PLANS WORLD GOLD FUND.
Move to Eliminate Necessity of
Shipping Metal Between Countries.

To facilitate foreign exchange
transactions and to eliminate the ne
cessity of shipping quantities of gold
between countries, it is possible that
there will be established gold set
tlemenr fund of several hundred mil
lion dollars. The question is under
discussion among financial advisers
of the allied governments and may
be plani,ed at the forthcoming peace
conference.
Purpose of the fund would proba-
bly, be to form the basis for future
transactions between nations and it
is thought probable the Bank Of Eng
land will be the depository.
Allleo hnanciers propose tentatively
that han billion dollars be the
maximum size of the fund at first
The Omitted States would contribute
probably not more than 100000, 600.
Legislation would be necessary in this
country as preliminary. The fund
would be used only for current trans
actions, not to settle debts now owed
the United States by inc allies
