WEALTH AND GOLD.

In another column Allan Stirling
takes issue with a Journal editorial
which said that Europe shot away
the wealth of centuries" in the re-
cent war Mr.. Stirling very promptly
asserts that it would be impossible
for Europe to shoot away the wealth
Of centuries and proceeds to say that
because the worlds actual gold sup
ply is such and such an amount and
is not diminished but merely trans
ferred. that there is no change in the
wealth" of the world.
Mr.. Stirling should know better.
But perhaps he has not had time to
learn. Wealth is not the amount OF
gold available. neither is it the amount
Of dollars and marks and francs which
are Issued with the gold as rule"
to measure by. But wealth is all those
mills and factories, railroads and cam
mails, churches and cathedrals, Libraries
and museums, which have been built
through the centuries.
All labor is designed to produce
wealth; that is to say, satisfaction or
enjoyment To some men wealth may
mean pictures. for some men are made
hdPPS ny DtdutlluI paintings. TO
some men wealth means travel: to
others. fine buildings and beautiful
grounds All the manifold things
which men enjoy and desire are wealth
and the possession of them is riches.
Mr.. Stirling speaks a if the rail-
roads and factories of Europe were
unframed by the war. He does not
mention the ravage of Belgium or of
France. The thought of museums.
galleries, cathedrals apparently is not
in his mind when he speaks of gold.
But who will not say that the wealth
OF centuries was shot away when the,
wonderful cathedral of Rheims was de-
stroyed, or the archieves at Loos, or
the library at Amiens.
And If We speak of railroads, canals
and bridges, factories, mills and ware
houses. let US also remember that the
loss to France and Belgium was mill
ions on millions and that the peopla
OF those countries, as well as the GER
mans, will be saddled for a hundred
years with the burden of replacing
the wealth which was shot away.
Yes, the wealth of centuries was
shot away in few years.

PUBLIC FINANCES THREATEN
EURoPE'S ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Europe'S economic recovery is seri-
ously endangered by the present rate
at which capital needed for private
enterprise is being used for national
expenses, DIR. Henry A. e. Chandler.

Commerce in New York, declares IN

the banks magazine. The inability
Of foreign countries to balance their
national budgets, he points out, is
largely responsible for the instability
Of their currencies and of international
trade, and is also a fundamental
cause of the current business depres-
sion in the United States.
The magnitude of the national
budgets that most Of the former Euro
pean belligerents must face for wears

Ter. If, in raising these public funds.
too large proportion is diverted to
unproductive consumption, private in
oustry needing capital for rehabiu-
tation or for normal expansion cannot
operate to its highest efficiency.
Since the national productive capaci-
~ IS but an aggregate Of the pro-

depends upon keeping the gold sup
ply mere or less evenly distributed
throughout the world; for when this
slpr becomes corterel, it causes
staslc ton, famine and industrial
death.
The position of Europe at the pres
ent time is this: They still retain
their wealth, which is really their
factories, transportation systems, for
mulas, buildings and people, but the
bulk of the worlds gold supply is
held in our country: they cannot af-
ford to purchase products Of our Ia
bour and capital, because with the loss
of the golden ruler, their exchange
has deprecated to an extent through
lack of confidence here to make our
prices prohibitive to them; hence the
state of depression in this country.
Our over developed factories which
were almost inadequate during the
war, and could be kept at full blast
supplying Europe with the things
they need now, must be closed, be-
cause they are more than sufficient
to Supply our normal peacetime needs;
and Europe cannot afford to buy.
This condition must eventually re-
adjust itself, because our purchases
of foreign securities Con account of
the bargain prices) and our purchases
of commodities abroad, on account Of
the abnormal purchasing power of our
dollar, will gradually distribute the
supply of gold again, and bring the
world back to it's old time economic
condition, and lastly, the writer of the
above mentioned article should re-
member, that the permanent prospect
ty of our own nation Is dependent up
on the prosperity of the world as
whole.

