Gold Standard.

A ABANDONMENT of the gold

Difficult to Unscramble

TT is likely to be no easy job to
Il unscramble the trade situation.
because of the efforts toward ma
tionalism in recent years. The call
ing of a trade congress probably
would serve no good purpose, be-
cause every country would want to
get everything and give nothing.
Conditions undoubtedly would be a
great deal worse after than before.
About the only hope would seem TO
be agreements between individual
nations, and even such agreements
might have unfavorable political re-
actions.
