Double Price of Gold Urged by Roosevelt Adviser
In Bad Eilsen Germany Prof George F Warren, adviser to President Roosevelt, told an agricultural science conference that the price of gold must be doubled worldwide before international trade can return to pre crisis health. He spoke in the same session as Hjalmar Schacht who proposed a full moratorium on Germany's debts.

Medicine Hat Viewed as Site for Wool Scouring Plant
Medicine Hat may be chosen as the site for a projected wool scouring plant by an Eastern firm. Howard Stutchbury, Alberta trade commissioner, is in the city gathering information to support Alberta’s claim. The backers are Eastern Canadian men with substantial resources and interest in the industry. They seek an annual wool amount of about 2,000,000 pounds, less than half of Alberta’s clip, and note that 50 to 60 percent of wool shipped from the city carries dirt, oil, and grease. If scouring is done locally, savings are evident, and a short-season plant could grow into a larger industry linking clipping, yarn, and knitting. Continued on Page Five.
