HALF Of WORLD
GOLD YIELD
IS MISSING

The intricate part that gold ha'
played in the affairs Of civiliza
ton, and something of the rom
ance that clings to the yellow
metal, are disclosed by Frederick
Simpich in a communication tC
the National Geographic Society
released by the society as a bulle
tin. He writes:
"When gold was used merely
as a personal adOrnment, in
plate, or in the decorative arts,
It swayed the destiny only Of
those who possessed it, as in
Peru and Mexico, OF. when Rome
paid chariot loads Of it to the
barbarians to save herself from
being sacked.
"But when gold came into
wide use as money, to measure
wages, prices, and the cost Of
living in all nations, then it
began to influence the whole
world. Tariffs, the gold stand
ard, foreign exchange and
debts, .lrbitrage-gOld brings
them all into the picture of in
ternatiOnal relations.
HALF DISAPPEARS
Only about half of the
worlds gold production since
the discovery of America can
now be definitely located, says
the DirectO- of the United
States Mint.
"Since 1892 the world has
mined $22,413,757,117, as Off
cially reported. OF this, about
80 per cent has been produced
since 1860.
But today the worlds ma
tiOns hold, as monetary gold
stock, only about $11,94O,OOO,-
600.
"The missing ten billions or
more went, much of it, just as
in Olden times.
GOLDEN GOOSE
''In the monetary system of
the United States the gold dol
lar, though not now made, is
the unit of value; it weighs 25.8
grains and is O.9OO fine.
"GOld coins of $5, $40 and
$50 are now minted, known as
half eagles, eagles and double
eagles. Among workers in the
mint, the eagles picture is al
ways called The Goose
"Since the World War began
the world has swiftly increased
its effective stock of gold. This
has, in fact, grown by about
$6,8OO, 100000, or 14O per cent,
in the last 10 years. More gold
is being mined, less has been
used recently in the trades, and
private hOardings are being
surrendered in India. These
are the chief causes of the in
crease"
