Following the supposed lead of Professor Gustav Cassel, many who formed their opinions on authority take it that present or immediately prospective shortage in the world's supply of gold is a settled fact. Professor Cassel has hedged his view with a good many qualifica- bons: These, however, are, in com- mon discussion, apt to be ignored, and the shortage view adopted with unqualified crudity. It is of interest consequently to find an American opinion of weight cast into the scale "BENAVON"

As regards the production of gold ft is also of interest to note that the question of sufficiency or insufficiency is not to be judged by comparisons with the production in 1918. It is the fashion to make comparisons with the production in that year as a datum, and because annual production since 1913 has remained below the datum to infer

But as gold is not a commodity of consumption, and is not cooked and, eaten, the reasoning is fallacious. Whether gold production is sum- clent depends upon the expansion or contraction of international trade. If production by permanent additions to the stock keeps pace with the growth of international trade and exchange, it is sufficient even though the outpat may he below the 1918 tatal. Since 1918, the gold stock has been increased through permanent additions by over 40 per cent International trade the true criterion--has cer- tainly not outpaced that increase.
