GOLD LOSSES WORRY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Question Of Economy Is Being Con
sidered as Means Of Conserving
Nations Wealth.
Correspondence Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 25.-While the Ameri-
can exchange problem Is being appa-
rently ignored by the British govern
ment, which is content to let gold slip
away in small quantities without max
ing an effort to meet it's Indebtedness
to the United States. much advice is
being given by economists. through
the medium Of the press, as to the
most efficacious method of dealing with
this problem. which. with an adverse
trade balance Of several hundred mill
lions sterling. grows more pressing
every week.
One writer advocates compulsory
economy to reduce imports, and argues
that if the American exchange con-
tinues against Great Britain the prices
of foodstuffs and other necessaries will
continue to rise. 1t may develop that
there will soon be no exchange at all,
as in the case of Petrograd, where
there exists only a nominal exchange
of 20 per cent against her, and gold
expectation prohibited by law.
Russia, however. is in the position Of
being self-contained SO far as food
advocates bread tickets as the only
method Of making the bulk of the
English population earning large and
increasing weekly wages economic, re-
marking that appeals useless IN Ger
many. a nation trained in docility. will
be equally inefffcacious here"
Another, in strongly urging the great
wage earning British public to save
portion of the weekly wage. in order
that the government may borrow it
later at interest, says the fact must
not be overlooked that while trade is
supposedly good, We are not trading
under ordinary circumstances. and
practically all engineering firms. shup-
manufacturers,
while paying out wages and piling up
profits, are really trading with the
government and not adding to the
wealth of the nation. A million pounds
spent on cotton produces wealth dis
tributable in many channels, and also
assists exports, whereas the same sum
spent on munitions is trading with the
government only.

It is the same old story in the bank
ing business, small legitimate inquiry
for accommodations and large supplies
of loanab BILE funds on hand.
This state of affairs makes the bond
salesman's business excellent, for the
banks are good customers and buy
large quantities of high-grade securi-
ties, in order to keep their funds en-
ployed to the best advantage. Bankers
seek short-term maturities where pos
sibie. but always insist on high-grade
securities.
Investments of this character have
been very profitable for some time past
yielding not only the interest, but
about l. to per cent profits when
liquidated.
Collections give much cause for com
plaint to bankers, but they are ex-
tremely generous to borrowers who
make proper curtails. Rates are from
5 to per cent.
