INITIATION IDEAS
STILL CIRCULATED
Economists Cite Steady Rise
in Gold SuppIy-NearIy
Doubled Since 1929.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. Limitation ideas
persist in many places in Wall Street,
despite the resounding fall Of stocks
and commodities and shift in WASH
ington emphasis toward curtailed
spending and a balanced budget.
A year ago 1t was heavy Govern
ment spending through use Of bor-
rowed money that was mentioned most
frequently in the financial district as
the high road to imitation of prices
and living costs. The effect of such
spending and borrowing, economists
pointed out, was to expand bank de-
posits, the chief medium of exchange
in modern business.
Since then the Treasury has re-
duced its borrowing from banks,
partly from reduction in spending for
recovery and relief and partly from
increased receipts through payroll and
regular taxes. President Roosevelt
lately has harped on holding down
spending for continued approach to
balance between income and outgo.
Experts See Shift.
However, this has not encouraged
complete dismissal of imitation ideas.
On the contrary, many financial
experts insist the imitation Job merely
would be shifted from Government to
private borrowers. For private bor-
rowing and spending through use Of
bank credit, they note, may be as CT
fective in expanding the money sup
ply, that is bank deposits, as Treas
ury borrowing.
Behind the business and financial
front, imitation minded economists see
the steadily rising output of new gold
from the worlds mines and the huge
accumulation of yellow metal in the
United States.
Huge Basis Built.
Some day, they reason, the world
may put all this gold to work by erect
ing a huge structure of credit and cur
rency upon it. They figure the gold
base has expanded sufficiently the last
few years, through devaluation of cur
rencies and expansion in output of new
metal, to permit an extensive advance
in prices once industry uses credit now
idle.
In terms of devalued currencies, the
worlds recorded monetary gold has
about doubled since 1929.
Year after year, since falling COM
modify prices and the boost in the
gold price made the yellow metal more
profitable to mine, new production has
been increasing and the world notably
Russia and Japan. has pressed for
further expansion.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Electric power

the week ended November 27 totaled
65,879,000 kilowatt hours. o de-

and a decline of per cent from the

nounced today.
The November 81 weeks output rep
resented more than seasonal de-
cline, and established a new 1897 low.
1t was the first week In which output
had fallen below the corresponding
week of the preceding year since the
week Of September 20, 1894, and the
decline was the widest since March,
1888.
The drop carried the Associated
Press index of electric power produc-
ton to new 1887 bottom.
The index, with 1s2s-3O taken as
100. declined for the week ended
November 81 to 1850 from 1857 the
previous week. and 1l81 a year ago.
The index is adjusted for seasonal and

growers and cattlemen may have more
money to spend this fall than a year
ago, but less for other farmers, and
declines in construction activity and
employment already have been re-

October, 1887, not only failed to

but some barometers showed trends
more unfavorable than in many

Included among these were an en-
ployment slump, except in the West

of commercial failures, although the
