While this is necessarily a very
rough estimate in some details il is
near enough to show the chief fac
tor causing a reduced value of for
eign money in terms of our money.
The imports OF gold have continued
large all through 1921 and no doubt
helped the situation to some degre
but this cannot be expected to ad-
just the large balance since this
would require more gold than !.
now in the hands OF all the Euro
pean governments combined
An estimate about April last
spring placed the gold reserves in
all the central banks and govern
ment agencies at s6.S3s. OOO. 600. Of
which S2.52s. .57l 900 or 81 per cent
was in the United States.
The imports of gold were very
small from the armistice TO March.
1920, From November, 1918, to
April. 1921. the net gain was only
about $4,000, 900 because the cx-
ports had been so heavy in 1919.
As our trade balance began to grow
in 1920. however. imports began. as
foreign nations tried TO correct the
difference in balance.
The imports of gold in NAV yield
ed net balance of sSs.OOo. coo: /:
June. s5l.sOO.OoO and July. $4,000. =
600. Altogether this is gain OF
about s2o7.OO0.O00 in our balance
since November. 1918. This should
not be confused with the net gain
OF s5l3.00O,O0O in gold for the last
fiscal year mentioned above. A
large part of which merely offset
previous losses by excessive ex-
pcrts.
Gold movement as a corrective OF
exchange differences is therefore
inadequate to balance the situation.
The checking of the short-time
huctuation is another matter. prob
ably within the possibility of con-
troll by international bankers with
the assistance OF government
Treasury officials Perhaps some
! method of fixing exchange rates
for given periods, with detnite re-
lation to certain other trade fac
! tors might be worked out. This
problem is largely one growing ou,
OF the war and cannot be met by
any immediate adjustment OF
trade. A new par for foreign cur.
rencies has been established in ef-
feet. but not yet recognized by the
market.
The extent OF these short-tjms
changes is indicated by the follow.
| ing cases: Sterling dropped =,
per cent In two days. French francs
fell 1O.4 per cent in three days
Italian lire dropped nearly 90 per
cent in one week and German
| marks fell so per cent during one
month, only 20 gain SIS per cent in
two days.
These fluctuations were due 70
the rapidly varying need by traders
TO settle accounts for exports n,
imports combined with a certain
amount of speculative buying by
! others.
1t has been argued that since ,be
price of gold is practically deter
mined by the value of the Ameri-
car dollar. the value OF all other
currencies must be measured in
dollars. The value of the dollar
makes no such rapid changes as
the market has shown for foreign
exchanges during the last year or
SO. A speculative element is oper.
ating here which represents nc
fundamental change in trade and
serves no useful purpose so far as

The decline, which began in 1919,
went on with many fluctuations un-
Til the last part of 1920, when the
bottom was reached. Sterling was
lowest in February, 1920, but re-
covered only to drop again in No
vcmber almost as low. French and
Italian exchange showed the same
fuctuation but reached their low
est in December, 1920.
This year there was a steady
gain until the middle Of the year

The conditions that have brought
about this wide difference in money
is not the war debt alone, but
largely the trade balance. The

tice at $4,000. 900. 900. The balance

There was reminder for the head

that they met two weeks ago and were
married the day afterward. and that
within that time he had developed
habits of hitting her in the head, drag
ging her about by her hair and calling
her incredible names.

Magistrate Sweetser. "and 1t was a
case of love at first sight The next
day we were married and rented a flat

But now our dreams are all shattered "
With special reference to the morning
of June 2S, Mrs. Mlllick told how rapidly

that he had been aggressor

Millick told interviewers after the
court hearing that he was an inventor
