Monetary Policy Issue Involves Question of Whether Creditor or Debtor Will Be Favored. Bv RALPH HENDERSHOT
Timet Special Financial Writer Stripped of all of its frills and pressed down to Its bare fundamentals, the question to be decided by President Roosevelt in determining his monetary policy Is whether he will favor the creditor or the debtor or whether he will attempt to do his best by both. Inflation is essentially a boon to the debtor class. Credit expansion Is designed to help creditors primarily. A little of each might help both debtor a: creditor. If it is to be effective in raising prices the currency of the country
must be diluted to the point where holders of coin will discard it in favor of tangibles. In effect, this would tend to reduce debts, because the debtor would be able to pay off his claims with dollars to which a certain amount of "water” had been added. If business is increased through credit expansion, creditors probably could be paid off with undiluted dollars. If the credit is made available by the government, the chances are that the results will be a shifting of the credit account from private to federal strong boxes. In other words, those who now oweindividuals will wind up owing the government. a a a Inflation Cuts Debts In the case of inflation debts are, in effect, reduced. In the case of credit expansion debts are increased. The chief danger of inflation is that debts may be almost completely wiped out. The chief criticism of credit expansion is that debts already are too heavy and the situation can not be helped by adding
Ralph Hendershot
to those debts. Advices from Washington indicate that President Roosevelt, who has the final say in the matter, listened first to the debtor side of the story. Now he is said to be lending his ear to the creditor side. Both sides are now awaiting a definite decision on how he will handle the situation. To date, since the President took office, the debtor class has been favored. By suspending gold payments the dollar already has been cheapened .and the price of tangibles has been increased. Other measures, including the NRA program, have been designed to raise prices so that debt payments may be more easily met. a a a Creditor Class Also Helped The creditor class also has been given consideration, however, and stands to be helped further by new plans. The railroads have been loaned money with which to pay'their interest charges; the government has made arrangements to bail out holders of real estate mortgages, and now it proposes to loan money to banks with w'hich to pay off creditor depositors. It may be assumed that no one would like to see the dollar go the way of the old German mark, although it is obvious that a vast volume of "water” would have to go into the dollar before it could be diluted to that extent. By the same token, no one would like to see industry loaded with so much debt that it could never hope to get out, even though the government did happen to be the creditor. It is small wonder that President Roosevelt is taking his time about announcing a definite monetary policy.

BY ELMER C. VVALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Oct. I.—Traders In financial and commodity markets yesterday interpreted the government’s refunding program as an indication of a sound money policy. They sold stocks, low-grade bonds and commodities, and bought high grade U. S. government, industrial and utility bonds. The American dollar soared to above 68 cents in terms of the French franc, against a recent low of 63.71 cents. Stocks dropped 1 to 5 points with volume increasing near the close as blocks of 1,000 to 10,000 shares were dumped overboard. Gold Off Sharply Wheat broke the limit of 5 cents a bushel and closed on the lows. Corn lost 2% to 3Vs cents a bushel. Oats lost the limit of 3 cents a bushel. Rye lost 4% to 44 cents a bushel. Barley lost 2% to 3% cents a bushel. Cotton futures dropped more than $1 a bale to new lows on the current movement and new lows since Sept. 13. Silver spot was down 4 cent an ounce, while futures made wider declines. Gold broke sharply in London and the treasury price was down 29 cents an ounce from Wednesday’s quote. Metal shares were heavy losers as were the wet stocks. Steels were weak. Rails dropped rather sharply. Utilities held fairly well but they were lower than the previous close. Oils reacted downward. New Lows Made At their lows Allied Chemical was at 138, off 54; American Commercial Alcohol 58, off 3%; American Smelting 38%, off 34; Celanese 47%, off 2%; Chrysler 414, off 3; Commercial Solvents 36%, off 24; Du Pont 754, off 2%; Homestake Mining 320, off 17; Howe Sound 25, off 34.

