AMERICA is RE NCHES
PAYING FOR RECAPTURED
PROSPERITY BY TEUTONS
Director Of Mint Tells Why
Cost Of Living in United
States Is Mounting Upward
by Leaps and Bounds

Washington. Oct. 20.--"America's s
great prosperity Is in itself rospon-
slble for the high cost OF living"
Director of the Mint Won Engelken
held today.
With more gold In It's vaults. more
money circulated. and the greatest
export trade In history. the United
States. he said. is at once reaping a
golden harvest and---to mix the meta
phor paying the piper; the piper be-
Ing the high cost OF living.
His explanation was: Export trade
brings an unprecedented quantity OF
gold here. There Ia such a vast de-
mand for goods that prices rise re-
sponsively. Mork workers than
heretofore are employed and they are
getting larger wages than previously.
And while these workers supply the
goods. their wages. drawn from the
immense store OF gold. buy more
goods than before. thus helping swell
the abnormal demand. and the con-
seQuent price increases.
Wages. he admits. have not fully
kept pace with prices--as usual--but
he hopes for an altered condition in
the early future.
The high cost OF living" he said.
is creature OF our own creation.
The United States Is normally n bor-
rowing nation. Capital utilized for
construction in the past has been re-
cruited largely abroad, Our economic
AFFAIRS consequently have been ad-
justed tosmeet our customary outflow
OF money required to pay our interest
bills In foreign countries.
THE sudden reversal OF this con-
dition. the retention Of interest pay
ments at home. coupled with re-
versal OF the usual trade conditions,
presents an unusual and extraordin-
ary economic problem. For the pre-
sent we are reaping a golden harvest
and are spending II In turn with
prodigal hand.
1T la to he hoped We will not be-
come so accustomed to the present
ability to supply our various personal
needs that we will find II difficult to
adjust ourselves to the more normal
state OF affairs that will confront us,
we hope In the very near future"
Mints are working "a hours a day
trying to keep up with the demands
for coins. In the last two years
s700. 200, 900 in gold over the usual
importations has poured into the
United States. Figures showing the
following relative demand for coins
for the periods from January to
October II last year and this year
were:

THE gold Is sent to this country
in payment for goods purchased"
said the director, at follows that
an extraordinary market has opened
up for the sale of our goods to the
extent OF gold importations, The
greater the demand for goods abroad,
the less goods we have to supply our
own demands and as the price Is
representative of supply and demand,
an increase In prices necessarily fol-
lows
"Tho extraordinary demand on this
country has stimulated industry and,
in many cases, the profits are out of
the ordinary. As n direct result y
