The Function of Gold.

Gold stabilizes international as well
as national trade and prices. The gold
standard nominally maintained
throughout the war prevented greater
financial and economic disturbances
than actually existed. At the close of
the war the United States held practi-
cally the entire world supply of gold.
Absence Of gold in the warning coun-
tries OF Europe resulted in a deprecia
tion of their paper money and cor
responding rise in prices. Gold dis
appeared altogether in Europe, and its
expectation from this country was pro.
hibited. In fact, for years gold has sell
dom been seen in actual business trans
actions.
Nevertheless, the gold standard re.
manned, Now that the embargo on gold
expectations is removed gold is being
exported rapidly. Since last June 1922
OS5,000 in gold has been exported from
this country mostly to the Orient and
countries which have a balance Of trade
against the United States Settlements
are made in gold. The same gold will
be used by the Orient to settle with
other countries which have balance OF
trade against the Orient Thus gold is
being restored to its natural function
the stabilizing of trade and prices II
will assist in restoring the purchasing
power of the unit of money every.
where. 1t viii bring back the English
pound sterling, the French franc and
the German mark Likewise, it will
assist in restoring the purchasing pow.
er of the American dollar. The gold
standard, although only nominally pre-,
vaiIing, has saved the world from fai
more serious difficulties than those ex.
perienced and will be a controlling fac.
tor in restoring normal times.-New