WEEKLY LIVESTOCK REVIEW
(For Week Ending Oct. 13) By United States Department of Agriculture Cattle Marketing of cattle at Indianapfills expanded some in numbers and there was a two-way slant to the trade. Good and choice grades of steers, heifers and cows were wanted at all times and sold steady to a few cents higher. Other grades, including a lot of barnyard cleanups, found a slow outlet and usually received a small discount, probably not as much as they deserved when considered from either the slaughter or feeder viewpoint. Summarized in a few words, good cattle of all kinds were wanted. Others not attractive to even the speculative buyers. Steer run included a large percentage of good and choice cattle of all weights. Lightweights had first call and sold 10, 15 and 25 cents higher. Good steers with weight also sold steady or better to shippers and local packers. But anything lacking finish on condition, or reflecting roughness in conditioning from anv cause were hard to sell and closed 15 to 25 cents under last week. Bulk of the desirable steers scaling more than 1.100 pounds sold from $5.90 to $6.50, lighter weights. $5.25 to $6.35. Top of $6.50 was not infrequent and was awarded to choice of 1,050 to 1.365 pound selections. Plenty of fair killers were assembled under the $5 mark and down to 53.50 and less for very common kinds. No price change was noticeable in this section and only killing sheets will measure their actual worth. Better grade heifers sold up to steer prices this week, on a weight and grade basis, a condition very unusual at this market. A small lot of 702-pound heifers sold at peak of $6.75. several loads $6 to $6.50. All this compares with the steer deal, in that the top end gained ground while others worked downward. Some heifers cashed from $5 to $5.65 and the extreme bottom dropped to $2.50 and less. Cows sold close to the late low levels, probably some strength on better grades, but no change on others. Bulk $2 to $3, low cutters and cutters $1 to $2. Vealers lost a dollar Saturday but have gained a little from day to day this week, closing in about the same position as last Thursday. Bulk for the week, good and choice. $6.50 to $7.50; common and medium, $3 to $5.50. Hogs The hog market collapsed in no uncertain wav this week. After advancing by stages to a peak of $5 50. the recession was almost as rapid. There was nothing in total marketings here or around the circuit to explain the sudden drop. However, shippers, packers and all the trade dropped into a slump or considerable proportions. Light supplies at the close of last week raised the price level 10 to 15 cents over Thursday of last week, and retained the top of $5.50. A general decline of 10 cents Monday was followed by a 20cent loss Tuesday. Wednesday s condition was worse and a flat 25-cent reduction was applied on all weights. This brought all hogs below the $5 mark. . Probably more important that the sharp drop in price, was the indifferent attitude of all trade interests. Perhaps this was less indifference than a desire to remain within trade requirements. Dally holdovers in first and second hands were the rule this week and that condition is unusual at Indianapolis. For the week the average loss is 35 cents or more. SHEEP There was some improvement in lamb marketing conditions this week and late prices were 25 to 50 cents above those prevailing last Thursday. Starting with a $7 top Monday which was 25 cents under Friday of last week, there was enough action and competitive buying to gradually raise the practical top to $7.50. with an extreme peak of $7.75. For the first four market days this week, good ewe and wethers sold from *7 to si.so. with $7.25 paid most frequently. Some unsorted lots cashed from $6.50 to 87. and bucks were usually sorted at $8 to $6.50. Throwouts sold down to 84. anything below that price having little if any commercial value. Fat ewes. tI.M to 82. M as a„ru*e.
PORKER PRICES GAIN 10 TO 35 CENTSAT PENS Cattle Market Scarce and Steady; Veals Show Strength. Porker prices moved upward in a wide range from 10 to 35 cents at the Union Stockyards yesterday. Weights from 10 to 260 pounds were 10 to 15 cents higher, while heavy grades weighing 160 pounds up sold at 25 to 35 cents above the previous session. Underweights remained unchanged.

Light lights weighing 100 to 130 pounds sold at $3.75 to $4.25. Receipts numbered 3,500; holdovers, 1,138.

