The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms of the Amer
lean dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling, say. at s4,7595. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S65s per pound. thus you
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that collars are at premium,
hich is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than tie demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-

he appointed himself. 1t expresses the
hope that he will recognize the real

ton" for Germany's war needs or to
control all banking business with the
threat of keeping all raw material,
which is indispensable to Germany,
and which will not be obtainable from
the west for a long time.
Harden speaks of Helfferich's work

he also appointed himself, although
