Gold Problem
Is International

! The problem is, therefore, an inter
national or world problem, and the
same may be said of the problem Of
gold. Gold will not recover it's lost
value until the present inflated prices
disappear. Action by any one country,
however, in proceeding to rectify its
price situation would probably do much
to focus international attention on the
problem and to suggest the advisable
lty of taking similar action. Indeed
the recent reports of the British Com
mlttee on Currency and Foreign Ex-
changes After the War and of the Com
mlttee on Financial Facilities of Trade
After the War show that the matter is
having the studied attention of the
most competent authorities in Great
Britain, and that there is unanimity in
the opinion that the restoration of an
effective gold standard is one of the
best forms of protection against
further increase of imitation And, it,
may be added, it is one of the best rem
edes for the imitation which already
exists.
If policies and views in our own and
ether leading commercial countries run
IN favor of reducing price levels by a
process of liquidation and contraction.
there is nothing at all to fear from the
present diminished production of gold.
The restoration of the gold standard
and the monetary practices associated
with it in the leading gold standard
countries could soon be resumed. thus
restoring gold to the exercise of its I'M
portant pre-war function, namely, that
OF regulating, through its international
HOW, price levels in the different coun-
trlse, in accordance with international
conditions of demand and supply. a
junction which has been pretty much
IN allegiance throughout the last four
years. But, even if only moderate prog
ress should be made in liquidation of
war credit and much of the present in
hatlon in the Western world be con-
tlnued, there is nothing in the present
diminished production of gold that need
awaken concern, least Of all in the
United States.

Supply Adequate
For Reserve Needs

Much as l believe that the permanent
economic interest of the United States
and OF the nations with which we have
been associated require that the infa
tionism produced by the war should be
cured by diminution of banking liza
bilities, l still believe that the supplv
OF gold possessed and controlled by
them Is large enough to supply bank
ing reserve adequate to maintain an
effective gold standard, if the supply be
redistributed, and providing some of
the monetary practices begun during the
war, which have resulted in great
economy in the use of gold, be con-
tinued and the light thrown by the aex-
pgrience Of the war upon the ability Of
a given unit of metallic reserve to sus
tam much larger volume of credit
than vas assumed in pre-war DAYS NAV
pc taken as guide in the future.
Following the classic example OF
england, the gold standard countries
pretty generally pursued the policy Of
maintaining considerable volume Of
gold coin in actual circulation. mo
gold standard without gold currcn-
cy" represented the orthodox view
During the war the policy Of conccn
tfat'ng the gold scattered in the chan
neis OF circulation and the pockets Of
the people into great reserve institu-
tions has been systematically followed.
with the results that are reflected in
the vast 'ncrcase in the gold holdings
Of our Federal Reserve banks and
many Of the central banks in other
countries at rate far in excess Of
the annual output Of gold from the

Influx of Man
Power Is Expected

| am quoting the best authorities in
the country when I say that heavy
influx of immigrants is expected dur
ing the next five or ten years. This
expectation is based on solid grounds
This country is in a position to offer
copious livelihood without undue delav
to settlers at the rate of more half a
million people yearly. In the three
prairie provinces 100000 acres of
land are under cultivation. There are
272,000,0O0 acres of good land waiting
for the plough. Many millions OF PEG.
pie can be located within easy reach
of she 10000 miles Of railways which
the country possesses. The Federal
and provincial governments are adopt
ing thoroughgoing methods to make it
reasonably easy for newcomers to pur-
chase and celtivate land
The fact that Canada is not full
grown nation makes it incumbent that
orr industries should be protected
against the older established indus
tries of other nations. That is why
we cling to the national fiscal policy
Hitherto Canada has been divided too
much into rival camps. The farmers
of Western Canada, united as they have
become, are powerful political factor
and will steadily become more so. One
important movement under way is to
make the East and West one in pur-
pose. Many farmers are opposed to
the present tariff. Manufacturing in
terests of Eastern Canada demand the
maintenance of tariff. There is a
middle ground between a high tariff
and free trade, to which both parties
may become reconciled
Intimate as Canada's association is
with the United States. the bond be-
tween Canada and the United Kingdom
is closer. 1t is from Britain that the
bulk of Canada's business must come
If we are going to continue our pros

tablish a thoroughgoing imperial pref
erential tariff system that will MAIN

Value of
Concentration

With respect to the function of pro-
vldlng gold to meet foreign demands.
1T Is the absolute quantity of gold held
under banking control, rather than the
reserve ratio, that counts. The con-
centration, therefore, of the bulk Of
the stock of monetary cold in all the
leading countries under banking con-
troll means great extension of the
facilities for the international mobjliza-
ton Of gold--the loss of given amount
from large reservoir of gold bulkinp
as lesser loss than from smaller re-

the latter case was in first instance
higher than in the former. The gold

Reserve System internationally consid-

What Further
Initiation Would Mean

1t will be the purpose of further dis
cussions to show that continuous in
f1ation would mean:
CD further upward movement in
prices, with low real wages.
CD temporary suspension of any
further rise in interest rates;
CD Support of advance for security
prices;
(4) Expanding business margins with
the continued intense activity in indus
try;
90 And, finally, so great an expan-
sion of the demand for borrowing funds
at the higher price level as to put an
end to easy "money'-and as to
set III process sharp reaction in the
direction of higher interest rates.
Therewith, in time, must come reac
ton in the security markets. Stability
is still the thing to be desired
What, then, are the short-time and
the longtime movements actually in
prospect? In the main, be it repeated.
the long-run tendencies are questions
of political and financial policy. The
answers lie, then, not with economies.
but with prophecy. The economist can
merely indicate the lines of wise do