U. S. Has Endured Twenty Years of Stress With Future Hinging on Revival of American Spirit. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
THE following is part of the text of an adaress by Walter Lippmann yesterday at the New York Herald Tribune third annual women’s conference on current problems: The general subject of the conference is “This Crisis in History.” It is a large subject. For a hundred years and more men will write books explaining why, in the first half of the twentieth century, there was so great a crisis in human affairs; they will describe what happened, and will deduce what it meant. They will disagree ferociously with each other, and they will come to no conclusion which every one accepts. After all, there
is as yet no final accepted history of the Peloponnesian wars or the fall of the Roman Empire or of the Reformation or of the French Revolution. So it is unlikely that you or I or the minister of public enlightenment in Berlin or 'the press bureau in Moscow or even Senator Huey Long, for that matter, will, in our time, fully comprehend the meaning of the crisis through which we are living. St. Augustine, long ago, described the difficulty. Suppose, he said (I am quoting from St. Beuve’s account), that a single syllable of a great epic poem, Homer’s Iliad, for example, were for a moment endowed with life and soul. Could this .syllable understand the meaning and general plan of the poem? At the very most, it might understand the meaning of the line of which it forms a part, and of the three or four preceding lines. For a long time now most of us, I imagine, have been
talking to ourselves. This has been a long crisis. For those of us who are now in middle age virtually the whole of our adult lives has been spent amidst the disturbances, the threats and the dangers of this crisis that we are to talk about. There were a few years, say from 1924 to 1929, when it seemed as if the earthquake of 1914 was over, that the
ground beneath our feet had ceased to tremble and that in our western world at least the destruction was being repaired, the wounds were healing and men had resumed the works of peace. We now know that this was an illusion, that there was only a temporary lull and that then there came upon us convulsions greater than any for which we were prepared. Thus for twenty years, with only short intervals of comparative calm in which to catch our breath and compose our spirits, we have lived in the storm and stress of immense and incalculable events. Not every generation goes through an ordeal of this kind. nun The generation which has been passing through the ordeal of this crisis is shocked, weary and nervously spent. It has been frightened by blow after blow for which it was unprepared, bewildered by events which it could not understand, disappointed as one fair hope and one fair promise after another has been dashed to pieces. It is this state of mind which is really the dominating fact of the crisis. If men all over the world were calm, collected, willing to listen to reason, or at least willing to trust leaders who follow reason, it would not be difficult to make all the necessary adjustments to insure peace and set the world’s economy going. There have been plenty of projects proposed which would have worked in a world where men were disposed to accept them. They have not worked because they were submitted to people who were too frightened, too hysterical and too distracted to understand them and to co-operate in realizing them. a a But by the time recovery had begun, there had been such an accumulation of misery and fear, the morale of the people, their confidence in their leaders and in the accepted policies, had been so strained beyond the limit of Endurance that they coul not wait patiently for the very slow processes of recovery to work themselves out. In the United States, to speak only of our own affairs, patience was exhausted, panic seized the people, and the recovery of the summer of 1932 was not only halted, but turned by a popular stampede in the winter of 1933 into something very near to a catastrophe. By the end of February all enterprise was paralyzed, all confidence was gone. So deep and so widespread was the demoralization that recovery by the old method of individual initiative and piecemeal adjustments had become impossible, There was not merely a financial panic. There was a political and moral panic. In every town the banks were closed. In almost every large city the treasury, out of which the unemployed had to be fed, was empty.

Lippmann
In Washington, congress and the executive were in a hopeless deadlock. Nowhere was there any organized power standing around which the people could rally. a a tt It was under these conditions that the new administration took office. Now what was it that had to be done? Was it possible to pass laws to end the crisis? It wasn't. Only the most innocent and uninfromed imagine that the President, the Democratic party and the famous “brain trust” had a plan to end the depression. In the hundred days from March to June we became again an organized nation confident of our power for our own security and to control our own destiny. It was a triumphant achievement. The secret of the American attack on this crisis does not lie in the NRA, or in the agricultural act, or in the inflation, or in any of the other specific policies that have been adopted. It lies in the revival of the American spirit through the conquest of fear. Let us not forget that. Let us not fall into the dangerous illusion of thinking that victory or defeat depends upon any one of the measures which now are being administered. These measures will not all of them work well. Some will have to be amended. There will have to be other measures added. There will have to be changes of policy. There have been mistakes. There will be more mistakes. But just as no policy is a panacea, so no failure is a disaster, provided only the government and the people hold fast to the conviction that we have come out of the worst of our dangers by overcoming our own demoralization, and that it is our purpose, our discipline, our readiness to act and yet to listen which alone can carry us through.

HEAVY SELLING SENDS FUTURE PRICESLOWER December Wheat at Lowest Level Since June in Closing Sales. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United l’rc* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—Liquidation set in on the grain markets again yesterday with the east a steady seller of wheat. At the inside figures, December wheat sold below 80 cents for the first time since around the middle of June. Weakness in Liverpool had some effect early, but later the market was dominated almost entirely by liquidation of long green. Corn and other grains were affected by the action of wheat, although declines were not so • pronounced. Because of commission house and local buying, corn developed independent strength. Wheat Off Nickel The first car of new white corn was received from lowa and sold at 35% cents, 6% cents under December. At the close today wheat was off 4 T s to, 5 cents; corn was down 2% to 3 cents, and oats was off 3 cents. The depression in the grain market drove down to provisions. Pronounced weakness in Liverpool brought pressure to bear on the wheat market at the opening and prices dropped as much as 3 cents early. Stop loss orders uncovered on the way down accelerated the decline. The cash price was 3 to 4 cents lower and. receipts amounted to 25 cars. News Is Offset Constructive news was offset by the action of wheat and corn dipped in sympathy. Cash sales were 150,000 bushels during the first few minutes of trading. This ordinarily would have created a bullish sentiment. Bookings were 100,000 bushels during the morning. The cash price was 1 to 1% cents lower and receipts were 572 cars. Oats was in sympathy with the general movement in other pits and at the extreme during the morning was off as much as 1 cent. The cash price was % to 1% cents iewer and receipts were 37 cars.
