Bankers Acclaim Action.

International bankers hailed with ap-
prevail yesterday the removal of the en-
barge on the movement Of gold and said
That II was long step in the direction
or normal International trade. THE ac-
uon.' said prominent banker. will be
very helpful to exchange transactions,
although l look for no large immediate
movement of gold in or out of this coun-
try Practically the only country that
could take gold from the United States
at once Is Japan, and a relatively small
amount OF gold moving in that direction
would bring exchange rates for yen down
TO normal.
TN fact, the action, by removing the
embargo and permitting the unhampered
movement of gold. will set the interna-
donal business ball rolling. For exam
pie. England could send gold to us. de-
oreasing the amount of her indebtedness
and causing the sterling exchange rate
TO rise. We in turn would send the gold
70 Japan, bringing down the rate for
yen and bringing business between
Yokohama and the financial centres of
the United States back to normal. Then
II the balance OF trade warranted the
gold would find its way back again to
London. where the entire process might
be repeated.
From the point of view of foreign
trade and international business rela-
lions rejoice that the movement of gold
Is to be practically unhampered In tu-
ture. The foreign exchanges have
needed such a step as this for a long
time and many exchange Inequalities will
soon be corrected

History of Embargo.

The embargo on gold exports was
established by the President under Con-
gressional authority after the United
states had been four months at war.
We were then supporting sterling and
French exchange In the American mar
ket with the result that neutral Europe
was selling bills on London and Paris
IN our markets and drawing on the pro-
ceeds. which caused a rapid movement
OF the neutral exchanges against us and
a heavy export of the gold from the
United States especially to Spain.
On September 7, 1917. the President
placed an embargo on exports of coin,
bullion or currency to any foreign coun-
try except by authorization of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. 1t was announced
two weeks later that the board would
authorize no expectation of gold except
when shown to be connected directly
and definitely with a corresponding i'm
port OF merchandise. and when in other
respects compatible with the public
