Subsequently, the controversy began to take serious form and a new flood of gold to America developed.

Those acquainted with fl nance recognize What m the exMenct Can Happen of gigantic stock of gold the largest In American history and approximately 45 per cent of the entire world stock the existence of a potential, If Indeed It Is not a probable, base for Inflation. There Is so much gold held by the American government, which holds virtually all of the gold stocks In this country, that no end of paper money can be Issued against It. Those who believe In that type of currency policies say that It would be perfectly safe; thnt the government could pny off dollar for dollar or even more than a dollar for every paper dollar outstanding from the gold It holds. This school of thought contends that there Is actually a shortage of money In circulation and Insists that thlv Is one reason why the country has not recovered from the depression more rapidly than conditions show. Of course, a cold appraisal of that argument catalogues It as the same old demand for lnflatb n of the currency and everyone knows whnt Inflation will do In the way of wrecking the person who works for wages or whoxe sole Income consists of a compensation delivered to him In the form of weekly, or monthly pay checks. The size of thnt check never has and never will catch up with the Increase In prices which that Individual must pay to live. Then, there Is another potential danger In this tremendous horde of gold, it Is In many ways slmllnr to that which I have Just related It Is, however, more of a psychological condition than the first.

It may be, and is, true that the bulk of our people pay little Gold U attention to the gold Is Pouring In fad that Into the pouring United States In an unprecedented volume. I can understand how the wheat farmer of the plains country or the cotton farmer of the South or any other type of farmer can fall to become excited over the Influx of gold In the last Dve or six months. It appears to be a far cry from the grain fields or the cotton fields or the quarries or the small town to the heary concentration of yellow metal to which the United States has been subjected. Hut the link nevertheless exists. It exists as eerely and as definitely as night fol lows day and. therefore, It becomes a subject In which all of us are vitally Interested. Since the beginning of September a widespread flight of capital from Europe has manifested Itself In the shape of gold exports to the United States. Three or four hundred ndl Hons of dollars In gold have landed here In that time. They bring the net Inflow of gold for the year well above $1,000.000 000: And, going a bit further, this addition plus an other $1,000,000,000 places our gold stocks in excess of $0,400,000,000 or roughly $2, 000 000,000 more than was held here when the dollar was devalued under President Roosevelts Instructions. It seems Impossible to attribute this heavy and prolonged Inflow to any single cause. Immediately after devaluation of the dollar, there was a steady stream of yellow metal headed for the United States which was due almost entirely to a desire of American holders of gold, temporarily stored abroad, to repatriate. But even In that case, there was a contributory factor to be considered by the Monetary manipulation American government had a tempo rary effect on our exports, lncreas lng them to some extent and It was Increasing the balance of payments due to this country. So, we find our policies that Is, policies of the Roosevelt administration responsible for the start of the inflow. Itallan-Ethlo-pla- Wt Housewifes GOLDEN In this Instance, the tangent of Inflationist sentiment Is Joined with the sponsors of We Want the sliver buying More Money program. They see all of this gold and silver and they simply cannot resist the opportunity for con tinned bowling. Their speeches and their conversations are almost like a We want more college yell: money, the more money which they desire being nothing more nor less than currency run off In the printing presses of the great bureau of engraving and printing In Wash lngton. Whether It Is the first or the second type of Inflation that Is demanded, whether It Is the printing press monpy or the money Issued against gold as security, the results are the same. It Is to be reinein bered In this connection that none of us can obtain gold from the The Roosevelt administreasury. tration demanded of and obtained from congress legislation which definitely prohibited payment of gold for monetary use by the treasury under any circumstances except for the settlement of balances owed foreign nations. Rut that fact has not deterred demands by Inflationists. They are calling and will con tlnue to call for more paper money, and with every call the prices you pay for commodities are bound to Increase that is, they will Increase until or unless there Is a release of gold again for circulation as mopey So, It Is quite apparent that as long as this influx of gold continues and as long as other nations are harassed by monetary manipulation in the United States, we are con tlnunlly threatened with a business boom" which Is nothing less than Inflation of credit The real danger confronting this country, then, lies In that direction. Summarized, the threat Is this: If that Inflationist business boom gets started, no power on earth Is able or will be able to stop It The next and final step after that Is complete destruction of our curreucy, and medium of exchange. Political developments In the last few weeks have been completely dominated by the Stirred by splurge of activ- Ity on the Part of Hoover former President Herbert Hoover. His pot shots at the New Deal In several speeches have agitated the Democrats much more than they are willing to admit and, notwithstanding assertions of satisfaction, they have thrown a new fear Into the laps of the Roosevelt New Dealers. Cut, If the Hoover speeches have "vclted the New Dealers and the onservatlve Democrats, they have Imost precipitated a riot among he Republicans of whom he must e said to be, nt least, the titular ader. The hulk of the Republicans ok upon Mr. Hoover, because of hoge recent speeches, ns a poten-In- i Republican nominee for the resiliency against Mr. Roosevelt ext year. They look upon him, urther, as an Individual who Is ikely to disrupt plans that reconciliation, a love feast, unong the various factions of the Republican party. They have been struggling to lay a bnse for this ove feast and because of the Intense hatred that some of their number have for Mr. Hoover, his activity has opened this breach igaln, made It a blood red wound. Political observers and commentators have shown all manner of excitement because Mr. Hoover has made no statement whether he will or will not be a candidate for the Republican nomination. In plain words, they have been trying valiantly to conduct a campaign that will smoke out Mr. Hoover and mnke him say whether be Is or li not a candidate. All of the efforts to find out what Mr. Hoover proposes to do have failed and will continue to fall, even with the underground work of the New Deal, to bring from him a statement as to his purposes He will nnnounce them In his own good time. Personally, from all of the Information I hnve been able to assemble, I do not believe that Mr. Hoover has any Intention of seeking the nomination. I am convinced his purpose Is directed wholly and completely to one end; he fears the New Deal and he Is trying with all of the power that he possesses to ncqunlnt the country with his views which are obviously In oppo sltlon to the theories and policies and experiments of the New Deal. From sources which I consider to be faithful, because they always have been accurate heretofore. It la apparent to me that Mr. Hoover desires to lend his belp In acquainting the country with the things In the New Deal which ht regard as dangerous to ou. nations well being and thnt beyond such A purpose he Is content to enjoy life as a fisherman and vacationist.

The mine was real there Is no doubt of that. It takes Its name from the Mexican governor of Lower California, who, due to one of those political tempests which have flurried ever so often over Mexico, was forced to flee In 1S60 to La Paz. On the way. Vallagrana and his followers took refuge for a time In an Indian camp. The governor evidently had a manner of making friends. Before he left the hospitable Indians they had showed their guests the wonderful ledge of silver which was Wonderful It certheir treasure. tainly wns, for the outcrop could be traced for over 1,800 feet, and was over 25 feet wide at the surface I After promising absolute secrecy, the governor and his party were given seven specimens of the ore for souvenirs, and later they departed for La Pax.

Much to the chagrin of the outlaws, the miners had only enough gold with them to pay for their supplies and a modest spree, had been scarcely worth while kill lng them for this. And now the point arose that If these bodies should be discovered, posses would certainly trail down the murderers. The only thing to do was to conceal the corpses where they lay Accordingly, the outlaws pried off the face of the ledge so that fallen rocks and dirt covered the two dead men. and hurried away from the scene.
