Answer-These bonds, obligations of

practically all traction securities. The
situation appears to be somewhat bet

granted which have made it possible to
overcome in some measure high oper-
ating costs. We see nothing in the
situation at present which would war

The first is impossible, as Europe has not
enough gold for her own requirements
The second is sure to be a very slow process,
because OF the lack Of raw materials.
lhe third IS about to take place, but is
against our own and Europe's best interests.
The fourth is a banking proposition, but
under present conditions extremely difficult.
The fifth is the most practicable and the
easiest way to improve foreign exchange
rates.
