When Saudi ARABIA fought and

Imam's attitude toward Italy be-

ETHIOPIA increased this feeling.
since the fate of the Negus was
felt by some to foreshadow what
might happen to the Imam.
When the date of expiration for
the 1926 treaty drew near it was
doubted that it would be renewed.
Mussolini sent Gasparini back. He
succeeded in getting renewal for
only one year. Then Italy really
went to work to win back the
Imam's regard and trust.
During 1897 Italy, despite its
preoccupation in international af-
fairs, particularly in Spain and in
Palestine, maintained constant
touch with the Red Sea state.
In July, 1887, Gasparini, again
sent to Yemen, persuaded the
Imam to sign another treaty for
10 years.

lowered. This reason alone should be sufficient to keep the price up.
 "As originally enacted the law granted the President the author ity to change the weight of the gold dollar. Congress made vi tai change however when it pass ed the Gold Reserve Act of 1884. Now it would be necessary to pass an amendment to the Act before the price of gold could be reduced to $25 per ounce.
 ''The Administration has been responsible for the agreement be- tween Great Britain, France and the United States to stabilize cur rency and remove trade barriers. Great benefits have occurred sim ce this currency accord was sign ed. The United States would be very reluctant to disturb the monetary system, as reducing the price of gold would do.
 "A reduction in the price of gold would automatically reduce the monetary gold stock of the United States Treasury. Whatev- CT benefits have accrued to the Treasury through the profits of the 1894 devaluation, would be largely disSipated by lowering the price of gold, thus making the budget far more difficult to bal ance.
 Tn regards to the question of controlling the production of new gold on the basis that it is an excess that causes imitation. Laurie state that the rising costs of gold production will tend to limit the worlds output. As eq- uilibrium is established in world economy the demand for gold will be greatly increased by the necessity of many nations to ex- pand their monetary gold reserv- es."
 MT. Laurie presents some very sound arguments to support his judgment. The entire gold min- ing industry hopes that he is right. If he is wrong, we Nome ties will have to give up our marginal diggings and move up
