Gold From Russia.
Opinion among bankers as to the
origin of the bulk of the gold that
has come recently or is still coming
to this country seems to be centering
upon Russia. A prominent banker
who has been brought into close Of
fetal connection with financial af-
fairs in Europe lately expressed him
self as pretty sure that if the metal
could be traced back. as 1t cannot.
the trail would lead to Moscow, said
the Wall Street Journal.
And why not?" he said. IF it has
got to come out. it had far better
come out for purposes of trade than
propaganda. to which it has hitherto
been devoted
Those who hold the bolshevik gold
theory say that since trade has long
been carried on with the soviet re-
public by certain of the nations bor-
dering the Baltic these nations have
secured payment for their goods in
Russian gold. Today when a mer-
chant of any nationality is free to
conduct business with Russia at his
own risk there is every inducement
for him to find means of getting So
Wet gold and of finding means, open
or secret. for having it minted. Once
it is minted, there is little or no risk
attached in sending it to the United
States, since if it bears the stamp Of
a friendly country. it is acceptable
here.
AS has already been mentioned. the
state bank holdings in Europe show
no decline in gold reserves. Figures
