growing scarcity Of the supply Of
gold may require. If we further
take into consideration the pos
sibilities of changes in the con-
ditions Of gold mining, we shall find
that the scope for this regulation Of
the monetary demand for gold may
easily be considerably widened. Thus
the task may seem to involve great
difficulties. But If we are not prepared
to abolish at once and forever the use
Of gold as q standard Of value, we
clearly must do something to stabilize
the value of gold, and this is certainly
not possible without q rational regula-
tion of the monetary demand for gold.
In addition, We may perhaps apply
other means, viz, first, suitable re-
strictions Of the industrial demand
for gold; and, second, q policy aiming
at checking the demand for gold from
the Far East by developing Asia's needs
for more useful European products.

of gold holdings as basis for their
paper circulation. Countries which are
In position to draw gold to them
selves from the rest of the world
should abstain from doing 80. Thus,
the stabllization of the value of gold
| Will clearly require, in the coming
years, close cooperation of all coun-
tries. Perhaps it will be possible to
come to some international agreement
in this matter
Stable Value of Gold
The second chief problem of the
wc1ld's gold question is to secure for
' ing future as FIR as possible stable
value Of gold relative to comm odities.
The withdrawal OF gold from circula-
tlon and the disappearance of all def
mite standards Of gold-cover have in
most serious degree impaired the
stability Of the value of gold. If gold
is tc be used hence :orth a IS a monetary
standard, it is, therefore, necessary to
take SPECIAL measures for stabilizing
the vaiu+ OF the metal.
The stabilization Of the value Of gold
involves, however, special difficulties
non OF the meta. If we have a stabil-
lied monetary demand for gold, we
must, OF course, have an annual pro-
auction Of gold corresponding to the
general rate of economic progress of
the world and, in addition, SUFFICIENT
to cover the yearly waste of gold,
assuming the same rate oi progress in
the years before US as occurred dur
ing the period of 185o-191o, we should
heed at present an annual produ ction
OF gold Of about s1oo 100000, increas-
ing IN IN subsequent usse years at the rate of
fci the worlds production in 1919 is
S75, 100000 '''A''
Production Not Sufficient
Ihe production is consequently at
present not sufficient for a normal in.
crease in the worlds stock of cold.
AS the necessary annual production Of
gold would, under the assumed rate
OF progress, in ten years be f132 ,OOo,-
200 and in twenty years sl740O0 900,
the danger of quite insufficient sup
ply of gold is much more imminent
than seems to be generally recognized.
Another factor is working in the
same direction. Gold being the only
commodity which has not risen in
tive gold standard other prices have
been doubled and the general
level, of incomes has been raised
IN the same proportion, it is only
! natural that the demand for gold
as material for articles Of
luxury should have increased sub
stantially. 1t is also known that the
use of gold in the arts is growing rap
idly: This consumption threatens, in
deed, to absorb large part of the
diminished annual Productions, of gold.
Regulating Monetary Demand
1t will therefore probably be neces-
sary not only now to prevent the none
| its old dimensions, but also to regu.
late henceforth this demand with a
view to reducing it gradually as the

Long Term Bonds Good Buys Now

Question-Please give me your opinion
on the following: In the otse OF a man
having about $4,000 in Liberty bonds
purchased at price yielding over per
cent OF the series maturing in May. 1929.
We hear so much advice this time
about buying git-edged long term rail-
road bonds. yielding say per cent, and
taking ADVANCE Of the present low prices
DO , you think that there is any hurry
French government 'ust recently had to
pay per cent. Do YOU think that the
present so-called bargains in gilt-edged
low priced railroad bonds will soon all be
taken up and that 1T would be Wise TO
convert the above mentioned Liberty
bonds into such securities in the near
future. or do you think it would be better
TO hold the. l4ibertys In the expectation
that at OF before their maturity possibly
better bargains in long term bonds will
be availa BILE IT. l. VI.
Answer-We do not attempt to fore
cast the trend Of the bond market. 1t
appears to US. however, that the money

situation will be better before it grows
much worse. The tendency already
points that way. There is no better
investment than Liberty and Victory
bonds, yet it seems to US that, a. your
issue natures in a short time, it would
be far-sighted to take steps 70 make
your investment more permanent. The
bond market is higher than it was two
or three months ago, to be sure, yet it
is many points below where it was in
1917 and 1918. While we do not look
for an early return to pre-war condi-
tions, we believe that high grade bonds
which yield from 6 per cent to 61s pei
cent and running for several years, are
good purchases at present.

Thinks Pound Will Be at Par Soon
Question-will you be SO kind an to give
me your opinion Of buying sterling at the
present low rate of exchange, to be held
until 1t reaches its normal rate, which can
hardly be more than two years?-F. w.
Answer-We have no more idea of
what the course of sterling exchange
will be than we have of the state Of the
weather for the next two years. Until
England's balance of trade with the
United States is more favorable to her
sterling will reflect this condition by
being depressed. II you believe that
England will accomplish this, then
sterling exchange may be good specu-
latlon. 1t appears to us, however, that
British internal bonds, which are of
fered at low prices in conformity with
sterling exchange. If the rate for ster-
ling is higher it should be reflected in
the price Of the bonds.

ouestion-w!n you kindly advise m.

same II safe for investment.--A. J.
Answer-Swedish per cent BONDS
are due in 1889 They are an externa,
loan, payable, both principal and in.
terest, in American dollars in New
York. The government Of Sweden has
| always enjoyed good credit and ap
pears to be somewhat freer from Boil

We regard the bonds as very fair in.
