speaks OF THE
NATIONS wealth
Director of the Mint Roberts Ad.
dresses Bankers Convention
at San Francisco.
Saw. Precious Metal II Foundation OF
Our National Prosperity-DecInr
Shrinkage of Inflated securities
Not Pablo amity-Woric's
stock Of Gold Per Capita.

San Francisco, Oct 24.-All the gold
mined in the world during the year 1917
was worth $290D00000. OF this the
United States furnished sSO,0OO,OOO.
This was a statement made before the
closing session of the convention OF the
American Bankers association yester-
day by Ellis H. Roberts, director OF the
mint. His speech was on THE effects OF
the inflow Of gold"
In the United States on October l,
1903, the value OF the gold money was
1927, 362,631 The amount held in the
national treasury was 1854 ZIG.
Big Increase in Holdings.
Mr.. Roberts produced a long array
OF statistics to prove the contention that
gold is the foundation Of our national
prosperity and said Our stock OF gold
is double that of Great Britain. The in
crease in FIVE years here has been 1876
OBJ 1897. At the present rate our gain
before this calendar year ends, in stock
Of the yellow metal, will exceed that OF
all European countries.
"This, too, when our population is one
NTH OF that of the European countries.
Our stock Of gold is $3.50 per capita;
that OF France is stated at $24 SO; Of Ger
many, S13,54; OF Austria-Hungary, $6O1;
OF Russia, $50; OF Switzerland, 1906;
Of Sweden s342; Of Norway, 1913"
Financial system Safe.
The speaker said that the inflow OF
gold had magnified, II not wholly caused
the frenzy and the excuses in industrial
securities Those who have climbed
must come down In NJ pleasant descent.
But a shrinkage OF inflated securities
to true value Is not public calamity, al
though individuals may be crippled and
though industry and enterprise may
have to rest on their oars Our financial
systems cannot totter
Credit Is Good.
Prices undoubtedly have been borne up
ward by the imitation, Mr.. Roberts de-
clared, and wages follow prices In re-
cent years the ad vance has been swift and
strong. The inflow OF gold has much to
do with this.
AS to the world relations, the gold
Influx, the speaker said that our surpass-
ing wealth has placed our nation s credit
on a plane above that OF all other coun-
tries. We fear no evil from exports of
gold, for we can spare more than Europe
can pay for In American obligations.
