THE GOLD DECISION
A golden sword of Damocles no longer dangles over
head.
By holding that Congress’ power to regulate the value o'
currencv cannot be infringed by gold-clause contracts ot
private corporations or subordinate units of government,
the supreme court has cleared the way for administration
recovery plans.
Business firms now know the definite limits ot their in
debtedness and may make future commitments accordingly
The administration now may proceed with its $5,000,000,
000 re-employment program with assurance of control over
its budgetary obligations.
In the private bond and gold certificates decisions re
centlv the court upheld the government unconditionally. In
the fifth, or Liberty Bond decision, a hypothetical loophole
was left bv the court for bond-holders who may in the future
be able to prove that they have suffered real damages. This
is a warning to the government against unrestricted inn -
lion. It should aid the administration’s tight against dang
erous currency expansion and give business added confiden
ce in the future soundness of the dollar.
The reassuring gold decisions, fortunately, come amidst
many signs of business revival Long prostrate heavy ind
ustries show new life. Production mounts in the steel and
automobile industries. If private industry and the admini
stration can take advantage of the psychological effect of this
ludicial vote of confidence we may soon scale depression bar
ricades.
The new-born boom in the security and commodity mar
kets was inevitable. And it is beneficial insofar as it is a
manifestation of new vigor in the lately paralyzed limbs of
industry. But care should be taken by the administration
and by business leaders not to permit this manifestation to
turn into a self-defeating speculative orgy.
The gold decisions will go down in history with several
other recent liberal rulings of the court which have inter
preted the constitution in the spirit in which it was written
—not as a strait-jacket, but as a living body of orderly gov
ernment.—New York Times.
Cities that are full of good starters and good finishers
usually focus their eyes on the future, get a good start and
stick until their city arrives.

SWIFT-MOVING ERA
Go to the thirty-fifth Annual Automobile Show at the
Grand Central Palace and feel the wind of time swirling
past the new streamline human era.
A study of the instant compliance of manufacturers with
fast mechanical advance in automobile building helps ex
plain the widespread readiness of the American people to
accept new things in government.
The drastic outer changes in automobiles, as in contem
porary government, are producing marked, if often undis
cernible, internal adjustments. The extreme automobile
treamlining has contributed to riding ease—motors pushed
more compactly forward, seats swung further in between the
rear and front axles, reducing jar and pitching motion.
Mechanical improvement is prolific. Greater engine
power to weight. Improved spring action and balance, in
creasing silence and freedom from vibration. Increased
safety—better lights, more powerful and responsive brakes.
And easier operation through automatic gear shifts and “el
ectric hands” on the instrument board in the place of the
old gear level.
The 200 new models may be powerfully symbolic of
changes in American economic and social attitude. The ve
hicles that have carried men from the beginning of civiliza
tion have helped determine the speed man has made in
scientific, sociological, governmental and all other progress.
It seems clear that a nation that can absorb the shock
of the year’s drastic model changes while splitting the wind
with growing ease and comfort is ready for any changes the
New Deal” offers.—New York World-Telgeram
