GOLD TO ENGLAND.

The rapid approach of the British pound sterling toward

competing with the United States for the worlds gold.
1t does not possible that British money should
become actually worth than American when
considers the huge amount of British obligations
and and the industrial depression still exist
England. Yet there American nanciers who say
they would not be surprised gold actually started moving
from America to England next year.
There would be great harm in that the fnancers
admit. There might be much good. The United States
with about $4,000 600 in its treasury vaults has half the
gold in the world That is twice much this country
needs currency The resulting deprvion felt
by other countries hurts their currency and makes hard
them to transact their business and still harder for
them to buy from If England gains of gold
England will become better customer and the gold
ualy will flow back in form another plus liberal

Greece and Bulgaria Ar

LAUSANNE, Nov. 24.--Eliptherlos
Venizelos, former premier OF
Greece, and NJ. Stamboulisky. the
Bulgarian prime minister. faced
each other at today's session OF the
near eastern conference when an ef-
fort was made TO reach an agree
ment on Bulgaria's claim to an out
let to the Aegean sea. Both men
showed great emotion.
Stamboulisky was holding out for
the actual possession by Bulgaria Of
the port of Dedeagatch, epntended
that in no other way could Bulgaria
be guaranteed free commerce. Ven-
izelos opposed this proposal In an
impassioned speech, holding out for
n free port at Dedeagatch under the
control of a mixed commission.
"The temper OF the speech OF NJ,
Venizeios alone indicates what DIFF
