DELEGATE AND
 M 'AD00 AGREE
 ABOUT SUBSIDY

Some time ago communication was received from Delegate Sulzer concerning the subsidizing of the gold production of the country and later a telegram was received by the Commercial club covering the same subject. In his communica- tion the delegate mentioned taking the matter up with Secretary w. G. McAdoo as far as Alaska was con- cerned. MT. McAdoo's reply to the delegate was as follows:-
 Treasury Department. Washington. June 10, 1918.
 Hon. Charles A. Sulzer
 House of Representatives,
 Washington. D. C.,
 My dear MT. Sulzer: beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your let ter of June 1, in relation to the present conditions surrounding the production of gold in Alaska. I fully appreciate that, with the rising cost of raw material and labor and with fixed value for their output, the gold miners of the world are facing difficult conditions. should be sorry, however, if for this reason there were any relaxation in the effort to produce gold. At no time has this country so much required the larg- est possible production of gold as at present. Next to food and am munition, gold is one of the most needed war essentials. In order to place the enormous amount of gov ernment bonds required to finance our war expenditures large credit structure will inevitably be erected on our gold reserves, and 1t is neces- sary that those reserves, which are the foundation of the structure. shall be maintained on the broadest pos sible basis.
 "The United States and its asso- ciates in the war are heavy pur- chasers of raw materials and other commodities for the war in many neutral countries, and our war re- quirements make it impossible for us to pay our bills in those neutral countries as we have been in the habit of paying them in times of peace, viz, through the shipment of manufactured goods and commodi- ties which those countries are eager to buy from us. This means that certain amount of debt to those countries must be paid for in credits or in gold.
 "This brief statement will. l hope. make clear to your constituents the great necessity that exists for the maintenance of gold production at the maximum point. The man or the community that maintains or in creases its production of gold in the face of difficulties and discourage ment is performing patriotic ser vice which deserves recognition no less than the more obvious but not less useful services that are more in the public eye.
 "I remain, with best wishes,
 Every sincerely yours.
 wv. c. M'ADOO,
 Secretary"
 The importance of the production of gold is becoming matter to be considered among the high men of the nation, and in the near flu. ture the mining men of the interior will be called upon to perfect some organization by which the output will be greatly increased.
