between India and gold standard coun-
tries. It is generally recognized that
fluctuations of exchange cons titute an
obstacle to international trade, the true
interests Of which are to be sought in a
stable monetary power Of exchange"
The report then discusses the prin-
ciple of a gold standard and says:
AT the present time, the practical al
tentative to silver monometallism is
gold standard, that is to say, gold as
the measure of value in India either
with q gold currency or a gold reserve.
'Four-ffths Of the foreign trade Of
India is with gold standard countries
and for this reason it is desira BILE that
India should have the same measure of
value as those countries. The change
to a gold basis has been presented to
US by Prof. Marshall Of Cambridge, as
like a movement toward bringing the
railway gauge on the side branches of
the worlds railways into unison with
the main lines
a further and certainly not a less
important consideration for a country
like India is that an established gold
standard is the simplest and most effec-
tive means Of attracting capital"
In conclusion the report says:
For these reasons we conclude that
steps should be taken to avoid all posi-
bility of doubt as to the determination
not to revert to q, silver standard, but
to proceed with measures for the effec-
tive establishment of gold standard

He has five Jersey COWS which

Yesterday he bought fifty head of

the new gasoline stoves work per-

on account of the cheapness Of
