The story that decentralization of gold
by the allied powers is threatened is
derided.
With respect to the sale of an unse-
cured loan by Great Britain or other

pend on American investors to decide
the merits.
The board, however, is concerned over

able gain OF gold after the war, and it
is giving more and more thought to the
situation. The members of the board
