SATURDAY. APRIL IS, 1922.
The Genoa Economic Proposals
and Americas Gold.

Germany's proposal at Genoa for
balanced budgets is sound in prin-
ciple and can bring signal benefits
to the nations of Europe IL it is
worked ont on reasonable, practical
lines. But a debtor country's budget
must be considered externally as well
as internally. No nation can possess
itself of tho means to pay out vast
sums abroad merely by making both
ends meet n. home.
At the saH time and place Rus
sia's proposal Tor reduction of all
Europe's military establishments so
as to permit the balancing of budgets
is equalls sound and exemplary.
In resr ect. however, of Russia's call
for a stabilized purchasing power OF
the American dollar and the British
pound. with arbitrary fixation of ex-
change rntes among the nations OF
the world, her proposal is crude and
visionary. In respect Of the notion
that all that Russia and other bank
rupt countries need to put them
selves on their feet again is to get
hold of the gold supply OF the United
States, her proposal is wild and
futile.
In the first place, the trouble with
the greater part of Europe is not
the kind OF money the governments
over there are spending; the trouble
is that whether they are spending in
gold or are spending in paper they
are grossly overspending their in
comes. A man that pays out more
than be takes in habitually and ter
rifically will go on the rocks as surely
on gold basis as on paper basis.
This is as true of nations as it is Of
men.
In the second place, Europe is not
the god starved continent that the
reckless spendors and bankrupt debt
ors think il is o. say 1t is. AS mat.
ter OF frct, the various central banks
of Europe hold more gold than the
present stock of gold in the United
States, SO frequently described
abroad as sitting selfshly and cold
bloodedly on the bulk OF the worlds
gold supply. Our gold coin and bull
ion, In fact, total only $3.477, 1000
as against S3,674,2 100000 held by the
central banks OF Europe.
The gold reserves Of Europe, in
truth, have not decreased since the
outbreak OF the war; they have in
creased progressively despite heavy
shipments Of the metal to this coun-
try. Change of ownership has
stripped some nations, notably Rus
sia and Austria, almost bare OF the
metal. But others have increased
their reserves either through acquisi-
tions c ON outside or by taking gold
out OF circulation and locking 1t up
in the government banks. AS a re-.
suit the gold reserves are up, COM
pared with 1914, by some six hun
dred millions OF dollars.
The distribution of the European
gold reserves In the central banks
at the beginning Of 1922 compared
with 1914. in the following detailed
exhibit, shows the changes that have
taken place since the beginning OF
