Wall .Street is worrying a little because of gold leaving 1 lie United States, (iokl shipped front New York last week, worth elose to $.-().()(MI,0(HI, set n record for several years. At that rate control of the world's gold would soon shift from the 1'niled Stales to Europe. The liank of France today lias more gold than, any na tion except this. This country did that during the will", when American dol lars were worth 50 cents each in Spain, and Chinese money yood higher in the world's cur rency market than I'ncle Sam's money. M However, we have plenty of gold left. And, what is more important, we have the things that you ean exchange for gold, .and the industrial intelligence that beats competition. So. there is no cause for great worry. Secretary Lnmont reports to President Hoover that Christ mas buying is more active this year than it was last.
