An important factor contributing to
the present commercial disorganization
OF Europe is to be found In the situation
of the currencies of the various ma
lions. The chaos in the circulating
medium is enough TO make Europe
seem like an economic madhouse. The
first days OF the war saw experiments
In currencies by the greatest countries.
which departed from their experience
and disregarded in many cases all sound
principles. England itself In the first
days OF the war had to resort to fiat
issue by the government. Gold. which
was the general medium of exchange
aside from the Bank OF England notes.
disappeared from circulation overnight.
The Bank OF England had a rigidity
In its circulation that permitted no
elasticity, and the government was
forced to begin the printing of nat
notes before suitable paper could be
found or adequate plates engraved.
Today the amount OF government notes
outstanding in Great Britain amounts
to more than $500, 900, 900. Against this
amounting to 2s.500.000 pounds, or
roughly. s14O.000.000.
Theoretically the notes are redeemable
in gold. Practically the holder of
either these notes or the notes OF the
Bank of England would be SO closely
questioned in regard to the use he in
tended to make of the gold. If he de-
manded their redemption in gold, that
their redemption quality is for the
ted TO export gold from England with
out a government license, and that IL
cense in fact is not granted. A bank
deposit in England is payable only In
Bank of England notes or the govern
ment currency notes. and as these
notes will not be redeemed in gold on
demand. the pound sterling has ceased
to represent gold.
Notes Irredeemable.
In France the sole national issue OF
circulating notes are of the Bank OF
France. The outstanding issue of these
notes OF the Bank of France has gone
up from about six billion francs before
the war to over thirty-four billion, with
the limit of authorization just raised
to thirty-nine billion. The notes are
at present irredeemable and all gold
has disappeared from circulation.
It is we'll to stop a moment and
translate these figures so that our
minds can grasp their significance.
The circulation of the Bank OF France
now amounts roundly to six and half
billion dollars. France has popula-
ton Of about Ss.7O0.O0O. This gives an
average amount OF circulation per
capita Of roundly s166. Our own cir
cuiation is $500. 1885, 900. or S54.64 per
capita. France with its 39,7oO,0O0 OF
people and its area less than that OF
our South Atlantic states. has three
quarters of a billion dollars more In
circulation than we have in the United
States.
While the notes Of the Bank OF
France are the only national circula-
ton and the only legal tender, there
has been issued by many of the towns
of France through the local chambers
of commerce, circulating notes oil
small denomination.
In italy circulation consisted OF notes
of the three great banks os issue. the
Bank OF Italy, the Bank Of Naples and
the Bank of Sicily. Before the war the
italian note circulation was 1,730,100,
