HERE COMES CONGRESS! Roosevelt to Settle Dollar Policy

This is a scene which will be re-enacted when the national House of Representatives gets down to business Jan. 3. It pictures the opening last March, with Speaker Henry T. Rainey on the rostrum and Bertrand Snell of New York, minority leader, beside him.

This is the second of a series of live articles on "Here Comes Congress,” giving the background on the important issues that will be at stake when the lawmakers convene again after the NewYear's holiday. BY RODNEY DIJTCHER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—The inflation issue probably will be decided before the seventy-third congress adjourns, a few months hence. But not necessarily by congress. Tne session opens during a lull on the currency front and it now seems a safe bet that President Roosevelt will be able to keep the fate of the dollar in his own hands. When the dollar is devalued to 50 cents—as seems to be the administration’s plan—three or four billion dollars of new currency may be issued on the basis of a doubled value of the nation's gold reserve. That would be inflation of a type, but quite another picture than the spectacle of a runaway “greenback” congress, which many opponents of the Roosevelt monetary policy claim to fear. A howl for greenbacks from many western and southern members is inevitable. Its intensity and consequences will depend on the success of the recovery program and the effect of the White House currency efforts. tt tt tt VOLUME of the anti-inflation protest w-ill be similarly dependent, though the recent collapse of a solidified opposition movement leaves the issue large'y between Roosevelt and the radical inflationists except for the fact that Roosevelt will receive full conservative support in any bout with the extremists. Such conservative backing, a dependable residue of administration strength in congress and a popular sentiment which will back Roosevelt in anything he does, makes it almost certain that inflationists would be unable to pass a bill over a presidential veto. That leaves Roosevelt free to carry on his own policy, which may include concessions to inflation sentiment, such as purchase of silver for a currency base and possibly a promise of new currency based on a revalued gold reserve. The Roosevelt plan calls for raising the commodity price index to the 1926 level and subsequent stabilization which, under the Warren plan now favored at the White House, would be based and mainteined on the commodity price index. HULL SUCCEEDS IN ROLE OF DIPLOMAT Secretary of State Wins Laitn-America. Bp United Prep* MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay. Dec. 27. —Cordell Hull, American secretary of state, today was credited with a diplomatic victory at the PanAmerican conference that not only constituted a personal triumph, but greatly improved United States relations and prestige in Latin-Amer-ica. By frank approaches to other chief delegates, by eloquent speeches in assemblies and with the aid of President Roosevelt's declarations on the “new’ deal'’ in diplomacy. Secretary Hull succeeded in turning an initial threat to relations into a promise of much friendlier relations in future. Today he had left for Buenos Aires, to be honored by the Argentine government during a three-day visit. He planned to leave for the Chilean lake country and Santiago Friday and to sail from Valparaiso Jan. 5. New Radio Is Stolen Theft of anew radio, valued at $26. left at the home of W. H. Thompson, 5140 North Meridian streets for a demonstration, was reported to police yesterday by Francis I. Eddy. 302 East Troy avenue. 525 Watch Is Taken A gold watch valued at $25 was stolen from the room of George Bonch-.r, 532 ’ West Washington street, he reported to police yesterday.

The dollar first must fall in value in relation to gold and other commodities. One method used in achieving that effect is the gold purchase plan, though there is bitter debate as to its practicability. For two months the treasury, through the RFC, has been buying gold at a rate far above statutory price, to depreciate the dollar. a a u THE first currency fight is likely to come over administrationsponsored legislation to validate and strengthen the gold purchase policy and possibly other operations not yet announced. Senator Carter Glass and the ether money conservatives then will unleash their guns. Glass is set to question the legality of the gold buying plan, as did Undersecretary Dean Acheson before he was fired from the treasury. The administration has been preparing for such an attack in congress. Conservatives also are expected to make a futile effort to take away the inflation powers w’hich congress gave to Roosevelt in the last session. At the other extreme will be those w’ho want to make inflation mandatory. The “sound money” group finds one of its previously most impressive arguments weakened by success of the treasury's December financing. nun TACTICS of the inflationists will be governed by whehter they think the President is going fast enough and far enough. The inflation demand from west and south is inspired by the condition of debt-ridden farmers, W’ho find prices for farm goods rising but slowly and the increases largely offset by increased prices for things they must buy. It's important to note that the inflation tumult of a few weeks ago subsided after the administration began to pump subsidies and loan money into the affected farm areas. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and Representative Rankin of Mississippi, two inflationist leaders, recently have expressed their willingness to string along with the Roosevelt program— intimating, nevertheless, that they are not convinced it will have the desired result soon enough. Indicating the tendency of inflationists tow’ard revaluing the gold reserve and impounding the federal reserve and treasury “profit” therefrom, Thomas has prepared a bill which proposes devaluation of the dollar by 50 per cent and a presidential declaration that gold is worth $41.34 an ounce instead of the present statutory $21.67 (or the R. F. C.’s quotation of approximately $34 for the newly mined product). nan THQMAS would have the treasury take over all the gold, reimburse the reserve banks with gold certificates at -the rate of $20.67 an ounce. When they redeemed the certificates in gold they would get only half as much gold for their money. Such course was followed by France and Italy when those countries devalued their currency. It is urged by the committee for the nation, with w’hich Professor George F. Warren has associated and which.has agitated for several monetary steps which subsequently were adopted by the administration. It involves the cessation of gold coinage and the melting of all gold into bullion. Federal reserve and treasury gold

