este respecto Ell gobernador Towner y
los senores Barcelo y Guerra.
FL senor Barcel6, Sc nos informa,
que Sc manifesto opuesto a esa desig-
naci6n alegando que ese era un cargo
que debia cnbrirse por los. miembros
todos de Ia Con1isi6n va que era I'm
puesto de Ia confanza de los comisio
nados y que ademas debia recaer en-
un portorriquefio
Cuando los republieanos tuvieron CO.
nocimiento de que existia la intencion
de designar al sefior Van Deusen para
ell cargo de secretario, Ell Comite Te-
rritorial, en- una de sus ultimas reunio-
nes. adopt6 Ell acuerdo de que 81 Sc
hacia ese nombramiento los comisiona-
dos republicanos debian abstenerse de
formar parte de la Conlision.
Esta actitud de los directores repu-
blicanos, de acuerdo con ell criterio de
algunos, ha venido a justifcar Ia ne
gativa del senior Barcel6 sancionar
esa designation va que la misma no
iba ser vista con simpatia por todos
los que fcrman parte de la Comisi6n.
FL senor Van Deusen, de todos mo-
dos, es casi seguro que vaya al Norte
iunta,nente con los comisionados de la
Legislature en- su caracter de Secreta-
rio particular del Gobernador.
Hasta la fecha Sc ha designado la
persona cue. ofcialmente, actuara de

ra que este cargo Quedara cubierto tan

CRITICIZE MAKERS
 OF PAPER MONEY
Germans Blame Chinese for De- Vising Money Similar to Marks

Ieipsic, Dec. 2l,--Chineso tuan- ciers are cursed by German pubicists for having devised paper money and made it possible for the modern world 10 be flooded by the valuelcSs output of oNerworked money presses. John Pa1mstruck. the Swedish bank CT wno is credited with haains Iirst inharduced this Chinese invention in- to Europe. shares the Remuneration poured out upon tho almond eyed tiuanciers
 Tn" statement Of d French finau- cjai expert that paper money is the means of making bankruptcy without explaining it." is freely quoted d. is Gocthe's declaration in Faust that paper money is an invention of thc devil"
 Professor Theodore Sommerbiad contributes an article on money 10 the Leipsig Illustrated Journal calling the pnhlic's attention to inc fact that metal money also shares the tendency Of paper money to decline when it is not backed up by gold. When Babylonia first popularized coins in the western world, before the time of Christ. things went well. according to Professor Sommerblad, till the de- mand for coin became so great that the gold production did not equal the demands of trade and nations began to mix the gold with base metal. Food prices immediately rose. and five cen turies before the Christian era there was q situation similar to that under which Europe is now suffering.
 The Middle Ages inherited currency troubles from the Roman Empire After the erusades trade grew so rap idly that a world gold coin became necessary, and Florence proceeded the form. This was taken as model for the Hungarian and German gold flor ins. But a century later the lack Of gold made it necessary to substitute d silver florin, which ultimately con- quered the world of trade, It still dominates the international money markets as the dollar.
 Queen Elizabeth had many Of the 1 money troubles which have fallen to the lot of George V and his advisers l Drake and all the rest of her hardy navigators who opened up world trade | rounded up much silver in their buc- ! caneering expeditions throughout the New World, Americas tremendous production Of silver caused the price l of the white metal To fall. and there i were violent fluctuations in exchange. |
 Travellers then were prevented from l taking more than one hundred dollars ! north of silver money out Of England, | So the money control which many | countries have imposed or travellers i since the World War merely follows | this and other precedents.
