ROUBLES' RISE IS
 RUSS RENAISSANCE
Cheap Gold Passing in Rus sia As Money Approaches Normal Value.
(By International News servfce.)

(By International News Service.)
 Moscow, Oct. 12-'EThe rise in the
 ruble is the symboI of Russia's fnan- cial and industrial renaissance" Mich ael Iyevlef, head of the Money Values Section of the Peoples Commissariat, said. in an interview.
 While the paper rub1e is not fall ins. the gold ruble Is rising to nearly its normal value," he declared. Gold has been very cheap in Russia in comparison with Europe. This is
 due to the blockade and the conse- quent separation from the European
 mark ct and our general lack of com mercial connections. But now, with
 the extension off economic relations,
 gold assumes its true value. That gold is rising rather than
 paper falling is shown in general prices in Russia. Food prices in pa
 per rubles are the same or lower; | wholesale prices of butter and sugar
 show a five to fifteen per cent. in crease, while during the last month
 the gold ruble has nearly doubled in value.

 Prior to 1922 we had circulated five billions of paper money, including 1922 rub1es, one of which is equiva- lent to ten thousand old rub1es. We have now in circulation nearly seventy billions, besides two and half bill lions of Government notes issued this year.
 After October 1 no one will be obliged to accept old rubles, but un- til January 1, 1923, the Government will exchange one new ruble for ten thousand old rub1es, on the basis upon which both have been freely circulating during the past year. ''Wes will exchange also Romanon and kerensky notes, which, measur- ed in new rubles, amount only to ten and a half millions.
 ''The total to be exchanged, inc1ud- ing Government notes. makes one tenth of the entire circulation. We recognize that the falling Tuble oper- ates as a heavy tax on the public, and we shall endeavor by a strict budget, to stabilize its value by developing
 our tax system and by stopping paper
 issues on the present basis.
 "At the beginning of next year
 ba banknetes, with a twenty-five per
 cent. gold reserve. will replace 1922
 rubles We shall make no effort to
 circulate gold, but shall continue to
 supervise gold imports and exports.
 Smugsling is widespread and creates
 a strong demand for gold.'
