money," the more money which
they desire being nothing more nor less
than currency run off In the printing
presses of the great bureau of engrav
ing and printing In Washington.
Whether It is the first or the second
type of Inflation that Is demanded,
wonther if is the printing press money
or the money Iss'ued against gold as
security, the results are the same. It
Is to be remembered In this connection
that none of us can obtain gold from
the treasury. The Roosevelt adminis
tration demanded of and obtained from
congress legislation which definitely
prohibited payment of gold for mone
tary use by the treasury under any cir
cumstances except for the settlement
of balances owed foreign nations. But
that fact has not deferred demands by
Inflationists. They are calling and will
continue to call for more paper mone^
and with every call the prices you pay
for commodities are bound to Increase
—that Is, they will increase until or
unless there Is a release of gold again
for circulation as money.
So, It Is quite apparent that as long
as this Influx of gold continues and as
long as other nations are harassed by
monetary manipulation in the United
States, we are continually threatened
with a “business boom" which Is noth
ing less than Inflation of credit The
real danger; confronting this country,
then, lies in that direction. Summar
ized, the threat Is this: If that Infla
tionist "business boom" gets started, no
power on earth Is able or will be able
to stop It. The next and final step
after that Is complete destruction of
our currency, and medium of exchange,

CROCHETED FLOWERS
FOR POT HOLDERS
Bv GRANDMOTHER CLARK
Stirred by tlvlty on the part
Hoover former President
Herbert Hoover. His
pot shots at the New Deal In several
speeches have* agitated the Democrats
much more than they are willing to
admit and, notwithstanding assertions
of satisfaction, they have thrown a
new fear Into the laps of the Roosevelt
New Dealers.
But, If the Hoover speeches have ex
cited the New Dealers and the con
servative Democrats, they have almost
precipitated a riot among the Repub
licans of whom he must be said to be,
at least, the titular leader. The bulk
of the Republicans look npon Mr.
Hoover, because qf . these recent
speeches, as a potential Republican
nominee for the Presidency against Mr.
Roosevelt next year. They look upon
him, further, as-an Individual who Is
likely to disrupt plans that contem
plate reconciliation, a love feast,
among the various factions of the Re
publican party. They have been strug
gling to lay a base for this love feast
and because of the Intense hatred that
some of their number have for Mr.
Hoover, his activity has opened this
breach again, made It a blood-red
wound.
Political observers and commentators
have shown .all manner of excitement
because Mr. Hoover has made no state
ment whether he will or will not be a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion. In plain words, they have been
trying valiantly to conduct a cam
paign that will smoke out Mr. Hoover
and make him say whether he Is or la
not a candidate.
All of the efforts to find ont what
Mr. Hoover proposes to do have failed
and will continue to fall, even with the
underground work of the New Deal, to
bring from him a statement as to his
purposes. He will announce them In
his own good time and his statement
will be definite when It Is made.
Personally, from all of the Informa
tion I have been able to assemble, I
do not believe that Mr. Hoover has
any Intention of seeking the nomina
tion. I am convinced his purpose Is
directed wholly and completely to one
end: he fears the New Deal and he is
trying with all of the power that he
possesses to acquaint the country with
his views which are objlausly In oppo
sition to the theorles*4nd*p o H<Me9 and
experiments of the ^ew Deal. From
sources which I consider to be faith
ful, because they alwa^shaje—he^n
accurate heretofore, It Is^apfmrent to
me that Mr. Hoover desires to lend his
help In acquainting the country with
the things In the New Deal which he
regards as dangerous to our nation’s
well being and that beyond such a pur
pose he Is content to enjoy life as a
fisherman and vacationist.
But there Is another phase of this
situation which seems to me to war
rant consideration. While some of the
antl-Hooverltes have been denouncing
him, even calling him names under
their breath, Mr. Hoover has done the
Republican party a big favor. By his
attacks on the New Deal; by his con
demnation of the things In It which he
regards as certain to be destructive;
In short, by his activity which many con
strue as a campaign for the nomina
tion, he has made the Republicans con
scious of the Job they have to do. He
has awakened them and has put fight

