not practicable TO increase the taxes of
India to any considerable degree. The
committee concludes that the requirement
of a reserve may be left to the future and
that the present silver currency of India
may be maintained at a fixed value Of
gold by supplying such quantities of gold
as are needed for foreign remtttances.
That. they say. they regard as the prin-
Cipal use of a natural reserve.
In fact, that is precisely the service
performed by the gold reserve of the
United States. The Indian committee re-
fers TO the example of the United States.
It is recommended that the Indian mints
be opened TO the unrestricted coinage of
gold and that the British sovereign be
made a legal tender upon the theory that
gold will flow in as more money is need
ed and that eventually a considerable
share of the currency will thus come to
be Of sold The significance of the report
is in the determtnation not TO open the
minis. The policy Of India may now be
assumed to be, settled
When asked if there was any reason
to expect such movement of gold to
India as might disturb money markets
/ in the worlds centers Mr.. Roberts re-
piled: There is not. India cannot draw
any more than she can pay for, and she is
not rich enough, or likely to develop eX-
ports fast enough to make her demands
serious She has taken nine or ten million
dollars worth of Australian gold this
year. She cannot possibly take a sum
that will absorb the increase of this year ;
gold production over last.
Does the final adoption of the gold
standard by India have any bearing upon
our foreign trade?'
1T places the wealth producers of both
countries on a common level replied Mr..
Roberts, land dispOses of the old argu-
ment that the Indian farmer has an ad-
vantage over the American farmer, be
cause he receives his pay in a falling
currency. Whatever intricacies there
once were on the subject have been
cleared up. for the Indian farmer, like
the American farmer, is now paid by the
gold standard. The alleged advantage
was an illusory one. for he only held it
while the currency continued to fall. and
then only after he could work it off on
tryman at a former value. Furthermore.
in the nature Of things a currency must
stop falling some time, when it becomes
worthless. if not sooner. This committee
agrees with the Indian Government that
the interests of that country as a whole
demand that the depreciation of its money
should cease and that its financial system
should be linked TO that Of the other i'm
pOrtant nations of the world"
