Wall Street Fight Between Bankers and Administration Over Money Policy Reaches Serious Proportions. ~ By RALPH HENDERSHOT Tim** Special Financial Writer
Any one who has been following developments carefully realizes by this time that one of the most severe fights In history has begun over the country's monetary policy. The leading bankers of the United State* have lined up in opposition to President Roosevelt and his monetary advisers, and, while several skirmishes already have taken place, it is reasonable to assume that the real important engagements are yet to be seen. Stripped to its barest essentials, the fight revolves around the question of whether creditors or debtors are going to be favored in meeting the cost of business recovery. President Roosevelt has taken the stand,
in effect, that creditors, which include primarily those of greatest wealth, should stand the greater part of it. The bankers and others, who would be the hardest hit, want all depts paid so far as possible. They apparently also desire the government indirectly to make good on some of the debts and pass the cost along to everybody in the form of taxes. The President is attempting to deflate the buying power of the dollar. But apparently the only way that can be done at a time like the present is to reduce its gold content. This reduction is, in effect, an indirect tax, nan Fight Not Surprising It is not surprising that most of those with large amounts of wealth should fight the President’s action. This wealth and thp returns from it when prices were at their lowest would buy twice as much in the way of commodities as it did in 1926. It will still buy one and one-half times as much as it did

Ralph Hendershot
in 1926, despite the fact that the government’s monetary policy against which they are making the fight has reduced the good value of the dollar to around sixty cents. Os course, there is no special reason why 1926 prices, which were 1 admittedly high, should be re-established, except that a large percentage of the debts which are now outstanding were contracted when prices i were in the 1926 area. The idea of the scheme is to balance debts with ability to pay as nearly as possible. We had reached a point where the debts of the people could not be paid, and the attempts to collect them had wrought havoc with the entire economic structure. People who had nothing to do with contracting the debts were being thrown out of work, and they, in turn, were being rendered unable to meet their obligations, even when such obligations were reasonable and conservative when assumed People were not only obliged to go hungry, but they were losing the results of their savings, which had been accumulated over many years of real, honest, hard work. a a a Step Believed Necessary Few people would take the stand that it is right for the government to show any partiality between people, no matter what their financial position might be, if it were possible to avoid it'. But there are those who feel that an emergency exists at this time—that the entire economic and social fabric of the nation is threatened—and that some means must be devised by which those who have must be forced to give to those who have not. Many disagree honestly over the method by which this can be accomplished, w'hile some disagree on the basis of the principle itself.

