America, where they are reoee'lapie only in limited numbers.
 For an expert in foreign ex- change" MT. Newf1eld told news paperman, there IS not the slightest mystery about the operation or MT. Ponzi. As it may interest your read CTS permit me to give them an il lustration. Tn certain countries. such as France, postage stamps are legal tender, Based on this fact. the opera ton is as follows:
 Take s100 in New York and cable it to a Bukarest bank. In accord ance with the exchange rate between the dollar and the ley that would give the sending of s100 a credit il the Bukarest bank of 5000 leys. Now the bank in Bukarest, or an agent of the sender, would take the ;e 5000 leys and purchase with them irterna tioral reply coupons at the rate of about four coupons to the ley and would receive. say, 10000 coupons. '"The Bukarest bank or the agent | would send these 10000 coupons to a bank or agent in Paris who would then present the coupons to Paris l post oihse- He would receive in ex- chanse 1o,ooo restage stamps at the l value of 25 centimer. each or alto | gether 5000 francs in stasrps Rrt as the stamps in France are legal ten- l der. he may go with these 5000 francs in stamps to a French bank an buy mhacd etwhit SHRDLUCM | and buy with them a cable transfer in dollars on New York for the equiva- | lent at an exchange rate of 12 francs 1 to the dollar, which amounts, to say, | $400 or whereabouts.
 1 'The exchange rates change natur- 1 ally from day to day, but the above may be taken as a fair illustration. Deducting anything between and 25 l per cent. for the handling of this ! transaction to be paid the foreign bankers and agents. and so forth, the 1 New York sender would receive $40O for the original $10O, and behold how s1oo within a fortnight can be turned into $40o cash in New York!
 'The illustration is, of course ap- ! proximate. In any case the operation 1 would have to be limited to countrie. which are members of the posta union, and therefore New York cur rency would have to be exchanged 1T that member country of the posta
 union where the exchange is most ia
 vorable to New York and the coupon' | WOulO nave CO Uo CdSuSu HI SOoaISA AC'
 where stamps are legal tender.
 But this will illustrate how MT
 Ponzi had no difficulty in disposing O.
 his coupons in America-because h.
 never sold them herel This will like
 wise explain why his operations arr
 absolutely legal.
 "As long as the postal union will re
 tain its basic principle of issuing :
 stamp for foreign correspondence
 against an international coupon ant
 as long as such stamps are currenc.
 in some countries and as long as thu l exchange rate between the dollar ant
 some member country of the posta
 union is at such immense advantags
 to the dollar as it is today, not one bu l 5000 Ponzis can make money.

 New York, July 3o.-New York bankers, brokers and merchants who are we'll informed about foreign ex- change matters are not at all mysti- fled by Charles Ponzi's "discovery" of a royal road to wealth. Ponzi. they say, doubtless has blazed the trail in spectacular fashion
 The key to the situation, according to E. H. Newfield of the importing and exporting firm of F.. Luca Ma noussa, Inc, is the simpl fact that in some countries, France, for instance, postage stamps are legal tender. Mr. Newield in an interview illustrated the simplicity of the process and how it is that PonA avoids disposing of his international reply coupons in
