NICKEL USES GROW
Stanley Sees Gain for Industry
From Diversifcation,

Although the nickel industry has
shared with industry the world over
oisappointments caused by the delay in
business recovery, a greater diversity of
uses has been found for the metal
in the last year, indicating a record de-
mand when normal conditions return
according to Robert c. Stanley, presi-
dent international Nickel Co. of Can
ada.
Mr.. Stanley points out that despite
adverse conditions International has
been able to show earnings on its
common stock and has completed its
extensive modernization program Nom
ferrous metal industries in general, he
added have put their houses in order"
and are better equipped physically and
financially to carry on business in the
future
THE industrial world has finally
learned during 1881 that prosperity
cannot be conjured back by pronounce
fnents," he asserted I'VE have been
taught that salvation lies in increased
plant efficiency, in greater marketing
ability and in better understanding
that certain situations transcend the
capacity of single companies and be-
come problems with which industry as
q whole must cope. The further lesson
has been given US that the maintenance
OF prosperity depends on self-discipline

NEW YORK, January 2.-The Henry

Closing the difficult year Of 1881
with a strong feeling Of relief, the
financial community finds itself look
ing forward with better spirit to pros
poets OF business and market improve
rnent for the next IL months. There
are many grounds for encouragement,
Among them Is the fact that, as agreed
by most authorities, both commodity
and security prices must be regarded as
being at bottom so that changes will
almost necessarily be for the better.
The Federal Government is plainly dis
posed to exert itself to the utmost for
the improvement of general conditions
through the extension Of its credit sup
port.
Actual measures to make this SUD-
port effective may now be expected
shortly after the opening of January.
Better economic prospects are fore
shadowed by experts in steel and other
basic industries and the railway out.
look Is unquestionably improved by the
new rates which are about to take ef-
feet. Other possibilities in connection
with transportation are afforded by the
readtustment of wages now in prospect
and the strong, probability of Govern.
nent financial aid. With all this in
the ofing, there is better tone and O
disposition to begin actual accommoda-
tion to new conditions throughout the
business world
THE closing week Of any year, with
tax-selling and the comparative mac
tivity Of the holidays, is usually period
OF unsatisfactory market conditions; and
this Is particularly so this year when
the disposition TO exaggerate the fitua-
ton in most directions is so prevalent.
The result is that final prices of the
year are not far from the low level.
Whatever may be thought of present
market values, it would seem that al
most any news of favorable character
with regard TO business or finance
should strengthen them materially"

GOLD IS BRIGHT SPOT
IN CANADIAN MINING
Production of Precious Metal
Stepped Up Sharply During

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario, January 2.-Gold,
which Canada is producing in ever in
creasing quantities, is the bright spot
In the 1881 mining picture. Second in
the world in 1880 with an output of
2,102,068 fine ounces, Canadas pro-
duction in 1881 totaled 2,679,7 fine
ounces, valued at s55,394,892 at the
standard rate of $20.67 a fine ounce.
Gold is now Canadas most valuable
mineral product, even surprising coal,
which held the premier position for
many years.
The total value of Canada's mineral
prCouCtion last year amounted to S227.-
100000, against s279873.578 in 1880,
according to a report Just issued by the
dominion Bureau of Statistics.
Metals as group were valued at

1881. Fuels. consisting of coal, nat

Structural materials, such as cement,
lime, stone, sand, gravel and the vari-
Gus clay products, totaled $44,S4s, 900,
decrease of 165 per cent.
Silver prices in 1881 were the lowest
ever recorded. The average for Febru-
airy was 26.773 cents per fine ounce
and the price f1uctuated between 81
and 295 cents until November, the
average for that month being 80 223
cents. These low prices had their .ef-

fine ounces was % per cent lower than
in the previous year The total value
fell from Sl0,089376 in 1880 to S5,9s4,-