Mugaslno, Answers.
The essential truth of the Bible Is
not dependent upon the accuracy of
Its history, and there are many paa
sages In the Sacred Writings which
must be interpreted In s symbolic
rather than s literal sense.
It is remarkable, however, how
Old Testament history, after being
labeled as "legendary," or, at best
exaggerated," bps recently been con
firmed as a result of independent re
search. *
* «
For Instance, a little while ago,
destructive critics simply laughed at
the story of the Flood, and at nuCu
Incidents as the crossing of Jordan
dryshod and the collapse of the walls
of Jericho. But today excavations
eo ancient sites In Palestine, Egypt.,
Mesopotamia, and elsewhere have
vindicated the Bible narrative com
pletely, even on the points most seri
ously challenged.
To take an example, It used to he
urged that Abraham must have been
merely a nomad, quite unlettered,
and utterly Incapable of the acts and
words and vision attributed to him.
We now know, from discoveries at
Ur of the Chaldees, that, as a youth
In that city, he was a member of a
community enjoying a high degree
of civilization. The land of Ur had
great cities, settled laws, a state re
ligion, a thriving commerce, schools
and monasteries and libraries.
Springing as he did from an in
fluential family, Abraham would par
take of the culture and learning of
Ur. In short, the circumstances of
place and time as we now know
them, are not opposed to the Bible
narrative.
But let us see what modern meth
ods of investigation have revealed
about specific Incidents. Take the
Flood, upon which so much scorn has
been cast During the winter of
1928-9, the excavators of Ur in
Babylonia came upon s stratum of
alluvial deposit which made a clear
how Israel crossed the Jordan dry-
shod. Mnffntt translates: “The wa
ters that flow down stopped and were
dammed up at a distance at Adam,
while the waters that flow to the
Halt sea were cut off and failed.”
Adam was a city 14 miles upstream.
Here there Is a ford now jenown
as Jlsr ed-Damieh, and during the
earthquake period of 1927 the west
bank of this ford collapsed, and part
of the cliff so dammed the Jordan
that no water flowed down Us bed
for 21 hours!
On three occasions during com
paratively recent times a similar re
sult has ensued from great falls of
rock and earth. It seems likely that
some similar event took place when
Israel crossed the river on their way
to Jericho.
There followed Immediately the
much-discussed and often ridiculed
collapse ot the walls of Jericho.
Professor Garstang, who Is still oc
cupled on this site, says: "There re
mains no doubt that the walls of the
city fell outward so completely that
the attackers were able to clamber
up, and over, the ruins Into the city.”
He suggests an earthquake as the
possible cause, and earthquakes have
occurred in this region recently.
Readers of the Bible know that,
although the Israelites had large
initial successes In their lavaslon of
Oanaan, they failed to subjugate the
whole land, and the Jebusite city,
which was later known as Jerusalem,
held out until the time of David. It
was exceedingly small compared with
the modern city, occupying the sum
mit of a great rock called Ophel, the
area being oot more than some ten
acres.
When David invested It,* the In
habitants felt so secure that they
said the blind and lame could hold
it against him. David said: "Who
soever smiteth the Jebusltes let him
go up the watercourse" (A. V. gut
ter).

break In the succession of civiliza
tions occupying that site. They came
to the conclusion that It could only
be explained by a flood of great ex
tent and duration, occurring about
3000 B. C. or earlier.
So, quite apart from the account
in Genesis, and the one on the Baby
lonian tablets in the British museum,
It would appear that the account of
a great flood, which destroyed cities
and people over a vast region, is not
legend but history.
The very existence of Sodom and
Gomorrah, which the Bible tells us
were destroyed In Abraham’s time,
has been doubted, yet, only last year,
an airman flying over the Dead sea
saw through the crystalline water
what appeared to be extensive ruins.
Further investigation Is to be made.
Bat other ruins have been found,
covered with ashes. In the neighbor
hood of the Dead sea.
We learn from the Bible that Lot,
Abraham’s nephew, chose the valley
of Sodom because of Its extreme fer
tility. Today there Is, perhaps, no
more desolate region.
What happened to It? In the heav-,
lly bituminous soli there probably
occurred one of those terrible ex
plosions and conflagrations which
have been noted in the similar geo
logical formations of the oil districts
of North America.
In such roll, vast reservoirs of oil
and accumulations of gas occur.
These may suddenly be released
either by their own pressure or by
earthquake The gas explodes and
flings up masses of oil which return
In a fiery rain which will go on
blazing even when It falls on water.
Saline mud may also be ejected,
and these things combined render a
fertile land utterly barren. Such a
phenomenon would account for all
the statements In the graphic Bible
narrative.
Now turn to Joshua 3:14-17 In the
Revised Version, Id which Is related
It used to be understood thuST
Whoever smites the Jebusltes let
him hurl Into the watercourse (1. a,
down the precipice) the lame and
blind.
Then excavation takes place and
makes the whole thing simple. "War
ren's shaft." named after the exes
vator who discovered It, provided the
key to the city.
This ‘shaft" bad been constructed
to form a safe, sheltered way down
the “Virgin’s Well," from which
water was drawn during a siege. So
what David said In effect was this:
"What we have to do Is to climb
Into the city by way of the water
shaft"
The appearance of Josh and his
companions took the garfrson com
pletely by surprise, the city fell, and
became the nucleus of Jerusalem,
the City a# David.
These examples suffice to show
how notably t^e Bible narrative Is
being confirmed by records long hid
In the depths of the earth and now
being revealed by modern research.

The wolf is at the door, but perhaps
he can be kept ont; and there Is al

The other fear la far more deadly
because It deals with the spirit and
feeds on the Imagination. It senses
about It some hostile force, bet does
