VALUE FLUCTUATIONS
 OF GOLD BIG PROBLEM

LONDON, Dec. z9.-The tower- ling superstructure of commerce and credit, railroads and ships, oil wells and skyscrapers, gas works and electric plants erected on the basis of gold bullion is beginning to prove too heavy for it's founda- tion in the view of British finan- cial experts.
 They believe the rate of gold production is falling behind the rate of world development, while the total of gold output eyinces a downward trend.
 With the nations of Europe re- turning to a gold standard. there may ensue such a scramble for the precious metal that world trade may experience disastrous reac- tions, it is pointed out. The higher level of prices consequent upon the world war has added story to story of the structure built on gold sands. Geld in consequence has 1 fluctuated in value.
 English financiers are looking to the United States for help in solving the problem. The Federal Reserve has been credited in Lon- don with trying to prevent undue fluctuation in prices and with let ting the big supplies of gold in the United States flow back to other countries, so that the gold standard may be established on a firm foundation throughout | h ( world.
 The League of Nations also has taken up the problem by request ing it's finance committee to "con- slider to what extent and in what way the League of Nations could most usefully assist in the study and solution of the problem of un- due fluctuation of the purchasing power of gold
 Stabilization of currencies so faI accomplished is said to have in. creased the demand for gold, while heavy foreign lending by the Unit. ed States has resulted in more rapid distribution of monetary stocks than had been expected. A British banker recently sug- gested that much would be ac- complished if, through cooperation of countries now on a gold basis short-time fluctuations in the value of gold could be leveled and long, time movements made so slow and smooth as to be almost innocuous to production and trade.
