BY MAX BUCKINGHAM United Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—The stock market opened slightly higher today with trading fairly quiet. Cotton was 60 to 75 cents a bale higher. The entire tone reflected inflationary interpretations placed on President Roosevelt’s money policy. The United States dollar continued weak in relation to other foreign currencies. Resignation of the French government, possibilities of which led to some sell-off Saturday and again near the close yesterday, did not detract from the stronger optimism in the financial district. United States Steel, Du Pont and American Can, three of the leading industrials, led the market forward. Steel’s gain of IVi could be traded to a belief some rail buying might come in as result of the revision downward on steel rails. Du Pont’s gain of 1% points was due to the excellent earnings report available today. American Can, gaining 2% points while selling ex-dividend, felt the effects of strong buying. Mining shares again were strong with Home Stake adding 12 points to its 40-point gain yesterday. Repeal issues, which underwent rather heavy selling in the closing hour yesterday, came back fractionally this morning. Rails were fractionally higher while Chrysler and General Motors gained fractionally as Auburn dropped a half point.

—Today and Tomorrow Failure to Control the American Dollar Has Led to Difficulties in NRA Program Completion. BY WALTER LIPPMAXN
IT has been evident since the end of June that in failing to assume control of the value of the dollar in terms of gold and of sterling the administration was running into serious difficulties. During the London conference the President refused to stabilize the dollar by international agreement; the manner of his refusal, involving as it did an apparent unwillingness to take any positive action even of a domestic character to control the dollar, brought about a wild speculation in commodities and cur-
rencies which collapsed in the middle of July. The world saw that we had a currency that was neither anchored to gold nor managed by anybody. The dollar had been turned over to international speculation. These conditions played a decisive part in the misdirection of energy in the first phase of the NRA and led us into the uncomfortable position we are now in; agricultural and raw material prices fell, as the uncontrolled dollar threatened to rise in terms of sterling and gold, prices of manufacturers rose under the pressure of the NRA. Our economy which, iri the spring, had been tending to regain its balance as the prices of raw materials rose and prices of finished goods stood still, was being thrown out of the balance. The farm discontent was one symptom of the trouble; the anxiety of manufacturers, confronted with rising costs without adequate increase of volume, was the other symptom.
Within the last month it has been plain to even’ observer that the dollar could not be allowed to drift any longer. On the necessity of taking conrtrol of the dollar there was general agreement. About the manner in which control of the dollar should be taken there have been
and are wide differences of opinion. But even here there has been more agreement than would have appeared from the ardent statements of “inflationists” and anti-infla-tionists." For it has been clear that a sudden return to the fixed j gold standard and to a fixed rate of exchange was impracticable, a a a NOBODY knows enough or could know 7 enough to name the new | gold content or the new parity. They have to be discovered by trial and error, or, if you like, by adjustment and experience. It that the next necessary step w’as to set up machinery, similar to the British equalization fund, by which the gold and the exchange value of the dollar could be manipulated and directed with a view of finding the most satisfactory point. On this there have been no serious differences of opinion. Now the device which the President has adopted is, if I understand it, essentially an equalization fund. The government, through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, is to buy and sell gold in the w'orld market, as in substance the British have been doing, as the French did under Poincare when they were working their way toward the stabilization of the franc. Where the President’s plan appears to differ most from the procedure of Britain and France is in its bold disclosure of the purpose he has in view. The British and the French also had purposes; they did not announce them from the housetops. But M. Poincare deliberately chose a level tor the franc, which drastically relieved the burden of the French internal debt; he could, had he chosen, have valued the franc higher than he did. He did not choose to do so. The British, too, have had a purpose. They have aimed to reduce the external value of sterling and then to steady it. Being industrial exporters they have not wanted to raise their internal prices, but to reduce the cost of their exports in foreign markets. So we need not assume too excitedly that the United States is embarked on a policy the like of which was never known on land or sea. B U 8 Nevertheless, it must be admitted that, though the device and the purposes are not nearly so strange as they look, the manner of the President in adopting them and announcing them may have important consequences. The British and the French did what they did, quietly, step by step, and in constant consultation with the financial markets. Mr. Roosevelt has acted abruptly and, it would seem, without taking the trouble to educate the markets so that they may know how to cooperate with him. This may have the political virtue of demonstrating his dissociation from Wall street. It has the practical disadvantage that it will make the necessary support of Wall street more difficult to obtain, and furthermore that it may produce speculative movements based on ignorance, fear or hysteria, which only would confuse the working out of the policy. Nevertheless the most important thing to fix in mind immediately is that, whatever may be our theoretical opinions about money, some such system for controlling the dollar is, judging by foreign experience, a necessary step. But of course, there is more to the President’s plan than that. He has committed himself to the theory that he can manage the dollar to bring about the price level he desires. As to that, we shall see what we shall see. It can be said, too, I think, that for our particular malady, which is the disparity of the prices of raw materials, compared with finished goods, a manipulation of the price of gold may be quite effective'.Jhere is no good reason for letting fear distort a sober effort to make the experiment successful. But it must be obvious that the whole fate of the experiment depends upon the wisdom of those who administer it. (Copyright, 1933) OLD SAILING VESSEL STILL PLOWS WAVES Famous Three-Master Off on New Ocean Ventures. By United Press OAKLAND. Cal., Oct. 27.—Attempt after attempt has been made recently to sound "taps” for the Star of Alaska, famous old sailing ship—-three-masted and squared rigged on all masts —but they have been unsuccessful. The Star of Alaska was formerly the British ship, Balclutha, and was built in Glasgow in 1885. Under commarki of Captain Mortensen she made the fastest run in sailing ships’ history between San Francisco and Bristol bay. After a period of activity in service of the Alaska Packers Company, the Star was allowed to gather barnacles in port here. Recently the ship gained anew lease on life when she was purchased by Frank G. Kissinger of Los Angeles. Kissinger plans to convert the vessel into a sailing aquarium, proposing to sail the Pacific and Caribbean, catching and preserving unusual specimens of marine life.

