ter they land their cargoes they Will

the War,

LONDON. June 1S.-Under the heading.
"Is the Bank Of Spain Solvent?" the Statist
lergthily discusses Spain's financial posi-
ton, saying:
Upon the banks ability to finance the
government depends the continuation and
duration of the war. Practically the SPAN
ish government Is now reduced to the ex-
pedient of using the printing press to meet
its war outlays, and the longer that print
ing press is In operation and the more notes
are issued the greater will be the deprecia-
tion in the value of the paper peseta If the
war lasts much longer we may see the
paper peseta, which. is now at discount
OF 50 per cent, depreciate as did the as
signat of France ut the close of the last
century. The formal suspension of specie
payments cannot long be delayed Indeed,
the suspension has practically occurred"
The Statist then presents an array Of
figures. showing the exact position of the
bank, with note circulation of Isis. 900 600
pesetas. without any coin reserve available
for rs redemption. and further pointing
out that such rote circulation may be ih-
creased to ESQ, 900. Finally. the Statist
says ;hat, In three years the Spanish and
Cuban governments have borrowed 1,0O0-,
ta,Ce0 pesetas from the Bank of Spain.
