Allied War Chest
Estimated al More
Than 3 Billions
National City Bank
Studies Prospects for
Cash Purchases
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-England and
France together had a war chest"
of more than $4,000, 100000 in gold
and dollar assets at the start of the
present conflict, the National City
Bank of New York estimated today.
The big Wall Street bank, with
numerous foreign branches, brought
out its compilation as business cir
cles tried to figure how much the
allies would be able to buy here in
event of a "cash-and-carry" neu-
trality law.
The National City estimated COM
bined British and French gold and
dollar assets at $8,180,O 900 900, COM
pared with s7,5o5, 100000 in 1914.
Its rough estimates" on a COM
parative basis, were set down as fol-
lows:

''In addition to the gold and dol
lar assets of Great Britain and
France, consideration may we'll be
given to their extensive investments
in the dominions and colonies" the
bank said in its monthly economic
survey.
These includes numerous Cana
dian securities, Rhodesian copper
shares, Rand mining shares and
large British investments in neu-
tral countries, such as South Amer
ica, many of which doubtless could
be sold in the New York market
for dollars.
British investments in Canada
have been estimated at about
50 500 100000, in South Africa at
81 100000 and in Argentina at
81 200 100000. d"
Finally, it should be pointed out
that an important continuous source
of dollar exchange available to the
allied powers lies in their new
production of gold. Approximately
S73OO00,C COO, or nearly two thirds of
the world output outside of Russia,
was produced within the British and
French empires in 1888, whereas in
1914 their annual production was
but O,0OO,O0O."
