Of the rights transferred IRON Denmark
to the U. S., for we all agreed that the
National Bank should remain mere and
live out the term of its charter. But |
have made the quotation to show that
under certain conditions the issue of the
Notes could be restricted.
The am of those who adopted the
Resolution, which reduced to its last
anal sis, is to obtain { change in the
currency, in other words, change the
reading of tie Notes and make them
conform in value to the National curren-
cy; and it can be done. An example:
In Porto Rico there was at the time
the United States took possession Of the
island a Spanish Bank tnat had the right
to issue Be nix Notes redeemable in Span
lSh currency, and the same issue was
raised there as is now raised here. with
the result that the Bank stamped acrOs
the face of it's notes ''Moneda America
ma, thus making the notes to read pay
able in U. S.. Currency.
This Pto. Rico Bank had a concession
from the Royal Spanish Government,
and the United States was bound to
respect that concession like any other
ard it did so; yet the issuing by the
Bank of Notes ~redeemable in u. S. gold
was arranged in a satisfactory manner
and without violating any clause of that
cor vention. Why should It be so difficult
in our case?
The discussion in regard to the change
Of currency is being hedged around with
so many supposed difficulties, in some
quarters, that the arguments advanced
in support of their contention seems
more academic and hypothetical than
practical.
There are many here who have reason
to believe that a way to introduce the
National currency in these isl nds can be
found without infringing the rights of
the Bank or violating the sale convention
in any manner or form. The question
won't be settled in these islands. The
four big banks in Denmark with their
Directors will be called upon to discuss
this matter in connection with Secretary
Lansing and Minister Brun.
The Joint Stock Company can certainly
agree to any reasonable proposition
The question stands thus at present:
The good OF the people, versus a iuctuat-
ing high rate of exchange.

on the firm foundation of a monetary
standard that cannot fuctuate here,
remoVe TO a certain extent causes for
discomfort, but also cheaper m~easureablv
the neceSSarieS of life.
With the introduction of the u. S. Cur
rency t1uctuating rates of exchange on
New York must disappear, and only a
nominal charge for issuicg hills on N. Y.
remains. And it is we'll to remember
mat TOR a long time to come the u. s..
dollar will be appreciated, and for this
reason its purchasing power will be
greater III things-in-general in this is
land. 1t will also tend to cheaper I'M
ports from England and France. And if
THESE propositions are true, and they
are true; shall we not as a people ask
that they be granted unto US? Are we to
Glamour for everything American save
the currency? We do not pretend to say
how il shall be done, nor do we attempt
to Indicate the means whereby it may be
done; but we do that which common
sense dictates; we ask those who are to
help us, to do this thing for US. Despite
all that has been said 70 the contrary. we
are convinced that it can be done with
out harm to anybody and without violat-
ing any part Of the Convention.
Some persons who are in favour of the
change of currency are Of the opinion
that the moment is unfavorable on ac-
count Of the present high rate of ex-
change. The foreign exchange has
nothing to do with this matter. The
Resolution asks that the change be eff
fected at the Mint par of Exchange, a
technical term that can be explained.
1t is the expression of the money of
one country in terms of the money of
another country and has nothing to do
with the course of trade. Thus the
English Sovereign is equivalent approx
mately to Is. 221 French gold franc or to
4. 866 U. S. GOLD dollars. Where coun-
tries use the same metal for their
money such relation of their stand
ard coins is called the mint par of
exchange, and is a mere matter of physi-
cal measurement. Hence as long as
there is no alteration of the standard
coinage in either country the mint par of
, 1919-11-18

exchange between the two must remain
the same, just as the relation between
yards and metres remain the same.
From the foregoing it will be seen by
any one what the relation between the
u. S.. GOLD dollar and 5 d. W. |. gold
francs must be if we remember that the
French gold and the D. ", |. gold coins
are practically of the same weight and
fineness. Whatever the relative value
may be, will constitute the base for the
exchange, and not what is known as
foreign exchange.
Two other points remain to be CON
sidered, and they are worthy of consider
alton.
1t is claimed that Denmark grant
ed US the right to coin the local
currency, SO that the colonies may
pay off long standing debts. This
would imply that the colonies trea-
suries profited largely by this right
The question then very naturally suggests
itself: In what years budget did these
amounts figure? 1t would be very inter
esting to the public to be informed on
this point. What was the amount OF the
profits, and what long standing debts did
these profits liquidate. A reference to
the Law Concerning the Monetary System
in the D. w. l. says:
Paragraph 4, Small coins shall be
coined of silver, nickel and bronze"
Para. IA, 'AlI coming is performed
by the home government. Small
coins shall be coined for the State
Treasmry'S account" Wide St. Tho
mas Tidende, LIST June 1904
If the coming of small coins were for
the State Treasury's account. then the
profits accruing therefrom went into the
same treasury. This needs only a query:
Did the State use this profit for the
islands benefit, and for what particular
purpose?
The second point is the Bank Notes
1t is the centre around which the whole
dispute circles, it is the pivot.
In the Law concerning a d. w. |. Bank
of issue, given at Amalienborg in 1904
we find in
Paragraph II. The State shall fur
thermore before the expiration Of the term
of concession have the fright to revoke or
restrict the right of the Bank to issue
Bdmk Notes.. Provision is made in this
paragraph whereby the Joint Stock Com
pany shall ne entitled to demand that
the state shall take over all the assets
and liabilities Of the Bank etc.
What is to be noted here in connection
with the request for the withdrawal of
the D. w. |. currency is the expressed
right reserved by the Danish State to
restrict or revoke the right Of the Bank
