EATON RESIGNS TO AID CANADIAN BRAIN TRUST

Gold Standard Authority Promotes Federal Government Central Bank in Ottawa

Albert K. Eaton, instructor in economies, has resigned from Harvard in order to engage in research for the Deputy Minister of Finance of the Canadian government. Eaten will take part in a Canadian "Brain Trust," but since Eaton's position is permanently assured by civil service examinations, it differs from that of President Roosevelt's advisers in Washington.

Eaten, under the official title of tax investigator, will promote the creation of a Central Bank for Canada. Such an idea has already been approved by a royal commission and the project comes up before the house this session.

Commenting on this appointment yesterday, Eaten said, "Canada should closely follow the gold policy of the United States. The dominion is more closely related economically to America than to any other country. In the extent or Washington's returning to the gold standard Ottawa will hasten to follow the American example."
