UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
VOL. XXX
Monetary System of U.S. Explained by Noted Speaker
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1932
Walter O. Woods, National Treasurer, Expounds Financial Order Functions
Kansans are better informed on the things that are going on in Washington than the persons who live in the District of Columbia are, because Kansans have a vote which District of Columbia residents do not, said Walter O. Woods, United States treasurer, speaking before the All-Star Game. This man, Mr. Woods attended the University from 1890 to 1892, and was a student here at the same time William Allen White was here.
LAUDS R. F. C. PLAN
In reviewing the rise and fall of prices in the last few years, Mr. Woods said that no living man knows what prices are going to do. According to him, if any man did have such knowledge, he could gather in all of the government, he asserted, his money in government, he asserted, has nothing to do with speculation.
"We need an even more complete, explanation of our monetary system in the face of the present political contest," he said. "The treasury is central to the Federal Reserve system—the foundation and stabilizing element in our American system, the bonus demands control of our currency system, Congressional appropriation rules, the role of the treasury is the watch-dog of our financial system."
'More Money in Circulation'
Commenting on the present financial crisis, Major Woods said, "The misconception that exists concerning the idea that there is less money in circulation. Actually there is more money in circulation, but the curtailment of credit, which is the very life of the commmerce, has worked to the detachment of our entire economic system."
In defending our Federal Reserve system in time of crises, the treasurer related the immense burdens placed upon the system during the World war and of the success with which it functioned in keeping gold in our country. "Actually," he said, "it kept from distracting our financial system."
War Debts Cause Panic
According to the speaker, "No man knows the prices of the piece, for if he did, he would gather in all the wealth of the world." Emphasis was on the importance of the government has nothing to do with speculation except in issuing federal bonds.
War Bomb Case
Continuing with the progress of the depression, Mr. Wald told of the unpleasant war when the time for payment of war debts arrived. The moratorium was adopted as a means of relief. "When England went off the gold standard, all Europe thought that the United States would be forced off this standard too. There was a rush gold England卖了金砖。The seller demanded gold, and this was responsible for a tremendous run," he said.
At that time, the Federal Reserve hold most of the gold of the world. Each member of the Federal Reserve system attempted to draw out gold.
The Reconstruction Finance corporation had two purposes, Major Woods explained. It had to stop bank failures and supply a reservoir. This protected 40 million people who had savings in the bank and would be hit too. Patriotism was put above party and bonds were reissued and increased from $2,000,000 to $3,800,000, according to Mr. Woods. In January, Charles G. Dawes ambassador to England, was called back to help at night, ending night and day, the bank failures were stopped almost immediately.
No. 39
Mr. Woods stated that the soldiers should be taken care of, but that the controversy over the bonus hinges on the question: Have they right to demand 13 years of unarmed interest? The soldiers demanded all of the paper money in which the interest that is accumulating until the bonus is due.
Joint Meeting Postponed
The joint meeting of W.S.G.A. and the Mea's Student Council, which was originally scheduled at 8 tonight, has been postponed. No deinite date has been set, but the meeting will probably be held some time within the next week or 10 days, Harold Denton, c33, president of the Council, said today.
Weather Normal
Rainfall Is Light, but Temperature Is
During the month of October, one of the few things that has remained normal is the temperature, according to this university meteorological station,
Near Average
Discounting the wind which has whipped over the campus on many days this month, the weather has been ideal for football, or as the thermometer reads an average of 55.77 degrees above zero. This is within 0.29 degrees of the normal, the nearest it has approached since 1969.
Students not too engrossed in their studies might have noticed the rain falling at various times the past month, especially if they were wearing a new hat which would have been wrecked. However, the rainfall was more than 50 per cent under normal, a fast interruption to farmers it for to undergraduate.
Bedroom windows were not raised quite so high before retiring this past month. The lowest temperature was reached on Oct. 11, which may be remembered as the night overcrops were drafted into service as blankets.
The warmest day of the month was the eighteenth, when the temperature struck a high of 85 degrees.

Leaving the safety of the ivy-jungle walls of Princeton a few years ago, Halliburton set out to see the world. In the course of his journeys, every obstacle seemed to fire his imagination and challenge his strength. Mountains, rivers, deserts and forest have all been conquered by the modern Odeas in America.
As Halliburton pursued his wanderings, which have extended to the far corners of the earth, he made notes of and photographed all that he found interesting. Returning now from his latest achievement in which he flew 40,000 miles around the world, his lecture will be replete with thrill, it is said.
