WHY THE NATIONS HAVE MET.
(Continued from Page 8.).
Some see no evit anywhere save in high tariffs, though they are in fact a symptom rather than a
cause.
America is said to be going to propose an all-round reduction of tariffs. But her tarif wall is so high already that she could-make reductions without sensibly diminishing its exclusive power.
Others, with better reason, blame. War Debts. Since America insists on payment in gold; refusing goods, they have resulted in a large part of the world's stocks of gold lying idle in her vaults instead of serving as the medium of trade.
Some countries, notably France, will no doubt advoacte a general return to the gold standard. But they will be opposed by the coun- tries known as "Sterlingaria", which followed Great Britain "off gold and believe that they have benefited by doing so.
It will be seen that the Confer- ence must range the whole field of economics. It is not, by reason of the stipulations made by America, going to have War Debts officially on its agenda, but everyone knows
