followed by a luncheon and
general jollification.
The whist social given by the
Pioneers and other male resi
dents in honor of the Friend
ship Club ladies in Pioneer
‘Hall last Saturday evening was
an unqualified success and
amply sustained the reputation
of the men folks as culinary
experts and entertainers. A
delicious supper with sour
dough beans as the piece d’re
sistance, flanked by hot rolls,
relishes, cake and coffee, all
prepared by the men, culmi
nated the festivities, which in
cluded a short period of danc

PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES
MONETARY POLICY
dent Roosevelt wants it re
stored to 100, which is the 19
26 level, considered the aver
age level of a long period of
years.
Ihe President said this is to
be a permanent policy, not an
expedient, and indicated that
it will be used merely to offset
a temporary fall in prices, ad
ding “we are thus continuing
to move toward a managed cur
rency.
Fixing of the price at which
gold newly mined in the United
States will be purchased is un
derstood to permit fixation of
a definite internal price for the
metal, quite apart front the for
eign maikets.
As only gold newly mined in
the United States will be purch
ased, except under extraordin
ary conditions, possible dump
ing of foreign gold would be
entirely obviated.
Experts believe, however,
that the creation of an inde
pendent government market in
the United States may bring
about bidding for the metal by
other nations and result in
higher prices; possibly up to
$35 or $40 an ounce. Othei’s
point out that in such case the
President may at any time pre
vent gold exports oy reviving
the recently lifted gold export
embargo.
A Washington, D. C., report
Monday said the probabilities
are that the prices to be of
fered by the government for
gold will be the prevailing
London-Paris prices.
The effectiveness of the con
trolled currency plan in main
taining price levels has been
endorsed by the world’s most
eminent economists and has
been demonstrated in most con
clusive manner by Sweden,
where basic price levels close
ly approximating the normal I
have been maintained during
the depression period and in
spite o f foreign exchange
fluctuations.
