Nov. 2fi The effect« of the flood of void, deluging thia nation since the outbreak of the European war. federal finance ex- perta are trying to find out. “Get rid of the blamed stuff," one feder al expert adviaed recently. "It isn’t doing ua any good and it may do immense harm. We. aa a nation, are just like an individual. When we have just enough to keep us we k«*ep stirring ail the time If each individual in the nation has a legacy left him suddenly, there wouldn’t be much stirring. That is our fix. We have got more gold than we can uw* It mav lead to unwise loans and reeultant speculation. It is keeping us hack now because bank ers, afraid of an overbalanced loan system, are afraid to loan money." This official agreed with some of the big (tankers who, at a recent conference, advised more extensive foreign loans, with foreign bonds as security instead of the American collateral that has been demanded. "We’ve got to do It some time," this expert said. "America has been provincial in the matter of foreign securities We have invested our money in American bonds and securi ties generally. Hut we have not ab sorbed much of Europe# holdings in our securities. Now we've got to aheorb some of theirs. It will help our financial system in the end. and it will help us to get rid of a surfeit of gold that worries moat of us who have stopped tn think where it may end.” Salem.

The principal fear of American bankers is that financiers, made overconfident t>ecauee of the great quantity of gold in this country, will build too much on it. What are regard«! as unsafe loans, or specula tive loans, are not those obtained for ordinary speculation, but those required for building factories and elarting enterprises during the pros perity wave. "Too manv factories would be as bad as too much stock gambling." this expert said. “We can't stand it. We are manufacturing everything in the United States now. If this country, holding 27 per cent, of all the gold in the world, is caught at the »-nd of the war with too many loana outstanding, there is fear of a dangerous tightening of the money market when the gold starts going back to Europe—aa it will. If Euro pean manufacturers "come back" they will turn the trade balance against this country as it waa before the war necessitated heavy exports from America and negligible ex ports to it." Another hanking expert of the government believes thia country can absorb moot of the gold it now bolds. "Our gold holdings are not as big ' aa a lot of people think." he said.' "We held 24 per cent of the world’s | gold before the war We have in- (Contuiued on page 4) i New York, Nov. 27. Out of the Salem, ^lov. 27 ("harl«*# Murphv Washington. Nov. 27.
