CTo BE CONTINUED
CHILEAN GOLD RESERVE HERE
Peculiar Deal by Which II Was
Transferred From Germany to
the United States.

AT the outbreak of the war, says
the London Economist, the Chilean
government owned a large amount Of
gold in Germany, which was destined
to form a basis for its note issue, and
was held up by the blockade. So were
vast quantities of nitrates, bought
from German producers in Chile for
export to Germany, and their stoppage
compelled the German nitrate pro-
ducers in Chile to cease working.
These producers too were in debt to
the Chilean government. That gov
eminent therefore bought the nitrate,
paying for 1t by drafts on Berlin
drawn against the gold which It could
not reach. 1t then sold the nitrate In
the United States to the DUPONT Ex-
plosives company, receiving payment
In gold in New York. Thus it trans
ferred its gold reserve from Germany
to the United States, and incidentally
added to the stock Of raw material to
be converted into explosives where
with to defeat German troops. The
deal has naturally been interpreted in
France as a preliminary step toward
a breach with Germany. but it was
carried out with the sanction of the
German government. Partly. no doubt,
the latter desired to extricate its sub
jects in Chile and an important Ham,
burg mercantile firm from their seri-
Gus pecuniary difficulties, but 1t must
also have been moved by an extreme
anxiety to keep on good terms with
Chile. which contains a large German
population and is an important field
for German trade.
