Mr. Roosevelt's. speech, his third major address to the nation since March 4, Yeviewed all aspects of his recovery program, In it he took cog- nizance of agricultural unrest, point: Ang out that every cfiort .would be made to further the rise of commodity prices. } Sl The gold move outlined by Mr, Roosevelt was interpreted as meaning that the government would maintain the price of the dollar in international exchange through gold operations, much as the Bank of England, through its stabilization fund, undertakes to regulate quotations of the pound sterling. Four-point Plan The President outlined an orderly procedure for the realization of his gigantic economic and financial pro- gram, He summed it up as follows: 1. Restoration of the price level, first of all, i 2. Establishment and maintenance of a dollar of unchanging purchasing _bower--in short,, a managed currency, 3. Control" of the gold value of the domestic dolar." 4. Iistablishment of a government market for gold to establish and main- tain continuous control. Mr. Roosevelt's utterances on the monetary question came as a distinct surprise to official Washington, which had felt that he would confine the ad- dress to an accounting of his steward- ship since March 4, vith reference, of course, to the farm situation now com- plicated by strikes in the Middle West, "No one," the President said, "who considers the plain facts of our situa- tion believes that commodity prices, especially agricultural prices, are high enough yet," "Our dollar is now altogether too greatly influenced by the accidents of international trade by the internal policies 'of other nations and by politi- cal disturbances in other countries. Therefore the United States must take firmly in its hands the control of the gold value of our dollar. This is neces- sary in order to prevent dollar dis- turbances from swinging us away from our ultimate goal, namely, the continued recovery of our commodity prices." ' Highlights of Speech /Washington, Oct. 22.--Significant sen- tences in President Roosevelt's outline to the nation. of his future finanefal plans include: : ' "Our troubles will not be over to- morrow, but we are on our way and we are headed in the right direction," L * LJ . ""Government credit will be main- tained and a sound currency will ace company a rise in the American com- modity price level." * L LJ] LJ L "We are continuing to move to- wards a managed currency. ,.,., I would not know, and no one else could tell, just what the permanent valua- tion of the dollar will be. To guess at a permanent gold valuation now would certainly require later changes caused by later facts." LJ LJ LJ] * "When we have restored the price level, we shall seek to establish and maintain a dollar which will not change its purchasing and debt-paying power during the succeeding genera- tion." * LJ L LJ] x "Our dollar is now altogether too greatly influenced by the accidents ot international trade, by the internal policies of other nations and political disturbance in other continents, There- fore the United States must take firm- ly in its own hands the control of the gold value of our dollar." Ld Ld * L "As a further effective means to this end, I am going to establish a govern- ment market for gold in the United States, Therefore... I am authoriz- ing the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration to buy gold newly mined in the United States at prices to be de- termined from time to time after con- sultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the President, \When- ever necessary to the end in view, we shall also buy or sell gold in the world market. . . . This is a policy and not an expedient." * » * Toe "It-is definitely a part of our policy to increase the rise (of commodity prices) and to extend it to those pro- ducts which have as yet felt no bene- fit. If we cannot do this one way, we will do it another. Do it, we will."

Visit As Significant Of Future Ocean Flying Montreal--"Great Britain is mak- ing even greater strides in aviation," said J. A. Wilson of Ottawa, control- ler of civil aviation, when le return- ed from England recently, In every respect, he declared, the Empire is forging ahead in the air. While he would not say much regarding the prospects of a near future for trans- atlantic air travel, he did say that this is very definitely "in the air." Mr. Wilson, whose visit to England had no official significance, said that the visit of Col. and Mrs. Chas. Lind- bergh is looked upsn in England as having a significant relation to the prospzet of transatlantic oir travel in the near future. There had been no definite pronouncements on the sub- ject but it was anticipated his trans- atlantic trip by easy stages on the northward route, and the possibility of a return via the Azores and Ber- muda, were looked upon as significant, Ridging in the Fall One of the best methods of killing} weeds is to ridge the land in the fall, There are those who claim that there is no benefit in the way of killing rootstocks of sow thistle and couch grass remaining in the soil after summer cultivation. Others re- gard ridging as supplementary to early after-harvesting cultivation in the eradication of weeds. "At Kempt- ville Agricultural School in Ontario ridging is considered an importast tillage practice, all land ploughed early and subsequently top-worked be- ing drilled up in early fall. advantage of ridging is that it aids in getting on the land a few days earlier in the spring which is a de- cided gain on low or heavy land. Some clays tend to run together if left. in a highly cultivated state all winter, but ridging up corrects this. 8 erie Kingsford-Smith Given : Tumultuous Greeting Sydney, Australia, -- An enthusi- astic 'throng of thousands gave Wing Commander Sir Charles Kingsford- Smith a tumultous greeting when he arrived here late completing the nota- ble flight on which he established a new record from England to Aus- tralia.

Mc- Namee, manager of the Royal Auto- mobile Club of Canada said recently in warning of the dangers of au- tumn motoring, ! "Autumn days herald the presence of that dangerous driving season when early darkness, rain, fog, snow, fallen leaves and greasy pavements combine to create extra hazards in the operation of motor vehicles," Mr, McNamee pointed out. "The prudent motorist will take due precautions to see that his lights are in good order and properly focused; that spare bulbs are on hand; that brakes are inspected and adjusted, if necessary, that the treads are not worn too smooth; that chains are in the 'car ready for use when required, and that the windshield wiper is in working order. A few minutes of attention paid to these details at the outset may save much trouble and expense, and possibly avert life-long regrets Lecause of 'serious or fatal mis- "As the temperature drops, it is ad- visable to change the lubricant to a winter grade; to put an anti-freeze mixture in the radiator; to have bat- tories examined and re-charged and to have the generator speed adjusted for winter driving. "It is also timely to remind motor- ists in general, of the danger of run- ning an automobile engine in a con- fined space because of the rapid gen- eration of carbon monoxide, one ~ of the deadliest and most insidious of poison. gases. It would seem unneces- sary to reiterate the folly of indulg- ence in a practice so perilous, except for. the. fact that even in mild weather there have been recurring cases of death and narrow escape from this caude, and with cooler weather immi- nent there is an ever-present tempta- tion for the unthinking motorist to expose himself to the danger created vchen the engine is run in a garage "Carbon monoxide gas is odorless and tasteless, and it is even danger- ous to run a motor in a confined space with doors and windows open." Mr. McNamee also issued an ap- real to motorists asking fér careful driving in school zones and urging that cautious driving be the rule when puddles of water are lying on the pavements in order to avoid splashing pedestrians. : Care at railway crossings the use of hand signals, slow driving on nar- row country roads at night, and care- ful motoring on poorly-lighted city streets were also advised as a means of preventing serious or fatal acci- dents.--Montreal Gazette .
