THE PORT HURON TIMES HERALD PACE TWO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1933. LOS ANGELES BRUSH FIRE FIGHTERS GET FIRST AID Average Levels Of ROOSEVELT CONSIDERS CHEAPENING DOLLAR NOW TO END UNCERTAINTY TO FIX PRICES v. BP USED GARS iiT sometimes taken years. The expectation of Use business world in the last few days has been that the Roosevelt administration was on the eve cf an announcement of the exact value it would place on the dollar through fixing the gold content. The rumors have been that the dollar would be reduced by 35 to 40 per cent.

Unquestionably these plans have been considered, because study is being given here to legal angles cf the problem that might be involved in such a step. But the final determination of poucy rests with the Presides I of September I9s Th 1-A V. er. 1925. RIDDLES HIT CODE SOLUTION Retail Price Control To Get Decision Soon I Br Th Associated Prua) Washington.

Oct. 7 Three, fcfg riddles, freighted with controversy and involving vital points in the program of national recovery are demanding solution in the Immediate future by NRA officials. Retail trade's proposal for minimum price control is to get Administrator Hugh S. Johnson's verdict and possibly that of President Roosevelt by Monday or Tuesday. The, labor board must decide next whether, in arbitrating di3-putes.

it shall require minorities of workers to abide by the will of the majority, or make it necessary in some cases for employers to arbitrate with more than one group. This involves fundamentally the question of "closed shop" unionization, hitherto regarded as banned by the industrial law. Third, and possibly most controversial, is a proposal rapidly coming to a head, by which some officials hope to tempt capital to invest in construction and new-equipment by keeping down wages for a period of one year, with a mandatory increase at that time, and further increases at stated periods later if the volume of business rises. The idea, worked out by a group of deputies and economists, is to use the code structure to flatten out the building curve from its present series of booms and depressions every 10 years, to a 20-year, more moderate fluctuation. Its backers assert they are not proposing to reduce wages below the levels proposed by industries in codes, but rather not to raise them for the present to a compromise between industrial offers and labor demands.

Labor men already are promising fight, however, and an idea to require longer working hours than normally provided by codes is said to have been dropped. The whole project has not yet been passed upon by Johnson but will be before him soon in the construction industry codes. An se-srseney ttatian set up rear tha acena In Grfmth park.

(Associated Press Photo) 'I Deaths I cf a devaluation plan is supposed to be imminent is that the President would like to exercise his powers under the law before congress comes back and tries to do it for him or block his course.

Once the subject gets into the realm of congressional debate and the maelstrom of inflationist influence, there will hardly be a chance to instill the confidence which ought to be developed coincident with the stabilization program. Whatever the decision finally la. the administration is accepting a momentous responsibility something that may affect America fox many years to come. If done wrong, it may spell the political ruin of the Roosevelt administration and its defeat at next year's congressional elections. If properly done and the reaction throughout the world is favorable, we may see the beginning of a real boom.

It's anybody' guess Just now as to what the devaluation point will be. and there are still many here of the sound money school who hope devaluation can be put off altogether for several months in the hope it will be rroved entirely unnecessary. Republican Leader Dies Detroit. Oct. 7.

Devaluation of the gold content of the dollar, something the United States has done but once in Its history about 100 years ago is seriously being considered by the administration as a step to remove the uncertainties that now becloud business and trade. This would mean that on and after a certain date the government would be prepared to redeem gold certificates or lawful currency in.

a dollar of much less weight than our unit of value has possessed for generations. As a practical matter in domestic trade there would be little difference noted for a while, even if the gold content were reduced so that the present value of the dollar, namely about 6 8 cents, were to be fixed as the permanent measurement. But the big question is not what shall the dollar be worth in domestic commerce and domestic transactions where it is accepted in terms of goods at a level of prices more or less influenced by conditions within our own borders. The real issue is: What will the rest of the world think of the American dollar in terms of thalr goods and money? This is only another way of saying that the American government may set an arbitrary value but the same influences which cause the trade jind business world to consider the dollar worth 6 6 cents in relation to the gold franc would promptly say the American government had undervalued or overvalued the dollar, as the case may be. and then exchange would hardly settle down to normalcy under those conditions.

Domestic prices would be affected subsequently by foreign factors. Correct Level Puzzling So it behooves the government here to set a figure that represents the real value of the dollar its natural level. This is a difficult mathematical calculation, for the question of imports and exports comes into play, as do the problems of recovering the many billions of American capital which have fled to Kurope in a panic of fear in recent weeks. When there is a return of capital, there comes an abnormal demand for the purchase of dollars and then the sale of pounds and francs disturbs the equilibrium one more. So long as there are violent fluctuations in exchange rates, there can be no re-investment of capital in long term loans something so vitally needed to make the NRA program succeed, especially in the capital goods or heavier industries where money is required to finance billions of dollars of potential orders.

If the United States government devalues the dollar and stabilizes at the wrong point, there will still be lack of confidence and investors will hesitate. What, then is the real and natural level of the dollar? It cannot be determined by guess or estimate. It can come as stabilization has always come in the history of finance throughout the civilized world by a process which fixes the level naturally and without artificial control. Once the principal governments of the world. Great Britain and France, agree to a policy of gradual removal of restriction on the inflow and outflow- of gold and America concurs In the pian, there will be an opportunity to find out how much gold Europe owes America and how much the balances In international trade visible and fnvisable really total.

SATURDAY $1125 Mvumig Hoocn Snniltte Giiveira Away! Re Sure To He At Store Warns Hunters On Sunday Hunting And State Trespass Laws Kverett E. Tucker, local deputy state conservation officer, warns hunters of the county against violations of Sunday hunting and Horton trespass laws. "The local Sunday hunting act, approved by the legislature in 13 23 and confirmed by a referendum of county voters, made it unlawful for anyone to hunt in St Clair county on Sunday, except ore's own property or the property of another, if his permission is obtained." Mr. Tucker said "This act does not apply to shooting wild waterfowl on St. Clair river or Lake St.

Clair, but does apply to all lakes and streams in the county for wildfowl and to all lands and woodlots in the county for small game hunting. "The Horton trespass law provides that no person shall hunt with firearms, or dogs, or in any other manner, upon any farm lands or farm woodlots connected therewith, or within the enclosed lands of any hunting club or game preserve without the consent of the owner or lessee of such lands or lots. "Both laws provided that presence of a person on the premises of another with firearms in his possession is prima facie evidence of a violation of the laws." The wildfowl hunting season started Sunday noon. Names New Dahlia For Mrs. Gar Wood A dahlia seedling, grown by Clarence G.
