WORLD GOLD I’KIt E R USED LONDON, Nov. 2. (UP)—The o|ten I market gold rate wa.- raised to within 11 cents of'the W . ihington price today as the pound sterling' approached par with the dollar as a tcsult of President Roosevelt’s gold buying policy. It was significant that as the dollar depreciated in term- of pounds, • ho p und depreciated in terms of the gold based French franc, so that the United States effort- to leprociate ! the dollar werq largely frustrated. Opening at iS-LBlup 2 cents, the pound moved within an hour to $1 S2'j, only 4.13 cent- below its par

of $4.8666.

As soon a- today’s often market rate was set, an unknown buyer acquired 156 bais of gold, worth approximately 54(H),lino pounds or $1,930,000 at the current exchange rate. Nazi Movemnit Subject Of Talk KIM \.\1 \\S HEAR IVI CRESTING ADDRESS ID GERMAN INSTRUCTOR

Gerald Swope Envisions Labor And Industry Working In Harmony Under His Plan

A brief view of the Nazi movement in Germany w i. presented to the Greeneastle Kiwanis club at today’s meeting by Prof. G H. Grueninger of the DePauw university German department. Hi- talk was extremely interesting ami was presented without any pros and cons to con-

fuse the listener.

The speaker showed the forces bringing Hitler to power as comprised chiefly of the Treaty of Versailles. failure of the pirit of international cooperation iftcr the war, increasing economic risis by the depression iperiod, and the inability and weakness of the leaders of the Weimar republic especially id respect to their interpretation of the temper-

ment of the German people.

According to tihe German people’s lielief, Hitli*r has helped prevent communism, he has restored faith in Germany in the German mind, has lime away with certain class distinctions carrying over from the old empire, and is establishing a united country. During the past six months the economic situation has been greatly improved, and this is attrihuted as a matter of course by the German people to Hitlerism in power. Moreover, Hitler has the German [a»iple believing that the goal toward which they are working is one worthy

of the sacrifice involved.

Continuing, Dr. Grueninger indicated that most Germans believe HitI ler can continue to save them fiom bolshevism and from the nation's inferior international position. The j Na/i movement is emotional as well as political arvl for that reason is hard to understand by non-German peoples or l»> an absentee native. As to whether Hitler is dangerous internationally, the speaker showed that Hitler demanded of his followers that they be ready to die for the fatherland, and demanded of other nations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 —Substitution of permanent self-government of business and industry for the temporary work of the national recovery administration was proposed late yesterday by Gerard Swope and drew immediate agreement from Hugh S.

Johnson.

The New York industrialist outlinwt the plan at a meeting of the business advi-orj and planning council of the ci itunence department. A few hours later Johnson, the industrial administrator, indicated his agreement in a press conference. At about the -ante time, Henry I. Harriman, pm-nlent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, was telling reporters that he favored i

the principal of the plan.

Harriman s.iid there 'had been a great deal of dissatisfaction among business men over the NRA program and that “very little of the present NRA” would he retained under the

Swope propo.-al.

Action on the Swope plan was postponed for committee stud' at the suggestion of Harriman in the council ■meeting. The plan would merge the Chamber of Commerce with various other groups that arc leprrsentative of business and from the new organization would be named a board of appeals that would arbitrate all questions that arise in the applica-

tion of codes.

Swope said in a statement last

night:

“There is nothing in my proposal intended to supplant NRA or to set up any industrial self discipline without governmental participation or to omit the organisation of labor parallel with the organization of industry'. “What I proposed was my personal idea of a goal for ultimate attainment. It is built on the th'ught that industrial organization is necessary to industrial self-discipline and that, I take it, is intrinsic in the industrial recovery act. “There is no difference of opinion lictween the recovery administration and myself and my temporary relief by another industrialist on the advisory board does not separate me
