Saturday, March 18, 1933 Interchange Of Currency Free interchange of the currencies of Canada and the United States encounters some obstacles at points distant from the international border, but there seems to be nothing to prevent it in the bolder strip. American cannot be compelled by their government to accept Canadian currency, which is not legal tender the United States, but their government should'be prevailed upon to approve and promote the free interchange of the two currencies. It would be eminently desirable if commercial in- terests across the line would give their official approval to the 3 acceptance of Canadian currency in the daily transaction of business. Every argument is on the side of free, exchange. Under normal conditions there is no difference in the vaJue of- the two currencies.

Most of the time the money of the dominion is as valuable as the corresponding American coin or note, and MISS Alice Gerry at piano, sometimes is worth a trifle more The difference either way is ve''y small. For free interchange there is the argument that Canadians are inconvenienced and humiliated when i money is declined in the United States. It is not improbable which has been staged for many years. Last night nearly 300 were present to witness the excellent program that provided rare enjoyment to the sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle. The hall was very attractively decorated in green.

The management was perfect in every detail. Bev. Thomas W. Gushing, assistant- rector of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, gave a fine discourse on the life of St. Patrick.

The program included vocal selections by the O'Brien brothers, Miss Renee Noble, Harry Simpson, Miss Josephine Lyons, -William Beatty, songs and recitations by Flnbar Corcoran, guitar selections by Miss Marguerite McDonald, tap dancing by Miss Helen McDonald, violin selection by Alex O'Brien. Miss Alice Gerry presided at the piano. This program con- dances which added entertainment and much to the ment A. E. Howe, Manchester; Frank B.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE man iri ua i Editor of the Herald: In rending an account of the hearing: -in Concord on House Bill 370, which would authorize the manufacture of fermented, liquors in New Hampshire, for. export -outside the state one; could easily believe tliat the Golden Hule, fio unto others as ye would that they should do unto you, was unknown in Portsmouth, and Urat all it's citizens cared about was "revenue," no master how it was procured. Knowing that this attitude is not that of all our citizens, I am unwilling to have that stain on the fair name of Portsmouth, my native city. If we are to learn the lesson of these difficult times from which -we believe we are just emerging, we must not allow the moral side -of our life to be so covered over by the material side, unless we want to return to the depression again and again, many of our best, far-seeing thinkers assert. Thwe is right and wrong in this world of ours and wrong done to others will always react upon ourselves.

Will prosperity ever come from licensing a business that deprives families and children anywhere of the necessities and comforts of life so that money may flow into the hands of the few men interested in the business?

Let us be honest with ourselves in regard to this whole question: Looking back to Portsmouth prior to the time of prohibition, and comparing it with the, present, do we really want to go back so far, or take the first step backward, or do we want to work harder to make our city a safer, more wholesome place for the children growing up hi our midst? Do we realize enough we are training the youth by our words and deeds, and so shaping the future of Portsmouth? MARTHA S. KIMBALL.
