Mexico Move Important.

The effort to create an entente cor
dale not only with Mexico but with
Central America and some OF the
South American republics is well
worth making on behalf Of American
business at a time when European
countries are placing themselves IN
a position to compete in those mar
kets with American goods. SO far as
Mexico is concerned it is equally I'M
portant that relations be created that
will permit the free production or her
resources, such as oil, copper and Sill
yer, in which American capital mas
very large stake. Another and posi-
bly, the most important of all develop
ments growing out of more intimate
political relations south Of the Rio
Grande would be in the way of open.
ing up the vast territory to public
utility development and duplicating
there some of the success that has
already been achieved in Central and
South America.
The hesitancy in General Motors
stock, after its months of leadership
and prior speculative position over
United States Steel common, is an
indication that Wall Street anticipates
a year of severe competition with the
Ford Motor Co. and smaller earnings
per share than during either 1926
or 1927. 1t apparently holds a diff
ferent view regarding a number of
the smaller automobile manufacturers
who are not placed in such a direct
line of attack as is General Motors
and whose stocks have been among
those in public demand at the high
est prices Of the year. There is in
this an element of speculation based

Money Question Paramount.


Altogether the market this week
has again moved against the facts of
business, which are not satisfactory,
but in harmony with the investment
situation, whose foundations are
strong and continue to be supported
by easy money. 1t is important, there
fore, TO consider whether money is to
remain abundant and cheap in the flu
ture.
This question is intimately related
to the present large flow of gold out
of the country.
In the past week Holland and
Sweden nave joined the list of nations
buying our gold, and most important
Of ALL an additional $7,500,000 has been
sent TO London. We are on the eve
of the adoption of policies that may
determine the discount rates of the
Federal Reserve Banks as we'll as of
the Bank Of England and the Bank
Of Germany fo~ the next six months
Associated with this is the proposed
sterilization of the currencies of Italy
and France in the early part of 1928.
Bankers Meeting Recalled.
It will be remembered that early
in July the heads Of all of the large
central banks Of Europe met here
with the governor of the Federal Re-
serve Bank CT New York. A month
later the Federal reserve rediscount
rate was reduced from 4 per cent to
315 per cent. Subsequently the Bank
Of Germany discount advanced to
per cent. The Bank of England had
unwiselv reduced its rediscount rate
to Az per cent, and was only able to
keep it there during the Summer te-
cause Of the lower rate here.
Following these events sterling ex.
charge began to rise when, according
to seasonal precedence, 1t should nave
declined. The currencies Of Holland,
Germany and Scandinavia followed
Argentine and Brazil negotiated large
loans in New York and drew gold out
ot this market in payment. Poland
went on a gold basis and she, too
secured the payment of portion OF
the proceeds of her loan in yellow
metal.
It has been the policy of the Gov
eminent acting through the Federal
Reserve Board, to maintain low in.
terest rates during the second half of
the wear. There have been two pur-
poses in mind impelling this policy.
The first was to aid the refundlng OPP
erations of the Government, which
must be continued into 1923 when the
third Liberty Az s mature, and the Sec
ond the need of assisting European
countries during their transition from
deprecated currencies to a gold basis.
Mellon Explains Policy.
There are two significant paragraphs
in the last report of Secretary Mel.
lon, which present the official view of
this subject. Dealing with the move
ment of gold between the United
States. England and other European
countries, he says: THE reserve pol
icy is at least in part responsible, not
simply through specific operations de-
signed to deal with gold movements,
but principally by the pursuance Of a
