CompIocency on Gold
Is Declared UnWise

The United States cannot
afford to be complacent over
the outflow of gold, Washington
area bankers were told last
night.
Arthur Brickner, associate
economist of Bankers Trust Co.,
New York City, said the Ma
tion's gold reserves remain high
in relation to other countries,
but that international conf
dence in the dollar has weak
ened in the last year.
There has been no real flight
from the dollar but continu-
ance of large foreign aid out
lays. the growing disadvantage
of American goods price-wiSe
and the attraction of higher
interest rates in sound curren-
cieS abroad represent a trend
which should concern everyone
the speaker said.
He addressed the annual fall
meeting of the District Bank
erS Association at the May
flower and many questions
from the audience reflected
substantial interest in the gold
outflow.
The association voted resolu-
tionS honoring the memories
