LONDON BANKER IS

 ID HELP BUSINESS
DEPARTURE FROM THE GOLD STANDARD WOULD BE
 HARD BLOW

LONDON, Feb, g, iPp-At a banquet here, Mi. XXI. GOodenough, chairman of Barclays Bank, made the following comment as regards the gold standard and world business
 ."If there were political peace in many directions for example, in India or in China, or even in Russia the whole world would once more come into a period of great prosperity The develop ments that would take place would quickly lead to a redis- tribution of the worlds gold
 People sometimes think that artificial measures should be taken to produce rise in prices, either through imitation or by an abrogation of the g9ld stand ard Neither of those courses would really give any permanent help- me Iall ln prices haS not been due to the return to the gold standard but the previous period of imitation which caused the rise in prices was due to the departure from the gold standard and the return to it has had the effect only of rees- tablishing a common measure of world prices as between one country and another
 '.Tf the gold standard was how abandoned, the credit of the country would suffer and the ad- ditional cost of paying for our imports and discharging foreign debt would run the risk of being very greatly increased, besides which the trade would be great ly diminished"

 IAL MATTER