Copper production totaled 290 ,581, ,122
pounds, a. decrease of 4 per cent, but
owing to the lower prices the total

maintenance of sound business rela-
tions with Americas neighbors.
The Golfers of the United States and
those Of France are filled with we'll
over half of the worlds total supply of
the yellow metal. They are, moreover,
scheduled to receive more each year
from nations which can i'll afford to
reduce their own supply. Gold, unless
put to use, constitutes a distinct eco
nomic waste. Consequently, as long as
this situation obtains, genuine bust
ness revival may not be looked for.
Overproduction.
How many absurditieS have been re-
corded in the name of overproduction!
To begin with, oyerproduction is the re-
suit and not the cause of economic dis
turbances.
There Is an ample supply of wheat,
for instance, and yet one reads of
hungry and starving citizens all over
the United States. There is an ample
supply Of cotton in the United States,
and yet the Polish textile industry is
ruined because of its inability to secure
cotton.
There are vacancies in buildings and
tenenlents, and yet there are many
without shelter. What the world suf-
ters from principally in underconsump-
tlon and maldistribution, ailments which
can readily be cured.
10 the above world problems may
be added several of purely domestic
nature, which careful examination will
prove to be vitality affected by what is
going on abroad. Among them, bud
getary difficulties, banking troubles and
the railroad situation rank foremost.
Measures have been proposed and are
about to be put into effect which are
confidently expected to dispose of the
problems the United States face at
nome. A solution will depend, how
ever, to very large extent, upon what
progress is registered abroad and upon
What those who are charged with
guiding the economic and political
destinies of nations will do to remove
the existing obstacles to speedy
rehabilitation.
In the foregoing an attempt has been
made to diagnose the prevailing crisis.
The remedies are known, and no time
should be lost in applying them. 1t is
futile to wait for miracles to happen.
They rarely do. Nor must one be de-
ceived by the conclusions arrived at by
number OF learned economists and
professional forecasterS, that depres-
sions do not last more than a certain
length of time and that, in conse-
quence, the era of prosperity is around
the corner because the stipulated time
has expired.
The world realizes today, more than
ever before, that existing difficulties
were precipitated by that fatal shot
fired in the Summer of 1914 in the
streets of Sarajevo by an irresponsible
Serbian youth, which killed the heir to
the Hapsburg throne.
Economic problems are not problems
in mathematics, field in which the
human relations element Is relatively
unimportant One thing, however
seems certain: The period of depres-
sion, because of the marked recuper-
ative powers of modern nations, is
much shorter today than it was 200,
or 100, or even 40 years ago, and the
period of prosperity which inevitably
follows depression is of much longer
duration than the preceding era of
hardship.

the gold holdings of Great Britain, the
balance at the disposal of the rest of
the world is close to $4,000, 100000. 1t
has been maintained that 81 of gold
may reasonably serve as basis for
credit amounting to $13.
Consequently, the present gold hold
ings of the world should be able to
support turnover Of about $l39,000,-
100000, or more than twice the total
maximum trade of the world reported
thur far. In other words, very mate
rial expansion in commerce and indus
trv is entirely possible on the basis of
the existing supply of the yellow metal.
The fears that chaos might, or Is even
bound to, ensue because of the 1mpend-
ing gold shortage are, in the writer's
opinion, groundless.

This is probably one of the most i'm
portant causes of the prevailing eco

half the United States succeeded in dis
posing Of her surplus products abroad
by loans and investments, which sup
piled Americas customers with the
means to pay for such exports
One of the most amazing condolences
Is the fact that American investments

during the period 1914-1929 Is almost
exactly equivalent to the aggregate ex-
cess of our exports over imports.

BANGKOK. Siam. June pa con-
stitutional monarchy was established in
Siam today after a sudden but brief
revolution in which only one man was
killed.
The chief of staff of the army was
shot down by his own men when he
resisted arrest.
The army and navy rebelled without
warning and the city was taken COM
pletely by surprise as mutinous troops
poured into the streets afoot and in
military tanks. A number of them had
machine guns.
The rebels invaded the palace and
captured several members OF the royal
family, a number of cabinet ministers
and other high government officials
whom they imprisoned in the building.
The navy chiefs sent a warship to
Huahin, where King Prajadhipok and
Queen Rambai were spending holiday
The leader of that expedition was
ordered to bring the monarch and his
consort bac kto Bangkok.
The mass of the people apparently
took no part in the movement and in
the main the city was quiet.
An Absolute Monarchy.
Siam, in the Native tongue, is Thai,
which means land of the free, but it is
an absolute monarchy, and King Pra-
jadhipok, who recently visited the
United States, is the supreme power of
the land.
He appoints the ministers and all
the other high government officials
and he may remove them whenever he
sees fit. There is no party government
and no parliament, and the King is
his own prime minister. Usually, how
ever, he consults with Supreme Coun-
Gil and cabinet on important matters
