ADHss#HSSr BUSINESS AND FINANCE OFF
By GEORGE w. HINMAN.

CHICAGO. Jan. 17.-Next to the
s11. 100000 debt they owe us, the for
eign nations worry most about the
vast gold reserve of the United States.
Two dispatches Of the week-one from
London and one from Paris-predicl
dire business troubles for this country
Unless In some way IL transfers some
OF the gold to other lands. Every
little while an American financier will
make similar predictions.
Just why this gold is dangerous -
American business nobody says. There
's lot OF vague talk, but little reason
We have today about $500. 000, 900
Cf the worlds gold in the Unitod
States. That Is a little more than n
third of the worlds total stock. 1t 10
perhaps 1000. 000,0 900 to 1880. 600. 900
more than we need to keep the ma.
tons present finance sound and
strong. But what harm can II do us7
One answer ALREADY discussed In
this columns that 1t tempts us to
initiate credit and prices. Wen, the
temptation has been here for the
last two years, and we surely have
shown that we know how to resist
II. Business has been Debated. cur.
rency has been Debated, credit has
been Debated, pretty nearly every
thing has been Debated until the United
States il the most thoroughly de-
flated going concern In the world.
Deflation Greatest Here.
No other great country in the
world has Debated to the same ex-
tent as the United States. And the
gold has been here all the time.
Those facts seem to cover the infla-
ton argument against our having
the gold.
z Another argument that is floated
overseas Just now. is that we have
drained Europe Of her gold; that I'M
less We send the gold back to her
she can restore neither her curren-
cies nor her business. and that there
for. by keeping the gold, we are
destroying Europe's ability to do
business with us, decimating our
European commerce, and prolonging
The hardships Of American farmers
and manufacturers who produce for
export. That sounds reasonable, es-
pecially after one has heard II and
read II six days a week. 1t sounds
reasonable, but It seems not to be
true. What are the facts7
From Europe alone the United
States received more than half a bill
lion in gold last year. Yet the Bank
of England. which had s625,000, 900
gold reserve a year ago, has the
same today. and even a little more.
In the past year the Bank of France
increased its gold reserve from $780,
100000 to 500. 00o.0 900. Sweden, Ger
many and the Netherlands showed
small losses of gold. They were
none Of them large enough to have
any special significance.
Not Stripped Of Gold.
So Europe has not been stripped
of her gold. II Europe Ia notably
worse off in money and exchange
than q year ago-and she is-it In
not because she has 90 much less
gold in hand. 1t IL not because her
Golfers have been drained by the
United Slater. It In for entirely diff
ferenf rea s0na which hav IN do With

Reasons For Increase.
One Of the reasons for the Increase
may be seen at a glance by COMPARE
son of Liberty Bond prices now and
those Of the early months Of 1920.
At that time, when the various issues
reached the lows of from $S5 to $88,
they We're obviously good invest
ments. Another factor was the grow
ing uneasiness concerning certain
foreign bonds which had been pop
ulaf Immediately after the war. An
other reason for an appreciable per-
centage of the holdings. according to
one local banker is the fact that the
banks which bought large amounts of
the bonds at par during loan drives.
averaged their holdings when prices
OF the bonds dropped 80 decidedly.
At the previous call Of the Comp
troller, Washington banks held Gov
eminent securities amounting to
$20,525,000, and 1t is estimated that
the call Of December 81 will show a
substantial increase.

game was much too full of scoring
and ragged fielding to be of interest
but the aggressiveness and stick work
of locals pleased the fans from the
start when Z runs crossed the plate in
the first. Class a youngster and for
