SILVER OUTPUT
LOWER AND USE
MUCH LARGER

A review of the silver situation
during the past year may reveal
more acual international history
tAan even that of the conference at
Waihinstoa. il viii how that MY
three countries. nlteC States. China
and india, have made any EFFORT
to maintain a sound credit position.
That the countries Of Europe con
tinued the policy OF driving out
sound money and substituting addi-
tional products of the printing press.
Ii will also show that Great Britain
achieved the remarkable CD feat OF
placing its new dependencies, man
datories, etc.-secured under the
beneyolence of the Leage of Nations
ON paper money basis.
World silver production was
around 14S,0oo,0Oo ounces, the low
est in 80 years. World consumption
was about 356. 100000 ounces. The
difference between production and
consumption represents the destruc-
ton OF sound money and the use of
paper currency as a substitute.
This process has also resulted in
the depletion of the gold reserves of
many countries, because paper-mon-
ey is still as impractical for interna-
tional usage as il has been, especial
~ during and since the world war.
Coinage for the past seven years
amounts to more than 100, 00O, 900
ounces, and production is about co.,
