DON’T WORRY ABOUT GOLD
. ... —
Those of us who have been
worrying about the possibility
that gold will lose its value in
the world are advised to ease our
fears by Dr. E. A. Goldenweiser,
statistician for the Federal Re
serve Board.
We have about $19,000,000,000
worth of gold, owned by the Unit
ed States but we hold around
$8,000,000,000 of foreign capital,
seeking security from the vicissi,
tudes that threaten Europe and
other lands.
It is possible that “gold might
lose its value" says the expert, j
“if the post-war world is com- j
pletely unlike the world in which
we are now living” but if this
comes to pass, he warns, that
“the loss of the gold will be but j
incidental to other and greater
losses that we will have to bear.”
SERVIC0 CLUBS OF U. S.
HAILED AS DEMOCRATIC
MINNEAPOLIS, June 27 —Am
crican service clubs were hailed
at the Kiwanis International con
vention as typically democratic
institutions incapabe of the idea
loigy of dictatorships.
O. Samuel Cummings of Dallas
Texas told the convention that
the service clubs were unlike any
other type of organization. He
formerly headed Kiwanis Interna
tional. Cummings said that mem
bers of the groups view their lib
■erties not only as a means of
profit in their professional lives,
but also as methods of serving
their fellow men.
Cummings paid tribute to Can
■edian members of Kiwanis, say
ing they were carrying the ban
ner of Christian fellowships.

Director presiding as chairman.
After the usual reading of the
minutes, the following guests
were introduced by Chairman
Code: Geo. F. Marsh. Chris
Betsch, Mr. Johnson and L. H.
Keir. all of Fortuna Ledge.
Secretary of the Board of Dir
ectors, A. Polet spoke briefly on
the subject of government inter
vention in commercial business
in Alaska, pointing to the fact
that this year the regular migra
tion of the Diomede and King
Island Eskimos had not taken
pace, and that they were remain
ing on their islands, and contin
uing their ivory carving, the pro
ducts of which were turned over
to the Indian Affairs Division of
the Interior Department.
He pointed out the damage to
commercial business that such a
policy would do when carried to
other villages throughout the
Division, a program which he de
dared was already in progress.
No action was taken by the
Chamber.
