The United States gained 5000, 900, 900
in gold in two months ending June "a
the Federal Reserve Board announced
in the monthly bulletin issued for pub
LEGATION today.
This was principally due. 1t was said,
to the loss Of $230.000 900 in gold and
$50. 900, 600 in foreign exchange by the
ReichSbank from May 81 to June %,
which brought the banks gold reserve
down to almost the legal minimum.
I'm recent weeks additions to this
country's gold stock. which have been
continuous since last Autumn, greatly
increased in volume" the board said.
In addition to the inflow Of gold from
Argentina and Canada. large amount
Of gold. which had previously been held
from foreign account, was released in
the United States.
Connected With Crisis.
This release of gold was connected
with large scale withdrawal of short
time funds from the German market.
The board said the law required the
Reichsbank's ratio of reserves to notes
to be not less than 40 per cent and
that the reserves had declined to 404
per cent.

gold situation. the board said that
france and the United States had been
the principal recipients of gold since
1925.
The board said that in the last few
months there had been an increased de-
mana Tor currency in connection with
disturbed banking conditions, particu-
larry IN the Chicago district.
Such denads. it continued, have de-
veloped on several occasions since last
November with large increase in cur

GALES MAY HEAD
FINANCIAL GROUP
MexiCo's "Strong Man" Need
ed to Peg Sliding Peso.
Has Peaceful Home.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICA CITY. July 81. - just
as Plutareo E. Gales was getting nicely
started with his breeding OF prize
horses, COWS and chickens, another ma
tional crisis has come along, and II
looks as though he would haze to fore
20 the rural pleasures of his beautiful
hacienda, Santa Barbara"
Mexico's strong man" is expected to
be called to the post of president Of the
Bank of Mexico. with the duty of peg
ging the fast-sliding silver peso.
Since he left the presidency OF the
nation three years ago, Gales has spent
as much time as possible on his estate,
20 miles from Mexico City.
Hospitable to All.
There the politicians and generals find
him when they want advice-and a well
come awaits callers much more loWly
Although his town house, at the foot OF
historic Chapultepcc Castle Hill, is con-
stantly guarded by detail of soldiers,
the poorest peon may wander unqueS-
toned through the gate of Santa Bar
bara and talk with the man who, though
out of office, still dominates the political
lie of Mexico.
II was at Santa Barbara that the
general married his second wife year
ago-and the ceremony was performed
u the cack,ingS Of thousands Of lsg-
horns. as fine a looking flock as there
Is in all Mexico.
Last month Gales held his fifty
fourth birthday celebration in the little
school house nearby. which was built
for the children of his employees.
President Ortiz Rubio. his cabinet
and many generals attended that cele-
bratiop, and Gales proudly told them
he never had felt in better health. The
country, he said, was good to him.
Service Twice Asked.
Twice before Gales has been called
from retirement-once to quell the
Escobar rebellion and once to straighten
out a menacing political crisis.
Reports that he was slated for the
post of financial car" were strength
ened today by the resignation of Javier
Sanchez Mejorada as vice president OF
the Bank of Mexico. His place, it was
said. will be offered to Gales.
II the strong man" takes the post
a stockholders meeting will be called,
it was reported. and he will be elevated
to the presidency, with ample powers
10 deal with the exchange problem.
And when he accomplisheS his task
Mexico will let him go back to his COWS
and chickens.
Stability Fund Needed.
The establishment of a regulatory
fund to stabilize silver is urgently
needed as a measure to help Mexico
through the economic crisis, the ma
tjonal chamber of commerce said today
in a message to President Ortiz Rubio.
Other recommendations were that the
division of lands under the agrarian
law be suspended; that the discussion
of the labor law pending in Congress
be conducted without radicalism: that
a national bank be established to aid
agriculture, commerce and industry,
and that national conference of COM
mercial and industrial interests be con-
Voked to discuss relief measures.
