Gold Standards
Obliterated
In 1936
MEW YORK. flJ.B The laat re
maining members of the gold bloc
France, Switzerland, and Tlio Neth
erlands were forced to devalue their
currencies in September, and the year
1086 ended without a single nation
maintaining ft gold standard of pro
depression specifications. , ' .
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.

Sees Little Chance
Of High Bond Yield
By DARWIN R. 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.