together amounts to some $4,300,000.000, and under the Thomas plan the “profit” would be the same amount. On the present basis of 40 per cent gold coverage for currency, more than $10,000,000,000 of new r money could be issued. nan ULTIMATELY the inflation struggle may center on the amount of new currency that might be issued after devaluation and the question of w’hether to apply it to the national debt, federal expenditures, or to some other purpose, such as soldier bonus payment. Meanwhile, the most important thing to watch for is some sign of Roosevelt’s attitude toward this method of inflation. Recently, confidence has Increased that the administration is ready to “do something for silver.” There’s a silver bloc of about thirty senators and some pressure on the White House. Last spring congress empowered Roosevelt to coin silver at any ratio to gold. nan •Q EMONETIZATION of silver, since we are off the gold standard, now is regarded as a mild substitute for greenback inflation. It is believed the administration is especially interested in helping the silver producing states. Senator Wheeler of Montana proposes remonetization and free coinage of silver at the old Bryan 16 to 1 ratio. Senator Pittsman of Nebraska has a bill for government purchase of silver after the manner of gold purchase, for use as a curr ncy base. Under his plan, the government would pay least 96 cents an ounce, whereas silver now is selling at about 43 cents. It seems probable that the treasury will buy up a certain quantity of 'silver at a price of at least 60 cents an ounce. Legislation may or may not be considered necessary for that purpose.

—Your Health— SCIENTISTS TO INCREASE FOOD VALUE OF MILK Devise Means to Augment Certain Vitamins Usually Lacking. BY I)R. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. Milk, which long has been considered the most nearly perfect food. ! will become an even better food I through aid of scientific developI ments. Asa result, you may be assured I of an almost perfect diet for your | children, especially for infants. The opinion has been rather geni eral that milk is not a good source of vitamins. This probably is due to the fact that it is deficient especially in Vitamin C, as shown by the necessity of giving infants milk with added orange juice. A deficiency of Vitamin D in milk is compensated by taking extra cod liver oil. Governed by Cow’s Diet You should remember, however, that Vitamin A appears in milk with a remarkable constancy and the cow that is well fed will supply Viamin A in normal quantity to the milk from the store of that substance in her body even after many | months, while she may continue on a diet that is poor in Vitamin A. There is evidence that the body stores up Vitamin A in considerable amounts w’hen the amount taken in is abundant. It is possible to raise the Vitamin A content of milk by feeding the cow with cod liver oil, fresh pasturage, or kale. Vitamin B is not stored in the body, apparently, to the extent that Vitamin A is. Hence, when Vitamin B becomes deficient, due to the fact that the | diet has been low in that substance, it is necessary to feed promptly more Vitamin B after w’hich the milk given by the cow again will become normal in content of this vitamin. Sunlight Is Factor Vitamin D is found to some extent in the milk of cows in places where there is plenty of sunlight. However, in northern latitudes and near cities, where the value of the sunlight is diminished greatly by smoke, it becomes necessary to j supplement the diets of infants and possibly of older persons as well with extra Vitamin D. Means have been developed for enriching the Vitamin D content of milk in various ways. First, by adding a certain amount of Vitamin D concentrate to the milk; second by irradiating the milk with ultraviolet light; third, by feeding the cow irradiated yeast, w’hich provides both Vitamins D and B, and possibly also by irradiating the cow’ itself. There seems to be no doubt that heating, drying and condensing of milk interfere to some extent with the content of Vitamin C. For this reason, you should feed your infant not only on milk, but on extra Vitamin C in the form of tomato juice, orange juice, or other fresh fruit juices. sls Stolen From Trousers Ralph Fowls, 26 East Fourteenth street, Apartment 510, reported to j police yesterday that a thief en- | tered his apartment by a service door and stole sls from a trousers | pocket.

Brilliant Crowd Greets American Opera Debut

Metropolitan House Filled: Cocktail Drinking Returns. lip United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 27.—Social registerites and several thousand persons listed only in the telephone directory crowded the Metropolitan Opera House last night for the first opening night performance of an American opera and to indulge in an almost forgotten custom—cocktail drinking during intermissions. There w'as little standing room dowmstairs and only few’ vacant seats in the glittering “diamond horseshoe” when the conductor' raised his baton for the overture of Deems Taylor’s “Peter Ibbetson.” Although the storm and cold discouraged many who usually stood in line for hours, the crush of patrons just before curtain time filled the house's 3,500 seats. Women in ermine, sables and mink arrived in limousines and taxicabs to enter the brilliantlylighted portals of the opera house for the inagural of the forty-ninth subscription season. Hundreds of other couples trod through the snow’. A traditional first night audience vigorously applauded Lucretia Bori, Lawrence Tibbett and Edw’ard Johnson in their interpretations of the musical version of the Du Maurier novel, then flocked to the lobby to drink champagnes, apertifs and w’hiskies.
