LOSS TO u. S. IN GOLD VALUE 1
is SEEN BY BRITISH BANKER
Says Decrease IN Demand
Would Lower Cost of
Commodities.
Importance of Rate Held
Less Than Maintenance of
Pound in World Markets.
BY SIR JOSIAH STAMP,

Director Of the Bank OF ENGLAND and PresI-
den, Of the London Midland and Scottish
BY Cable to TIE Star.
LONDON, September "a (NANA).-
Going of the gold standard, because OF
an unbalanced budget and with the
prospect OF an unlimited issue of paper
money, conjures up visions of past cur
rency DETERMINATIONS In Europe-the
flight from the mark and the fight from
the franc-and 1t naturally makes all
people abroad. who have dealings with
Great Britain apprehensive
For all historical parallels show that
this is perilous condition both for the
debtor and the creditor, especially where
the debtor has an international name
to sustain in the banking and the in
vestment world. But while this cause
of going off the gold standard is a sit
uation that threatens, 1t is not the cause
that really operates.
Going of the gold standard because
international bankers and foreigners
who have deposited their money with
Great Britain have got into difficulties
and presented their claims simultane-
ously and to much greater extent than
would be regarded as normal under any
banking system, was quite another af-
fair. a
New Features Presented.
This situation created by this cause
presents features for the future which
are quite different and quite new. So
far as Great Britain Is concerned,
there are certain advantages to be
weighed against certain grave disad-
Vantages and at some times those who
see the one are more vocal than those
who fear the other.
People who are taking steady, long
view of the situation are weighing two
things: First, the advantage in the long
run to British industry on being re-
lieved from The continuous depression
effects and social consequences of the
heavy fall in prices which seemed ag-
gravated by Great Britains adherence
to gold, On one side, and, second, the
effect upon British finance as an in
ternational center.
Great Britain draws some ESQ 900 600
to 60,000000 sterling as an irIterna-
tional money center from banking
commissions and all kinds of financial
services. If this source Of income is
seriously impaired. 1t will be very diff
cult to compensate 1t merely by the
stimulus of internal industry to the
same amount. The reason is that the
$4,000 900 to ESQ, 000,0 900 form an
integral part Of the balance Of trade in
paying for our foreign imports. 1t IL
one Of the things we present to for
eigners in order to get an exchange OF
our food stuffs.
Now no amount OF internal prosperity
and profits Is quite of the same order
or quality as this Unless we are able
to stimulate exports OF some other

material kind in place of our financial
services this means definite check
upon our ability to feed our people and
a definite difficulty in balancing our
international trade account.
Has Peculiar Importance.
The profits OF the City of London.
therefore, are no mere matter of in
come of rich bankers. They have
definite connection with our standard
of life
1t is not sufficiently recognized abroad
that the natural population OF Great
Britain, without very large foreign
exchange of commodities and services,
would be far smaller than it is-prob-
ably only 10000, ooo-and we can only
keep $4,000 900 with our high standard
of life If we maintain that profitable
interchange in foreign trade upon
which the population has grown.
The maintenance, therefore, of Lon
don as financial center has peculiar
Importance in the maintenance OF the
British standard of life.
To what then Is this argument
directed? 1t raises at once the ques-
ton of the value of sterling as an inter-
national currency, and the quality and
quantity Of sterling bills in use through
out the world. This has been the most

foreign trade, not merely with Great
Britain, but between two quite in
dependent countries far away on the
earth.
If the Javan exporter to Japan can
no longer be paid in sterling bill,
what will be the method of financing
him? The bill is drawn and almost
Immediately discounted, so that the ex-
porter receives his money to carry on
his business without waiting for the
importer to clear the whole financial
operation by selling the goods and max
ing them up in manufactures. The
importer, on the other hand, does not
pay until after a period of time. When
he pays, he pays the bank that has
discounted the bill. Some one is re-
quired who will carry this financial
operation for this period between the
original production and the ultimate
use, and great Britai1's going off the
gold standard does not reduce this
financial necessity for traders through
out the world.
Can the bill. therefore, now be drawn
in dollars and francs? No doubt it
could be, but for bills so drawn on any
