NORMAN S WISH
!. EXPLAINED BY
FORBES
b. 81 3. F0RBs

Behind the visit TO this country
ot the governor 81 the Bank 81
England. Sir Montagu Norman.
lies deep significance. The out.
come of his deliberations this
week with the Federal Reserve
Bank authorltis may influence the
course Of both securities and busi.
ness in the immediate future.
Why2
Governor Benjamin strong.
of the Federal Reserve Bank Of
New York. and Sir Molltagu g.
operated extremely closely until
the formers death recently,
Governor Strong almost made Il
his business to fratefnize With
the heads of the Rsiehsbark and
the Bank Of France.
Plans Upset
I understand that Governor
Strong and Governor Norman
were hopeful that q friendly
understanding had been reached
among the governmental banks
of the four nations, which was
designed to obviate selfish inter.
national competition for gold.
The New York and London aas
thorities aimed to establish these
two cities as the worlds central
reservoirs of credit and gold.
Since Governor Strong died,
however, something approaching
scramble for gold has set in both
in Berlin and in Paris. The
Reiehsbank has drawn very heavily
upon London's stock OF the pre-.
eious metal, while the Bank Ct
France has been stearnnarking
gold heavily In New York.
This. I understand, has upset
all the former plans and expectas
tons and Is not at all to the
liking OF the Bank OF England.
Hence the current visit. of it,
head to confer with Governor
Harrison Of the New York Federal
Reserve Bank and other authoti-
ties in this country.
Understanding Sought.
Unless Berlin ana Paris can be
induced to exercise reason in
levying upon the gold supplies
in Iondon and in this country,
the effect upon the money markets
across the Atlantic and also here
may be such as to chill specula.
tive enthusiasm and even exercise

ness enterprises.
New York has resumed draw
ing upon Lond6n's gold On a
rather heavy scale, iii Addition
