GOLD PRODUCTION
GAIN IS EXPECTED
Output of Mines for Year
1881 Estimated at 21,-
100000 Ounces.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October 24-More
-old probably will be produced in the
mines of the world this year than at any
time since the record years of 1915 and
1916. A conservative estimate, ac-
cording to Engineering and Mining
Journal. places the 1881 output at
21,000,000 ounces, compared with
20,150,000 ounces in 1890
Not only is the actual volume of
production by gold mines greater than
at any time in the last fifteen years"
the publication states. but the scale of
profits is also greater. The depression
that has spelled disaster to so many
other industries has lowered production
costs for the gold industry, which OBJ
tains a fixed price for its product"
Increase in production this year Is
shown largely in Canada. South Africa,
Australia and one or two other coun-
tries. The United States stands third
in estimated totals of fine ounces to be
produced in 1881. Its production this
which compares with 2,l00,395 ounces
which compares with 2,100,385 ounces
produced in 1880. The 1881 estimate
for this country does not include the
Philippine Islands.

DECLARES PESSIMISTIC
VIEWS NOT JUSTIFIED
BY the Associated Press.

AS5OCIdVtu
PARIS, October 24-The council of
the International Chamber of Commerce
was told by Abraham Frowein, its Ger
man vice president, that pessimistic
views of world economic conditions were
not justified.
"The effects of the crisis at present
are so acute he said, that some peo--
pie doubt the solidity Of the bases OF
modern economy. There Is nothing
justifying such a pessimistic view OF
things"
If creditor nations attempt to re-
cover interest on loans or the loans
themselves by other means than accept
ing goods in payment or granting fresh
credits, he said, they will make the
same mistake as individuals who at
tempt to convert their values into gold.

and is being studied by the biology

A Bigger Navy

Naval cut of $50 900 announced by President"
run the headlines "One year naval building truce an
nounced by Stimson" So other headlines And
Navy League charges Hoover ruins navy; pac1sts
defend Hoover's naval economy"
From these and similar headlines doubtless the
average citizen has the idea that the American navy
is being reduced indeed it is not already its last
legs.
To keep the record straight, we beg to report that
such is not the On the contrary, the navy is
large and growing The naval personnel is not being
reduced. And far from stopping naval construction
for economy purposes, the new Hoover budget calls
for an increase.
That much advertised cut of $59OOOO0O represents
nothing more serious than juggling with figures. 1t is
merely the difference between what the navy depart
rent originally proposed to ask for next year and
what it actually asks Since it always puts its original
proposals high like every other department., those
bargaining figures mean nothing
After publicity was given to that juggling of fig
ures. the government issued a figure which low
cred the alleged saving from $5sOoOOOO to $170OOOOO
That $17OOOOOO is the difference between this years
appropriation and the new budget requests of
$S43 100000 for next year.
In boastng of this alleged economy, however, the
administration forgot to mention that convenient
thing known as the deficiency appropriation BILL"
Each year Jne navy usually mas TWO. baSG year the
total of deficiency naval appropriations above the
budget was $17400000.
Based upon that experience, the total navy appro-
pratonS next year therefore will not be than this
year but at least 100000 more than this year.
The prospective increase is even larger than the
figures indicate because the drop in the cost of ma
erials and in the cost of food and clothing for per-
sonnet will leave many millions of dollars more to
spend.
There were two places in which Hoover had been
expected to save naval appropriations to meet the
federal deficit one was the closing of certain So
called political navy yards-as at Boston and Charles
ton-which naval officers long have agreed are not
needed, but which survive through political pres
sure The President has succumbed to that polit-
ical pressure, and the useless navy yards will con-
tnue to increase the federal deficit.
The other expected economy in ships. In
view Of the deficit the alleged international naval
building truce and the February disarmament con-
ference it was supposed that Hoover would post
pone until after February of his requests for
