-AD VOLUME THIRTY-NINE GENTRY, BENTON. COUNTY, ARKANSAS, THURSDAY MAY 4, 1933 NUMBER EIGHTEEN" by GARRETT WHITESIDE Perhaps the most fpr reaching 'step made in American history was made ithe past week when the President suggested the abandonment of the gold standard and the expansion of American currency. This column has a number of times insisted that there would be "some form of currency before the' depression was over. Many other columns have insisted that we would not have of these aret pure and simple. The powers that be in the financial world have opposed, any kind of currency pansion.

They have prated about sound money, sound money. Some folks want to know what about sound stocks, and sound bonds-both local and foreign that have been hawked the country. Some of the reasons back of this country going off the gold by the way. about the only countries of still on the gold standard, are France, Belgium, and Holland, while some have what is called "controlled" currency, is not clear at this writing. Nationally, it is-urged 'that it would permit the President tp control.American currency and i strip it from the control of Wall Street, and the Federal Reserve Board has long inflated or deflated-it to'suit their convenience.

That it. will stablize farm Values; force Europe to enter agreements for the stablizatipn exchange; slash war debt payments if they agreed to arms-reduction; stop the raids on American markets by nations producing commodities with depreciated currencies; help the price of agricultural products (as was evidenced by the sen-, sational trading on the stock exchange! arid'the rise in cotton and other agricultural products when the news came out); and lasf, but not least' open to American goods world markets long closed because of cheap foreign money. It is insisted that the inflation will be controlled to keep it within, proper bounds. The' Republican conservatives, are planning to fight the bill, which borne in mind as one thing in the movements Speaker Rainey of the House declares which'is worthy of notice. He stated that the countries of the world have been engaged in an organized effort to reduce the United States to a fifth rate power.

The system it simple. They have depreciated their currencies which enables them to sell their products in the United States which pays them in gold dollars, and these are ear-marked to their credit, and when they get oar gold reserve, they will return to the gold standard and leave us to fight our way out as best we can. Just a little illustration of what our being oh the gold standard and foreign countries with a depreciated currency means to our trade. Would South America for an instance buy pur cotton pur wheat or a manufactured product and pay us our price in gold, sometimes two times the value of their currency, when they can-buy it from other countries who have depreciated currencies at a much cheaper rate? Senator Hattie W. Caraway in her campaign for the" Senate last year stated her opposition to government agencies loaning money to corporations which refused to reduce the huge salaries paid their presidents and other executives.

For instance just one random which paid their president two hundred thousand dollars a year. She insisted these corporations Should put their house in reduce 'their expenses and make such a showing as would enable them make a proper "quest for a loan. She has continued this fight. As a result you hear more about it now than ever and there may be a stop put to the practice, as there should should haje gone the first paragraph is that the inflation move should be helpful in the conference with; foreign nations, ft jnit? an entirely'new face on. the matter and divides the cards more evenly, and it i expected, to lead to a new international agreement on monetary standards for both gold and silver.

The passage of the Wagner-Costigan LaFollette Relief Bill, despite bitter opposition provides direct relief grants w'the states; and cities. States and, cities have almost exausted, their resources and fo'r a while, at least, the must help. One (woman died injuries received in a car i accident on the Kansas hill west of Flint Pn Highway 33 about noon Monday and another woman "was seriously injured and was brought to the city hospital at Siloam Springs. The lady who was the hospital is suffering from a crushed chest and lacerations on the forehead arid, hands. She was in a frightful condition from the.

shock, but when questioned about the accident, gave her name as Miss Pickel of St Louis, and that of fatally injured one as Miss Elizabeth of St. Louis. Motorists who the scene of the accident soon after. it happened, said that the new Essex sedan had evidently "been coming down iihe hill and-after making a curve in the road had swerved to the left and crashed into a large the, front of the car. The windshield was broken out and it.is.

thought that Miss Elizabeth went through it. A report from the hospital was that Miss Alice Pickel is resting very well and that the chest injuries are believed to be not so serious as was at first reported'. She also said that she'and her sister 'were working as stenographers in the Bliss building in and. it is presumed that they were, enroute to their mother's home-in St. Daily Register.
