Even at moments when fears of war
were at the highest point it may have
been -remarked that the tone of the
New Tork Times' dispatches had been
consistently optimistic, and it is no
breach of confidence to say that the
reason for that was to be found in
the Information your correspondent had

diplomacy were working together in

by a very competent observer some
weeks ago. when the perils of the situa
tion seemed greatest, led him to the
conclusion that the reason of the re
markable accumulation of gold in the
Bank of France was. In part at least,
due to the fact that the French were
caning in tneir balances, especially
from Berlin. The Casablanca Incident
was never a really serious one. but,
to a large section of the French in
vesting public it seemed so to compli
cate the situation that manv nf thn in

neighborhood of the eastern frontier

maters such as this, where It ia im
possible to obtain tangible financial
data, a fact of this kind is an impor
tant, inaex.
It must be stated that there is by no
means an agreement of authorities on
the subjeot. While all are agreed that
tne lnnuence or haute rmance" was
exerted in favor of peace, there is no
consensus or opinion as to any practl
cal steps having been taken to make
that influence felt in advance of the
actual neceslty.

Opinions of Other Bankers.
Another banker said that to the w

another declared that the gold move
