1t is said that gold is becoming plainly
scarce in Europe, and that it will not
alone be sufficient as a basis Of money
values or as a currency. The scarcity is
said to be largely on account Of the dis.
appearance of the precious metal. A
great French economist has written q
letter to the London Times in which he
asserts that an international conference
which should restore silver to the cur.
rency would be a great boon to trade.

London dispatches say:S" 1t is believed
in Government circles here that Turkey,
rather than go to war, is willing to cede
territory to Greece in accordance with
the Berlin treaty." In all the muddle of
news about Greece this is the significant
feature. This is what in some spheres of
activity would be called "a pointer"
and it indicates the direction in which a
solution is now sought and is likely TO be
found.
