MONEY PROBLEMS.

It is not surprising to find that the Associated Chambers of Com- merce in the United Kingdom have made an attack on national expenditure and heavy taxation jand suggest the use of the "axe” in certain spheres of Govern- mental activity. During a world depression disorganisation and lack of confidence are general. Trade and finance has escaped. from the rational control which seeks to give its volume steadiness and increase. Those who, when they find their income dwindling, seek for persons to blame rather than causes to remedy, are in- clined to accuse mysterious and sinister beings of great power and malignance to whom they at- tribute 'control of the world's money. But financial power in the infinitely diversified universe

of production, buying and selling, is derived from the care of others' savings, and it is just those sav- ings which are threatened by a crisis such as the pre sent. It is not a world control of money, evilly used, but the lack of a rational world control of money that is partly responsible for the present disorganisation. The trouble is not that financial powers in different countries are working together, but that they are falling to do so

producing other goods, taking the gold as a whole, has fallen. Moreover the value of gold is fairly stationary. The dearer

other things get, the less it pays to mine. So far then as less gold, in proportion to goods, means less currency in proportion to goods, prices should be lower.

A country with confidence in ita own finance, like Great Bri- tain, can do with a very small gold reserve, but France, which has had a very bad fright about the value of the franc, has hoard- ed gold to an extent that forces even London to protect its sup- plies.