7TSQDK 8Y BRUCt CATTQN Kingdom coming,” by Roark Bradford, is one of the most appealing and completely beautiful of all the novels written about the Civil war. The story begins more than a decade before the war, when Messenger. Negro slave; Crim, his wife, and Telegram, their little son, are being transferred from their owner’s New Orleans home to his Red river plantation. It is Telegram’s growing aware- j ness and understanding of the life about him that gives us our picture ; of slave life. It was an odd life, hard to char- j acterize in a few words; by turns: brutal and kindly, heedless and ’ thoughtful, a tapestry of sunlight, melody and laughter on a background of resigned misery. All the slaves dream of freedom; some try the underground railway at the risk of their necks; others, buying their freedom out of their j savings, stay right on the plantation. And underneath It all is the unspoken conviction that real freedom can only come with death when a black coachman can drive God’s carriage down golden streets and the earth's disinherited enter their kingdom beyond the sky. This conviction remains when the war comes. The slaves never quite believe that the men in blue are going to free them. Freedom is a dream, the substance of things not seen. It can’t come on this earth. The pld plantation life is broken up; that the freedom which follows northern triumph is only a mockery does not surprise these Negroes. Their deepest belief is that to find their lives they must lose them. It is a long time since I have read so tenderly and sympathetically lovely a book as this.

PROFIT-TAKING SENDS WHEAT PRICESJ.OWER Traders Await New Action in European Situation: Liverpool Down. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unitcfl Trrs* Financial Writer CHICAGO. Oct. 24—Wheat sold off fractionally at the opening on tthe Board of Trade today, while corn and oats were steady. The tip was attributed to profit-taking after the recent bulge. Wheat at the outset was down 4 cent to cent a bushel: corn, unchanged to % cent down; oats, up 4 cent to off % cent. Trading was orderly, and there was an attitude of caution because of the uncertainties in the European situation. Liverpool opened lower on the French difficulties. Trades were looking for an advancing trend with the government launched on a campaign to raise commodity prices. Following the 19cent rise from the recent low point, wheat traders were disposed to be cautious but potential feeling appeared limited. Com was stronger with wheat and yesterday advanced around 3 cents over the previous close. Oats, too. was higher, up nearly the limit for one day, 3 cents.
