Transition from gold to a managed currency by these countries was fac ilitated by aid from the United States antt Great Britain. These nations! worked out in agreement with France for free Interchange of gold among them by way of their equalisation ; funds. Later other countries were In- j eluded. The step was hailed by some i us a move toward stabilization of world currencies. V. 8. Treasury Sec retary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., how ever, said the plan was "on a 24 hour basil." Fluotuatloi Settles As a result of gold transfers being entirely handled by equalisation funds, the fluctatlons of various currencies late In the year aettled down to arti ficial routine. The French franc by Its latest de valuation is left unstabllized between 4.81 and 4.96 cents. It recently has been around 4.66 cents. Its previous parity on a 69.06 cent dollar basis was 0.63 cents. Before the U. 8. devalued It was 8.92 cents and before the war it was 19.30 cents. The Netherlands guilder is now around 54 cents, against the former parity of 68 cents; Swiss franc 23 cents, against 82 5-8 cents. Czechos lovakia devalued while Russia revalu ed Its rouble to take up the slack left by French devaluation since the rouble is quoted In francs. Italy devalued its lira following a struggle to support it during the thioplan war. during the Ethlapian war. Aside from the foregoing, foreign currencies made little change for the year. The Argentine peso, an excep tion, made a smart advance. German marks were quoted unchanged from a year ago, but for practical purposes Germany'i variety of currencies called tbo mark are about equivalent to de valuation. Spanish pesetas were not quoted late in the year been use of the troublous conditions in Spain that made exchange of money Impossible. Far eastern currencies were steady.

JAMES President, East Blver Savings Bank NEW IORK (U.K The assured growth of mutual savings deposits in 1937 emphasises the acute need of suitable investments. It is unlikely that gilt-edged investment will pay much higher ratess of yield for sev eral years to come. Higher earnings and higher dividends are not to be ex pected while the present cheap money rates continue. The mutual principle of aecurity be fore every other consideration neces sarily limits the outlets of these In stitutions to the fewest of invest ments. Yet the rate of yield paid by mutual savings banks of the country Is substantially higher than the aver age return from Federal securities. In turn It also Is higher than the yield of a majority of the best state and municipal bonds. In the future, as in the past, the sound first mortgage will continue to ba the principal outlet for mutual funds, an Important contribution to the realty market, to new home build ing and construction of every kind.
