TO RE-D|STRiBUTE
THE SURPLUS GOLD
SUCH STEP TO THE INTEREST OF
UNITED STATES, ACCORDING
TO STATEMENT.
DISCUSS EXCHANGE SITUATION
Should Be Utilized Through Invest
ment In Foreign Channels, Says
Recommendation

Washington. The United States
feels 1t to be to its own interest that
the surplus stocks of gold in the eoun'
try should be redistributed and utilized
through investment in foreign chan
nels, according to statement on the
effect OF exchanges on inter-American
commerce made public by the United
States section of the inter-American
high commission.
The statement expressed the views
of the American section, of which
Secretary Hoover is chairman, on the
international exchange situation for
the information of the Latin-American
sections of the commission, the inter
change OF views having been arranged
after meeting Of all the national sec
tions in their various apitals last
month.
In its statement the American sec
ton discussed the exchange situation
from the European standpoint as well
as from the inter-American and United
States angle.
In this country, the statement de
clared, the situation was unfortunate
because the high premium on Ameri
can exchange has attracted the gold
flow OF the world, resulting In over
stocking beyond currency needs and
a surplus earning no interest and serV
in gno useful purpose.
THE United States the statement
said feels it to be to its own interest
that this gold should be utilized in
foreign channels, and also that 1t be
redistributed. From an economic
point of view, the method Of utiliza
ton if by the Investment OF capital
abroad, the method of redistribution
should be through loans for repro
ductive enterprise and by specitie
gold loans to ountries which are in
position to undertake the re-organi'
cation of their currencies on gold
basis. The United States section re-
gard it as mutually desirable and
profitable that capital investments
should be made in the other Ameri'
can republics where national credit
rests squarely on stability in the SO.
cial order.

section asserted. would improve as the

DEFENDS THE RESERVE BOARD
SENATOR GLASS SUGGESTS THEY
QUIT TALKING NONSENSE,
BANKING SITUATION.
Farmers Should Be Told to Organize,
Not to Become the Playthlng OF
Fanatics, Says Senators.

Washington, Denouncing those
who would destroy the great reserve
banking system for the sake OF poll
ties Senator Glass, democrat, OF Nir
ginia, declared in the senate that
much more good would be accomplish
ed for the country IF some senators
and others would talk sense to the
bankers instead of nonsense to the
farmers.
why not tell the farmers the truth
once?' Queried the speaker, why in
sist on drawing the picture of detiation
and credits as the monster which
brought reduced prices, not alone on
the farmers products, but on all com
modities? Why not show that lot OF
banks did not take advantage OF the
reserve system and thereby impaired
and limited their own ability to aid?
Mr. Glass declared that, instead ai
the nonsense spread among the farm
ers about how they had been victirl
lied the farmers should be told t.
organize not to become the play
things of fanatics, but for intelligent
research for cooperative marketing
and to investigate and meet the infiu
ences which may affect the prices Of
their products, Mr., Glass declared
that no single thing was the decidinl
factor in the break in prices. He saiC
that, during the war, people through
out the world learned to do without
luxuries and asserted that there FOL
lowed as natural result by the pro
cess Of psychology a general move

The end of it all, he said, was a sor
