united EUROPE
PROPOSAL OFF

GENEVA, Jan. % Q.N.SD The
commission of inquiry into Aris-
tide Brands plan for a united
Europe, after issuing a solemn
manifesto denouncing current war
talk and assuring continued peace,
adjourned today until May to per
NIT Russia, Turkey and Iceland
to join in further federation dis
cussionS.
Stick to Peace
The manifesto was submitted by
the representatives of England,
France, Italy and Germany. In
it the chief spokesmen of the va
rious powers declared themselves
"resolutely determined" to adhere
to the League of Nations machin-
cry to prevent war, and declared
that 'tthe best service we can rem
der toward an improvement of the
economic position is the firm as
Surance of European peace"
Recovery Is Hindered
In addition to appointing three
committees to study the plan for
a unified Europe, the commission
in it's manifesto stated:
"As a result of our discus
sions and conversations during
the last few days concerning
the problems which our govern
ments have respectively to face,
it has become plain that eco
nOmic recovery is now being
hindered by lack of confidence
in the course of future events,
due to widespread political
anxiety. That anxiety has been
increased by irresponsible talk
in various quarters concerning
the possibility of international
war"

for business credit without which the issues of credit money may easily lead to in- flation.
 Is it not time that consider ation should be given to the importance of a worldwide movement for sound money, for a stabilization of world currencies as the basis of world commerce and world earning power which can make available the comforts of life to an increasing circle of pros porous and happy people not only from the selfish stand point of our own prosperity but for the more altruistic pur- pose of leading away from world wars and into fields of prosperity and contentment.

the proper conception of the fundamentals of monetary ex- change.
 How then are we to stabilize the money mediums of the world upon some basis which is constant, which is ample for business needs, and which is so regulated as to prevent in- flation and rising price levels upon one hand and falling price levels and business de- pression upon the other.
 There is a problem the sol ution of which requires real statesmanship. A division of the worlds gold supply among the nations of the world upon some basis proportioned to the population and industrial act ivity, might if it were possible, furnish a solution but such solution is both impractical and impossible. Such division of the worlds gold reserves would cripple our own finan- cial independence. Shall we not then seek as the supporting basis of currency some other substance, the supply of which does not fluctuate in amount and which may be used as a supplement to gold in support ing the money medium of those countries whose markets we desire to enter but which are without purchasing power be- cause lacking a monetary me- dium to stimulate business act witty. To be more specific, the world gold production has reached it's zenith. The worlds silver supply throughout the ages has been on a basis of ap- proximately IA to 1. The ratio of production of gold and sill yer has varied when new dis. coveries have been made but only for short period of time.
 The production of both met alS in any one year does not materially increase or decrease the worlds reserve, and, therefore, jointly furnish safe and uniform basis of exchange. Gold alone can not and will not keep pace with the grow ing demand for metallic base

Money and Foreign Trade

In this country we take pride in the development of a sound monetary system-a system which can be expanded to meet increasing business activ- ities and contracted when the money demand has subsided, states the Mining Congress Journal, and continues: This system is based upon the gold standard. AS it relates to our home consumption of 90 per cent of our possible product ion, the gold standard has been an unqualified benefit to the nation. These benefits have been intensified by world de- mands upon our industrial production which has brought to this country almost half of the total world gold monetary reserves.
 The business prosperity of the nations of the world s in a general way in proportion to the amount of sound money which each of the countries control in proportion to it's volume of trade. At one time the British Empire was alto gether the most prosperous of any of the world nations. The United States was struggeling for place in the world busi- ness and to pay off her for eign obligations, payable in gold, largely held by England, France and the United States have become the two most prosperous nations in the world and these nations con- trol considerably more than half of the worlds gold. The population of these countries is but a small percentage of the total world population. The issuance of fiat money by any nation carries with it positive danger to financial stability. Our own federal banking syst em with it's marvellous ability to meet the demand for in- creasing currency has in it also the elements of grave abuse if controlled by men lacking
