i
Gold
and
Economics
i
jj
rHNEST
BEVIN
suggested
recently,
that
the
j
L
United
States
should
distribute
its
gold.
The
1
idea,
foolish
though
it
was,
has
aroused
much
discussion.
If
it
had
been
made
by
anyone
of
less
prominence
no
one
would
have
given
it
a
moment's
consideration.
Great
is
the
power
of
a
cabinet
minister.
When
one
of
prominence
speaks
many
listen,
few
understand.
Its
examine
his
suggestion.
The
United
States
has
enormous
stores
of
gold,
most
of
it
lying
useless
in
Fort
Knox.
Assuming
that
the
advice
of
Mr.
'Bevin
is
accepted,
it
is
boxed,
insured,
shipped
to
New
York,
then
to
England.
There
it
is
unloaded
and
moved
into
a
vault.
Great
Britain,
however,
does
not
want
gold.
Great
Britain
wants'
food
and
machinery.
Much
of
her
present
equipment
was
made
obsolete
by
war
used
up
in
the
desperate
effort
to
defend
the
world
against
Hitler.
What
can
Britain
do
with
this
gold?
Ship
it
back
to,
the
United
States
to
pay
for
goods
and
let
the
United
States
return
it
to
Fort
Knox
from
whence-it
came
!
The
whole
thing
could
be
done
with
less
cost
if
the
American
government
placed
the
needed
amount
to
the
credit
of
the
government
of
the
United
Kingdom
in
any
New
York
bank.
Assume
now
that
Britain
sends
half
the
American
gold
back
to
the
United
States
for
goods,
a
quarter
to
the
Argentine
of
wheat
and
a
quarter
to
Canada
for
bacon.
What
follows?
The
Argentine
sends
the
wheat
to
Britain,
turns
the
gold
back
to
the
United
States.
Canada
goes
through
the
same
hocus-pocus
with
the
bacon.
Is
this
to
be
the
way
great
statesmen
play
with
the
hunger
of
men
?
s
There
is
a
way
by
which
the
United
States
can
retain
its
trade
and
help
to
restore
the
world
to
a
sound
and
sane
economy.
It
should
cut
its
tariff
in
two,
then
start
in
earnest
to
reduce
it,
extend
greatly
the
free
list.
This
should
be
done
as
speedily
as
possible.
In
time
much
of
its
excess
gold
would
move
out
and
become
a
factor
in
steadying
theshal;y.
monetary
systems
of
the
world.
Midas
could
not
live
on
gold;
neither
can
Uncle
Sam.
The
United
States
does
not
want
to
do
this.
There
is
an
alternative.
The
United
States
may
lead
the
wqrld
into
a
depression.
It
will
then
be
doing
exactly
as
Stalin
wants
it
to
do.
He
wants
the
American
economy
to
go
into
a
tail-spin.
He
will
blame
it
on
the
capitalistic
system
and
urge
the
world
to
go
communist.
But
capitalism
in
a
depression
is
better
than
communism
in
a
boom.
It
is
a
serious
moment
for
the
United
States,
and
the
world.
BRITISH
PRESS
RESTRICTED
THE
president
of
the
Institute
of
Jouralists
in
Great
Britain
is
not
at
all
impressed
by
the
size
of
the
savings
in
dollars
brought
about
through
the
cut
in
the
total,
of
newsprint
supplies.
The
saving,
he
asserts,
is
trifling.
The
real
purpose,
he
maintains,
is
the
further
restriction
threatened
the
freedom
of
the
British
press.
It
is,
he
alleges,
the
most
effective
barricade
possible
against
the
unreserved
expression
of
public
opinion.
Of
course,
this
is
as
he
sees
it.
Others
might
differ.
But,
for
that
matter
there
is
in
the
British
Isles
today
a
sanctioned
dictatorship.
SOLDIERS
IN
WHITE
HOUSE
PERHAPS
more
frequently
than
any
other
the
name
of
General
Eisenhower
is
heard
mentioned
and
seen
in
print
when
it
comes
to
presidential
possibilities
in
the
United
States.
Military
renown
would
be
nothing
new
across
the
border
when
associated
with
an
incumbent
of
the
White
House.
George
Washington
was
first,
Jackson,
Harrison,
Grant,
Theodore
Roosevelt,
were
among
others.
Some
were
more
successful
in
the
field
than
in
directing
the
affairs
of
State.
General
Eisenhower
has
declared
he
will
not
accept
nomination.
However,
the
convention
season
is
still
some
distance
away
and
things
may
change.
HIGHWAY
CONDITION
IT'
SEEMS
almost
Impossible
to
establish
the
im-I
pression.
that
the
Skeena
River
Highway
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Terrace
is-
in
good
shape
and
that
it
can
be
safely
taken
for
granted
the
road
will
remain
that
way.
Reports
conflict.
Opinions
differ.
One
motorist,
having
travelled
over
the
highway;
says
the
road
is
all
right
He's
seen
and
felt
far
worse.
Someone
else
can
only
talk
of
oot
holes,
more
ruts,
and
a
shaken
car.
Others
think
there
is
no
real
ground
for
serious
criticism.
And,
sq
it
goegi
The
net
result
of
all
this
is
that
misleading
ideas
go
abroad.
There
is
no
agreement
here.
No
wonder
those
who
dwell
at
a
distance
do
not
know
the
facts.
ft
eminiscences
By
w.J.
and
Reflections
ago,
but
in
December
1941,
this
city
faced
a
menace.
There
was
danger:
It
was
a
risk,
admitted
by
the
population,
but
in
a
somewhat
light-hearted
sort
of
way.
Oh
yes!
There
could
be
a
raid.
Prince
Rupert
had
nothing
one
could
count
on
In
the
way
of
protection
from
bombs.
Well
then,
Prince
Rupert
had
no
shield.
What's
on
tonight?
Let's
go.
Today,
as
1948
draws
nearer,
a
glance
at
the
local
newspaper
liles
gives
one
a
new
slant
on
the
situation
at
Prince
Rupert
in
the
fateful
days
following
Pearl
Harbor.
Many
of
Washington's
proudest
ships
lay
broken
and
helpless.
The
Navy.
of
Japan,
almost
without
opposition,
roamed
the
Pacific.
Her
airmen
had
already
demonstrated
what
they
were
capable
of
doing.
Britain
was
busy
witn
Germany
in
another
part
of
the
world.
One
of
her
newest
fighting
ships
was
fated
to
sink
beneath
the'
blows
of
Nippon's
fliers
not
far
from
Singapore.
Australia
was
deeply
anxious.
Yank
troops
In
the
Philippines
were
being
driven
Into
a
corner
that
became
a
trap.
The
outlook
was
black.
Reading
it
all
over,
now,
the
dominant
impression
is
that
Prince
Rupert
did
not
really
grasp
the
Imminence
of
her
peril.
The
front
page
In
Decem
ber
1941
printed
the
solemn
warning
to
forget
all
about
New
Year's
Eve
street
celebrations
but
instead
to
keep
quiet
and;
turn
lights
low.
Manila
was
due
to
fall
any
hour.
There
were
more
sinkings
off
the
coast
of
California.
Reading
between
the
lines,
one
sensed
that
much,
more
could
be
told,
but
wasn't.
It
is
no
exaggeration
to
say
the
sea
and
air
fleets
of
Japan,
during
those
few
momentous
weeks
packed
with
such
dire
possibilities,
had
the
priceless
Pacific
ports
of
continental
America
jjt
their
mercy.
