President Wilson was informed to.

Of J. p. Morgan n Co.. that the bal

recently in favor Of the United States
as to make unnecessary a longer con-

'Mr. Morgan came here to discuss

Mr.. Morgan is understood to have
pointed out to the President that.
whereas at the outbreak of the war
in Europe II was necessary to raise the
gold pool to meet foreign debts OF
American merchants. more recently
Europe has come to buy more from the
United States than she sells to this

not been necessary to send the gold

for use in this country. In the mean.
