BY HARRY PAYNE 6OhION.
Berlin.-"What a relief"
That was the thought that flashed
upon me as the luxurious limousine
which Berlin calls taxi" whizzed up
Friederichstrasse and turned into the
famous Inter den Linden.
For, indeed, this capital was a con-
trast. and a most grateful one. to Lon
don. There the darkened streets, ever
expectant of Zeppelins, gave one the
shivers, even more than raw. yellow
fog. Here lights blazed everywhere.
the air was clear and bracing. and
well-dressed crowds were scurrying
to the theaters, to the opera or to
dine at the great restaurants.
Starving Berlin!"
"Saddened Germany" The phrases
of every English newspaper made me
smile.
/ began to wonder. as any neutral
person must wonder who goes from
London to Berlin, just how much OF
the news printed in the papers OF
England Is true-and how much Of the
news printed in the papers OF Ger

No Sign Of Alarm.
The women chartered as lightly as
they do today in New York. Chicago

Here were the young men Of Berlin
with their sweethearts. Most Of them
were less than thirty. and they we're

The band was playing The Blue

BRITISH CONTROL
OF GOLD SUPPLY

An example OF the supreme i'm.
portance Of naval supremacy in war
is furnished by the increase In Great
Britains gold supply, as evidenced
by the Bank Of England reserve, since
the war began. On August Z the
panic resulting from the war had
caused the gold reserve to decrease
to $62 10000 in two weeks, but on
November 26 II had increased to 1851.
100000, which was an increase OF
1929, 900, 900 on the figures OF August
Z. and OF STA 100000 on those OF the
same date in 1913. II exceeded by
Sll5.O00,OOO the highest total ever
reached in the history OF the bank.
This great accumulation OF financial
power was due only partly to recovery
OF gold withdrawn during the war and
panic. and TO payment Of debts by the
United States. About S6O,OOOOOO was
newly produced gold from the British
Transyaal country. In 1911, the last
year for which complete statistics OF
the worlds production are at hand
Great Britain and her colonies pro-
duced 1924, S09.S00 of gold out OF the
world total Of Sl61,5i2,1OO. Her allies
Russia, France, Japan and their
colonies-produced total Of Si2,9Si-
700. bringing the total for the powers
allied against Germany and Austria
up to S317,79i 500, or 6S.S per cent OF
the worlds total. Germany produced
only $4,000, and Austrla-Hungary
S21Sj,1 100.
The allies produce gold to finance
the war in their own dominions and
so long as they control the sea, they
can prevent any gold from reaching
their enemies. even from neutral
countries like the United States,
which in 1911 produced S9S,S9O.OOO in
gold. Could Germany obtain naval
supremacy, she could seize the treas.
ure ships carrying gold from South
Africa, Australia. Canada and India
to England, and could use the spells
OF war in paying its costs. Could
Germany also conquer the Transvaal
and Australia, she could defeat ef-
forts to withhold shipments, for she
would control the countries producing
more than S25O,OOO,OOO OF the British
gold supply.-Portland Oregonian.
