Will the President Talk to the
Photograph
To Interest the People and Help the Red Cross'

W. j. Smith, in his newspaper the Daily Sun, Of Wauke
gan Ill., offers interesting suggestion to the President,
the Red Gross, and the talking machine companies.
He believes that good record telling the people in
the Presidents voice just what the Red Gross is and
what does would bring in profit Of at least two millions
to the Red Gross organization We should say that the profit
would be much larger than two millions The suggestion is
American and busnesslike
The President unfortunately has little time except for
things that MUST be done The wonder is that he finds time
even for those things.
Otherwise it would be most interesting to map out for
him series of talking machine records that would interest
the people
For instance when he speaks to the Senate House Of
Representatives Cabinet and Supreme Court gathered to-
geher crowds struggle for admission to the galleries and
the whole world listens.
If it were possible have those speeches talked into
records for general distribution throughout the country mil
lions people in theater and other public places could hear
the talk of the President in his voice while he was ad
dressing the smaller audience in Washington.
There is no doubt that the public would value and pur
chase millions of cylinders giving the Presidents opinion
in his own sharp quiet way various subjects For In
stance the German Kaiser the American proeer the luke
patriot.
The world is interested in preserving for the future the
voice the greatest in the world of music 1t would be even
deeply interested in preserving the combined thought
and voice Of the in charge of the worlds greatest war

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Observers Of the foreign exchange
market last week saw nothing in the
narrow rate fluctuations to indicate
that it was rejecting the war news on
the Western front. Exceptionally quiet
conditions peryaded the market and
few changes of significance we're made.
The most striking movement was in
lire bills, the cable rate for which yes
terday went to 500. The rate Friday
was 8.49. The quotation for checks
followed the same course. Yesterdays
rate was the highest level attained in
the last six months, and indicates that
the plan now under way for stabilizing
Italian exchange is succeeding. Lire
bills have been strong all week. The
Improvement of the rates in favor of
Italy is due to the control of the mar
ket jointly by the Italian authorities
and the Federal Reserve Board.
Rates on Spain and India showed
some weakness yesterday, but for the
other five days of the week were
steady. With the exception of these
few changes the market was stable.
Dealers in exchange remarked that sell
dom had they found conditions in the
market more dull.

with week ago, follow:

Is Gold Mining
An Essential Industry

The question therefore presents it.
self: Is the production of gold neces-
sity, and is gold mining an essential
industry?
In order to determine this, some of
the operators from Alaska, through
Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, from that
country, raised this question with Mr.
William McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury, who, in letter addressed
to Mr.. Sulzer dated June 10, 1918, very
clearly and forcibly defines the posi-
ton Of the gold mining industry as
next to that Of the production of food
and ammunition, pointing out at the
same time the necessity of increasing
the gold reserve Of the country to sus-
tain the great credit structure now
being developed in order to finance the
war.
The use Of gold as the basis Of credit
and exchange has been 80 firmly estab-
lished and has proved so universally
satisfactory, and its occurrence in
nature, its physical and chemical char
acteristics are such that it may be
positively stated that no other commod-
ity compares with gold for this partic-
ular purpose, and there is no other
likely or possible substitute.
Nor will there be so long as there
are separate nations and governments
on the face of the earth; all balances
in international trade must be paid
for in some fixed and Interchangeable
medium like gold.
Nations will not accent the ran>r -

Relevant Comment
Russian Trade Relations

American exporters who are inter
ested in resuming trade relations with
Russia seem to agree that the coopera-
tive societies there furn sh the most
available medium for economic inter
course. These organizations now have
a total membership estimated at 49,
100000 men, representing the varied
composition of the Russian population.
They are economic units and are not
swayed by political adjustments. They
consist of producers cooperative or
CARNATIONS, consumers cooperative So
cieties, cooperative credit unions. CO.
operative workers leagues and peasant
cooperative societies. These coopera-
tive societies are not a product of the
revolution of 1917, but represented the
democratic elements in Russia while
the Gear still sat on the throne.

TIME attention Of the Treasury
Department Of the United

TIME attention Of the Treasury
Department of the United
States and, in limited degree,
of members of Congress- and the bank
ing industry Of the country has recent
ly been called to the serious situation in
which the gold mining industry Of
America and the world finds itself, due
to the materially increased cost of labor
and supplies, resulting from the war.
and the unique fact that the value Of
the product produced-gold-fxe in
price by the government, has therefore
had no proportionate increase in It's
market value.
By far the greater quantity of gold
now produced necessarily comes from
low grade deposits in which the margin
Of profit, even in normal times, over
and above working costs, is compare
lively small. This is true because Of
the unusual occurrence of gold as
found in nature. While it is widely
distributed, such distribution occurs, as
a rule, in minute quantities, and high
grade deposits resulting from unusual
concentration, arc, by the very nature
Of things, rare.

Declining Ratio
OF Gold Cover

G' NI. dCecISOIls OIL INC university
of Pennsylvania, discussing our ma
tional financial situation in The New
York Tribune, points out that although
the amount of gold held by the Reserve
banks has almost doubled, the ratio of
gold to net deposits and Federal Re-
serve notes combined has fallen in tho
last year from 83 per cent to 81 per
cent"
The quantity of gold coming into the
United States and now held by the
United States was doubled because of
the tremendous quantities of war ma
terials and supplies sold to the foreign
governments which had to be paid for
in gold, and in consequence this gold,
heretofore held in reserve by England,
France and other countries, temporarily
found its way to this country.
1t is unlikely this condition will con-
tinue now that we have entered the
war, for our large armies now in
France require huge expenditures, and
purchases made in foreign countries
must be paid for in gold and, as Mr..
McAdoo has pointed out in his letter,
we are, at least for the time being,
compelled to pay for our purchases
from neutrals in gold, because we re-
quire all Of our own supplies and there
fore have no balance of trade with
them.
Combining this fact and that the
producing and operating gold mines of
the country will be compelled to dis
continue operations unless assistance
is given, it can be seen that the gold
reserve held by the United States be-
cause of the necessity Of the additions al
issue of new bonds, certificates, etc, in
order to finance the war, will suffer q
further and material decrease IN the
immediate future.
AS a matter Of actual fact, the
United States is paying out to-day gold
to neutrals for purchases at a fixed
value which is considerably Yess than
the cost of producing it.
There is an international phase Ia
this gold situation which apparently
has been lost sight of, having direct
and most important bearing on the war
itself.
AS has been pointed out by Mr.. Hen.
men Jennings, consulting engineer Of
the Bureau of Mines. 81 per cent OF
the gold and gold mining districts of
the world are owned and controlled by
the Allies-France, England and the
United States. Approximately, l per
cent only is owned and controlled by
the Central Powers. with whom we
are at war, and 9 per cent in the hands
OF neutraIs. AS will be seen from the
following, this Is not alone an inter
estlng fact, but one which, if prop.
erly handled as q war measure, car
be used to very great advantage hs