lie services and In important cases
the staggering amounts still appro-
priated for the upkeep of the
armies and navies After making due
allowance for governmental capital
expenditure or for the partial return
Of capital to the people, it Is clear
that heavy burden of government
al consumption rests upon the indus
try and business of the nation.
In most of the former belligerant
countries, the continued initiation has
resulted principally from the failure
or inability to balance the national
budgets. The effect of this continued
initiation is to render the value of the
currencies unstable and to present in
an exaggerated degree all of the evils
tivity. that always attend unstable
monetary conditions. The same UNI
usual demands upon the public reve-
nues that have caused the currency
mutations have been responsible for an
important part of the depreciation of
the exchanges and the violent fluctua-
lions that still occur
Cutting statistics, as reported for
the National Financial Conference of
September, 1920, DR.. Chandler shows
that the governmental expenditures
of the leading European nations have
increased from 500 to 1900 per cent.
and are consuming from 20 to 40 per
cent. of the entire national income.
According to pre-war averages be-
tween 10 and 16 per cent. of the nat
ional income represented capital saw
ings, he estimates. He continues:
ut is almost impossible to appre-
ciate what it means to have the gov
eminent absorb an amount equiya-
lent to from 20 to 40 per cent. of the
entire income of the nation. In other
words the national expenditures alone
have absorbed an amount roughly
equivalent to from 1-2 to times the
total annual capital savings. When
a country attains a national budget,
that equals from two to three times
its annual capital savings and special
forms OF revenue are designed to reach
an important part of the earnings of
those individuals and corporations
that accumulate savings annually, that
country faces a situation that re-
quires active and serious considera-
ton.
Even while a large burden is borne
by consumption. it is possible. unless
the utmost vigilance is exercised, for
the government to absorb such a
large part Of the current capital saw
ings, if not indeed to eat into past
accommodations. that the economic re-
covery of the nation will be danger
ously threatened. 1t is clear that I'M
til the budgets of these European
countries can be balanced, domestic
markets, the foreign exchanges and
international trade must remain un-
stable"

WEALTH AND GOLD.

To the Editor:
/ was interested in reading an edl-
torial in Sundays Journal under the
heading Paying a World for War to
notice the rather hazy way in which
the writer dealt with the subject: for
instance, he states that centuries of
savings Were shot away by Europe,
who forfeited a dominant position in
the economy of the world; and he
leaves us with the impression that
from now on the United States IS the
only country in the world which viii
enjoy anything like prosperity.
Now in reality, nothing could be
more impossible taan any ration OF
group of nations to SHOOT away the
accumulated wealth of centuries; for
the entire supply of gold FIR the world
only amounts to eight billions Of dol
lars. This includes al the gold
coined or in bars III she various banks
or government treasures in the world.
This quantity of gold could be easily
contained in a sixty foot cuba, and if
we depended upon it 70 do our pur-
chasing. it would be exhausted IN a
single day, and yet with this as \ ba-
sis, we spend millions and billions OF
dcllars every day, and the supply IS
not altered; the gold IS Simply a mess

PRESS COMMENT
Why Not Tell Us Howl


1t would be extremely illuminating.
not to say helpful. if those northern
papers that discuss the possibilities of
there being two fairly well balanced
parties in the south, would tell us how
to get rid Of the ever-present negro
question. They never tell us; they try
TO ignore a condition that cannot, with
our present knowledge, be argued
away
Here is the Indianapolis News in a
long editorial arguing for southern
republican party and telling the read
ers how beneficial it would be if the
south could break away from its anci-
ent "clannishness." That paper Incl
dentally refers to the race problem,
which it comedies complexities matters
seriously. and let's it go at that.
1t is almost impossible to induce
northern papers md northern people
to understand the race problem that
the south constantly faces. They af-
feet to believe. and many probably do
believe, that the Negro is deprived of
his political rights in the south by out
rage, chicanery and trickery. News
papers that ought to be better in
formed, constantly tell their readers
that the colored man is not permitted
to vote in the south, that he is sys-
tematicaHy being imposed upon. All
that for political purposes, but it has
it's effect on the thought of the people
of the north.
But let those same people come
south, as they are doing every year in
constantly increasing numbers, and
their eyes are speedily opened to the
real conditions and no man Is more
the advocate of white mans rule than
the one who has recently come from
the north and is thrown into touch
with the political conditions of the
south.
The fact that escapes them until
they do come south is that in many
counties in the south the Negro is In
the majority. It is an uneducated and
unenlightened majority, concededly not
ready for self government. The ques-
tion facing the white man in these
communities is, shall the uneducated
and the unenlightened govern? The
answer invariably is, from the south
ern and the northern man. alike, that
only the wiser portion of the COM
munity should be permitted to govern.
And that authority in the south is
exerted merely through the white
mans primary to which the colored
man cannot, as a matter of course. be-
long. This unites the white man into
one party, called in the south the
democratic party.
Until some legal and workable meth
cd of securing control to the white
man, until at least the Negro becomes
intelligent enough to do his part in
government, is devised. there will
never be two parties in the south or
anywhere neatly equal strength, for
the Negro, as he is at present, is a
purchasable quantity and dangerous
element when introduced into politics
