ATLANTA. May 2S.-An optimistic
view of business conditions through

| address of Eugene Meyer, jr.. man.
aging director Of the War Finance
Corporation, before the annual con-
vention of the Georgia Bankers AS
sociation here today. in which grad

predicted.
Mr.. Meyer. WHO is making a tour of
the south to learn of present condi-
tions and future prospects, reviewed
the general situation in the address
and declared the purchasing power of
the farmer, Stockman and cotton
grower will not be fully restored this

The country. Mr.. Meyer asserted. is

sounder basis than ever before. Busi-

he maintained. and a gradual steady

Il do not believe" he said in
sentimental optimism. or an optimism
not rooted in realities. but l feel that
the business situation all over the
United States is on a better basis than
ii has been since 1914. and that the
outlook is one Of gradual but steady
improvement.
"A year ago liberty bonds were on
per cent basis. They now sell on
a AZ per cent basis. That is one
measure of the changed conditions

Business is going ahead on a
larger scale in many directions that
have been neglected during .he past
few years." MIR. Meyer continued.
Extensive building operations are
actively under way in many parts of
the country. Railroad construction,
which has been almost entirely sus-
pended since 1915. Is being resumb 3D.
And all the great basic industries
that are involved in the building
business are going ahead with a fair
degree of activity.
THE banks generally are in better
shape and the bankers, l hope, have
ceased to worry unduly. People are
encouraged and hopeful all over the
country as they have not been for a
long time. The purchasing power of
the farmer, stockman and cotton
grower will not be fully restored this
year, and they cannot be expected to
go into that active and optimistic
kind of buying which generally ac-
companies fair business and prosper

serious condition of Indebtedness, re-
sulting from losses on the production

they will make more money this year

he got it from the premiers of Poland

Lord Robert Cecils criticisms were
mostly concerned with the United States

cial transactions, and can we'll afford
now to adjust the inequalities involved
in the government price for gold by
the payment of a bounty o. twenty
five cents per pennywcight for newly
produced gold in the United States
and its possessions provided for in tie
bill which have introduced. The
period Of the payment is limited 70
three years and the manner in which
it is to be made will not affect the
monetary status of gold nor alter the
manner in which the gold producer
now receives $20.67 per ounce.
"A committee of the treasury de-
partment early in 1919 reported that
production costs were to decline with
a general decline in commodity prices
and wages, and therefore, there was
no need for providing special aid for
the gold mining industry. But this
favorable condition did not materialize,
costs having increased ard the produc-
ton Of gold having greatly declined"

period of three years ito the BRO
.ducers of newly mined gold within the
continental United States and its non.
contiguous territory, bounty Of
twenty-five cents per pennywcight Of
fine gold produced and also sets out
the manner in which these bounties
shall be paid as follows:
"That upon delivery Of such gold
and sworn statements. as hercinbcfore
set forth. to the United States mint or
its authorized agencies, a certificate
shall be issued by authority of the d.
rector of the mint to the producer, or
his order, certifying that the holder
thereof is entitled to receive from the
treasurer of the United States the sum
specified therein in payment of the
bounty provided by this act" And as
prccaution against fraud. tho bill
imposes penalties of not more than
five years Imprisonment or not more
than $1,000 fine, or both, for violation
Of its provisions.
1.-The government is wisely making
heavy expenditures to conserve the
natural resources of the nation" said
Senator Oddic in discussing the bill,
aand it is inconsistent that it should
continue to neglect the gold mining
industry in which the most colossal
|,wastagc that has ever been permitted
to exist is now taking place In 1921,
gold was produced in twenty states
the territory of Alaska and the Phil
lippines and, therefore, thc:gold mining
industry must be considered as ma
tional conservation problem. Having
created the condition and as a matter
Of equity and public policy, the gov
eminent should no longer deny the
gold mining industry necessary adj
justment to compensate for present in
creased costs Of producing gold.
1.-The government having selected
gold as the unit of the monetary sys-
tenn, fixed its price at $500. per ounce.
Gold is the only product whose price
is fixed by the government. Confront
cd BY this arbitrarily fixed price for its
product and costs OF production. which
have greatly increased since 1915, a
majority Of the producers Of gold have
been forced to shut down their mines,
resulting in a decline in the produc-
ton of gold from SlOl 100000 in 1915,
to sso,o0OO 600 in 1921. or fifty per cent.