—Today and Tomorrow— U. S. Monetary Policy Must Be Decided Without Panic: Alarmists Are Attacked. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
THE monetary policy of the United States is not likely to be settled by losing our tempers. In a crisis it is best to be cool, and they last the longest who become very calm, very quiet and very steady when conditions are critical. As for the alarmist, the despairing, the melodramatic or the excited mood, that should be reserved for those affairs which do not involve the security of great bodies of men. And, therefore, it does not seem to me that a riproaring fight about the currency will help us.
So. having pointed out yesterday what I believe tobe the greatest defect in the execution of the gold policy—that it has been launched without adequate recognition of the skeptics and critics—l should like to point out a few things which, it seems to me, the opposition is inclined to overlook. The opposition is leading the country to believe that changing the price of gold or changing the gold content of the dollar, that is to say, depreciating the currency in terms of gold, is a fantastically novel experiment. It really is not. There are just two countries in the whole world which have not raised the price of gold since the war. Those countries are Switzerland and the Netherlands. The latest figures which I happen to have are for Nov. 6. On that day the price of gold in the United States had risen 56 per cent. In Canada it had risen
<57 per cent; in England, 55 per cent; in South Africa, 54 per cent; in Argentine, 67 per cent; in Sweden. 66 per cent; in Norway, 70 per cent; in Australia, 94 per cent; in New Zealand, 90 per cent; in Denmark. 91 per cent; in Japan, 165 per cent. In France, Belgium and Italy, the countries of the so-called gold bloc, the price of gold is, of course, several
hundred per cent above pre-war. I am. therefore, unable to believe that raising the price of gold in America to a price not unlike that which prevails in most other countries is inherently damnable and absurd. It may be that there is no advantage in raising the price of gold, in lowering the gold content of the currency, but all other nations, except two very small ones, have done it. I am not aware of any agitation in any of these countries to reduce the price of gold and return to the prewar gold value of the currency. nan THE opposition is calling upon the President not to inflate the currency and to return to the gold standard. Now, I do not pretend to have a thorough understanding of | the Warren theory, but I under- | stand it enough to know that it is in no sense of the term a theory of paper or fiat or greenback inflation, and also that it is based wholly on a determination to return to a dollar convertible into gold. Every calculation in the Warren doctrine assumes a gold currency; in fact, Professor Warren can more justly be charged with minimizing the effect of deposit currency than with failure to realize the importance of gold. Indeed I believe it to be accurate to say that the only point on which Professor Warren differs from those who wish to stabilize immediately on gold is this: Those who want immediate stabilization do not seem to care whether the price of gold is $25 an ounce or $33; they want stablization at any price. Professor Warren, on the other hand, believes that the price is very important, and, presumably, that the right price lies somewhere between $36 and S4O. His calculations seem to have persuaded him that in relation to our debts, wages and other fixed charges, we need a currency rather nearer the present value of the Australian, Danish and New Zealand currencies than the present value of the English pound. He may be wrong. But in seeking a level appropriate to American conditions he is doing exactly what practically every one else has done who has managed a currency anywhere in the world. So it would seem that the intelligent thing to do is to examine his data and find out whether his judgment as to how the dollar should be valued is or is not reasonable. It may be that Professor Warren overestimates his ability to calculate exactly the value of the dollar. It has been my impression that he does. But the road to stabilization can only be taken by coming to a conclusion as to what is the
Carriers Fail to Receive PWA Loans for Repairs
Billion Dollars Needed for Modern Improvements on Railroads. By Scripps-Howard, newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—American railroads have 228,277 freight cars awaiting heavy repairs. The Class I roads have only 5,522 serviceable locomotives in storage, and 10,735 engines are awaiting repairs. There are rails to be replaced, rights-of-way to improve, bridges and trestles to maintain, shop and roundhouse equipment to bring up to date. The inability of the railroads to keep up their maintenance of ways and structures during the last few years has made shop towns black spots on the unemployment map. These facts have just been reported to Public works Administrator Ickes by Frank C. Wright, whom he recently made director of the transportation loan division of PWA. | And at the same time Director! Wright reported that his plan for! lending more money to railroads for maintenance work was progressing. For more than a year now, experts have claimed that the railroads could spend a billion dollars bringing their maintenance up to date. Provision for making PWA j loans to the carriers was inserted in! NIRA, passed last June. Thus far $135,000,000 has been loaned for this purpose. I t is Director Wright’s job to see that more jobs are provided in the railroad industry by promoting more loans. It was in the pushing of his program that he made his report to the administrator. Excerpts from it follow: ' By loaning money on security to railroads to be used in repairing locomotives and freight cars that have long been out of commission and awaiting repairs, many men j can be moved off of relief rolls and jon to pay rolls immediately, and full time employment can be provided on justified work for many other men who have had only intermittent work for many months. “Many railroad shop towns have been black spots on the unemployment map, for all roads have been forced to cut repair work on motive power and rolling stock to the bone for the last three years. Many
i right American price at which to stabilize. nan 'T'O denounce “inflation” is a very | good thing, but it is not relevant | to this crucial question. Another poiiit of some collateral j interest which is overlooked by the opposition is the social philosophy of the Warren school. Because his theories fall within the general classification of a “managed currency,” it is generally assumed that he is an exponent of a "managed economy.” The contrary is true. Here, for example, is what his colleague, Professor Pearson, had to say a few weeks ago: "Recovery calls for such an extension of government activities as to endanger our type of economic and political system, or else requires a rapid rise in prices so that an economic system based on profits from individual enterprise can function.” It is no secret that the Cornell economists have had very little sympathy for, and are in fact profoundly critical of, most of the NRA, of the A. A. A. of the public works program, of the large debt program, in a word, of the collectivist tendencies of the Columbia branch of the brain trust. And it is evident enough that the present ascendancy of these Cornell economists dates from the demonstration that the NRA and A. A. A„ however valuable they may be as measures of permanent reconstruction, were not able to promote recovery. All these considerations do not prove that the Warren gold policy is sound. I do not know whether it is sound. But they do show that it is entitled to sympathetic exposition and study, and they suggest that before a campaign of denunciation is organized it would be useful to have a campaign of education. I do not see why the President does not do' something to help the people to understand his policy. It would be ever so much better than calling them Tories.

shops have been closed down en-! tirely for long periods, while others have operated on part-time basis. This has been the cause for ! deep concern on the part of rail managers who have given their shop men all the employment possible with the funds at their command. “By deferring repairs that should have been made, the railroads have built up a large backlong of employment. Its size is indicated by the fact that on Jan. 1, 1932, the Class I carriers had only 6,990 locomotives out of service awaiting repairs, while by July 1 of this year the number had increased to 11,203, or more than 22 per cent of all locomotives owned by Class I roads. “Monthly reports of the American Railway Association on the condition of locomotives and freight cars indicate that while current repair requirements are now being met, little has as yet been done to reduce the amount of equipment that has been stored for repair. Between Aug. 1 and Oct. 1 the number of freight cars awaiting heavy repairs was cut only 3,491, from 231,768 to 228,277.’’

FUTURES SHOW WEAK TONE IN DULL TRADING All Months Drop Fractions to More Than a Point: Sterling Down. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS I'nitfd P.ess Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Nov. 27. There was no encouraging week-end news and grains continued to fall at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Sterling was quoted sharply lower. Wheat futures were H to 1% cents lower, corn was % to % cents lower and oats were •% to 1% cents lower. Brokers felt the wheat market looked two-sided. Since the domestic demand for flour had been poor for such a long period the trade looked for a revival of interest soon. The recent break in the market, which carried prices 11 cents from the preceding week's high levels, tends to give weight to the argument, fo* millers are inclined to stock up on severe declines. Commercial demand for corn has been good for some time because buyers desire to build up stocks before the higher processing tax becomes effective. Dec. 1.
