were alarmed by the drain on their
gold and expressed intense resentment
against the American policy, charging
that the administration was making de-
hberate efforts to embarrass France.
For the time being the administra-
ton was prevented from driving the
dollar down to its projected parity
points in foreign exchanges by the riS-
ing tide of American dollars flowing
back TO this country. But most of
its financial experts were confident
that the 59.06 cents value would be
made to prevail after a reasonable
time to allow for the shakedown. AS
for the $50 an ounce for gold, it is
the opinion of Prof. George f. War
that is under way, that the figure
must be raised If prices of commodi-
ties are to be put up materially. Frank
E. Gannett, the Rochester newspaper
publisher, after d visit to the White
House and talking with both the
President and Professor Warren, said
In his Rochester Times Union that he
had been convinced by those CONVEX
satiOns that we shall continue to
raise the price of gold" and that the
$50 figure probably would succeed
only in preventing prices from slip
ping and could hardly be expected to
raise them much.
By the Presidents devaluation stroke
a treasury deficit of $1,000, 100000 was
transformed overnight into a surplus
of 1913, 716,937. The cut in gold con-
tent of the dollar produced a dollar
profit of $2,SO5, 512, 060.S7 as of Feb
ruary l and a record cash balance of
$4,434, 713, 1878, pending deduction of
the $2,0O0,0O0,0O0 sterilization fund.
The profit on the gold was paid into
the general fund of the treasury, and
the new dollar value of the treasury
gold supply was written into the books
at S7,01S, 263, 925.70 The surplus did
not alter the official outlook for a
deficit of approximately that amount
at the close of the current fiscal year,
June 80, in view of the extraordinary
expenditures of the Presidents recov-
cry program.

CHORTLY after the President signed
~ his devaluation proclamation, the
treasury announced that a new form
of currency was being prepared by the
bureau of engraving to take care Of
the problems created by transfer Of
title to all federal reserve bank gold to
the treasury. Gold certificates, the
same size as currency now in circula-
ton, will be used. Instead of the alb
solute promise to pay in gold carried
by gold certificates previously issued,
however, these will say:
''This is to certify that there is on
deposit in the treasury of the United
States of America (blank) dollars in
gold, payable to the bearer on demand
as authorized by law"
Since the law forbids transactions
in monetary gold except under special
treasury license, this means that the
certificates are not redeemable In met
al except for payment of international
balances under treasury authority, and
for similar uses. These certificates
will not circulate and will be held al
most exclusively by the reserve banks.
