accepted as thoroughly trustwortny.
Lenin, who has no use for gold IN his

Gold Flows Int United states.
Early in 1920 Lenin secured the

this gold deposited in Stockholm
banks would not be confiscated, and
hence Stockholm became the door
through which the gold flowed in
! patches of several tons to middlemen
in various countries, who made. a
ping 1t to the United States. Curious
ly, France, despite the prohibition
against the import of Russian money,
has been one of the chief avenues, for
its distribution. 1t Is explained that
the government. seeing that 1t was
impossible to prevent the dispersion
Of the Russian treasury gold. wished
to secure for Frenchmen a share of
the profits from this transaction. and
hence. under a special license per-
niitted the importation of gold for re-
export within three months.
It is probable that practically all

the other European countries are
tenaciously clinging to their gold to

Lenin is deliberately offering his gold

My information is that the Ameri-

were: From England. $174,000.000;
from Sweden. Sss.000,000, and from
