TOO MUCH GOLD IN
U.S., SAYSGEDDES
Britain's New Ambassador Ito
Washington Blames Unequal
Distribution for n. c. L.

| LONDON. March ST. md most ex-
traordinary and diverse Views ON the
question OF the rise in the cost OF
food and everything else we require
! can assure you that the main cause
OF the rise in the cost OF living Is not
pronteering--it is a contributory
cause in some directions, but in far
fewer than you would think.
In America the cost OF living Is up
| almost as much as IL is In Great Brit
ain. and America has less paper
money than Great Britain. The cost
OF living Is up in the United states
because America has got a very large
proportion OF the gold OF the world.
| The United States used to have
about $500 100000 In gold. but il now
has about s2.l5O. 900, 900 in gold. There
10 so much gold In America that there
| Is no use for IL, and the value OF gold
there has fallen to about half or It's
value, expressed in commodities be-
fore the war. while the value OF Eng
Iish pound notes is about half the
value OF the bit OF gold which IL was
supposed TO be as good as before the
war.
There is concentration OF gold ip
the United States far in excess Of
what is required. or can be satisfac-
torily used. and that Is a matter that
is completely outside the possibility
OF immediate alteration.
Great Britain cannot get IT'S share
| Of the gold back until II sends Amer
lea goods for which America will have
| TO pay in gold.
have been asked. "Why does not
| the British govern nent reduce the
cost OF living in Britain. My answer
| is that no human being, no force OF
| law, can reduce the cost of living in
Europe until we get gold flowing back
from America to Great Britain and
| the continent.
The big problem which the British
government has been tackling from
day to day has been to get such
movement of manufactured goods
from Great Britain in it's export trade
/ to America as will attract gold back
TO England. The only way the people
OF Great Britain can bring down their
cost of living is to reduce their de-
mands. especially for expensive sorts
| OF goods, and let them go overseas,
and accumulate credit in America.
