GOLD STANDARD BEST MONETARY SYSTEM

LEAGUE REPORTS WORLD'S GOLD STOCKS ADEQUATE

FREER CREDIT AND REDUCED RESERVE RATIOS RECOMMENDED.

EARLY DEBTS SETTLEMENT

Geneva, Yesterday. "That the Gold Standard remains the best available monetary mechanism capable of achieving most of the advantages claimed for alternative standards, is the opinion expressed in the final report

of the Gold Delegation appointed by the League of Nation's in 1929. It declares that apart from considerations of the distribution, the world's gold stocks are adequate to support the credit struc- ture, and the rapid price decline is not attributable to any deficiency of the gold supply,

CREDIT AND RESERVE RATIOS,

The raising of the present price levels, which is admittedly de- sirable, does not depend on the monetary policy alone; the report proceeds, but nevertheless the central banks ought to encourage a freer use of credit, and also reduce the recognised reserve ratios.

A sharp reminder of the dig- nity of the Law Courts was visit The main minority report, signed by the Chairman, Mr. Albert the Nazis, when appearing as a the dominant cause of the breakdown in the Gold Standard was bad“ ed on Adolph Hitler, leader of Janssen, and also the whole of the British Delegation, amsert that
