SUPPLY OF GOLD IS
DECLINING; IS HELD
AS WORLD MENACE
PRODUCTION FAILS TO MEET RE
QUIRMENTS WORLD TRADE
EXPANSION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. (JP)— De
dining gold supply is worrying the
bankers.
A scarcity will inevitably lower
world commodity prices, the New
York Trust Co. warns. It quotes the
royal commission on Indian currency,
planning to put India on a gold
standard, that steadily falling prices
are in prospect "unless great econo
my is excercised in the use of gold.”
Briefly, the world's problem is
this:
Scores of governments are striv
ing to regain enough gold, lost dur
ing the war, to make gold the basis
of their monetary systems.,
The United States, as a result of
the war, owns 46 per cent of the
world’s monetary supply of gold.
Production in new metal is not
increasing* sufficiently, the 1925 mine
total being only about $394,000,000.
World commerce is increasing
yearly, and. as trade increases the
world’s gold stock must also in
crease one expert, Prof. R. A. Le,h
feldt, estimating that a 3 per cent
yearly increase in trade before the
war necessitated a tw'o and one half
per cent yearly increase in gold sup.
ply.
The New York Trust Co. points
out that in 1924-25 the gold output
increased only 2.25 per cent, and "a
2 per cent increase is the generally
accepted estimate for the future.”
Six countries returned to the gold
basis in some form during 1926:
Belgium, Canada, Chile, Finland,
Hungary and Switzerland. There
are about 29 important countries now
on a gold standard, with at least an
equal number struggling to get there.
!
A “church dress” is the smiling,
profitable answer of the fashion shop
to the Pope’s edict against gowns
too short at both ends.
It means one more change a week
and one more dress in the wardrobe,
and all is well in the best of worlds.
The increasingly strict enforcement
of the Vatican’s order that women in
“unseemly” dress shall be barred
from the church and not be given
communion caused uneasiness in the
j
style world at first. The gown de
signed for Sunday services solves
the problem because it will have a
style of its own, not necessarily
fluctuating with or following dress
makers’ whims.
The present flurry, like nearly all
else, is not new. In ages past there
have been similar campaigns and one
erudite scholar has dug out of an old
tomb the epigram: “Man is fire,
woman is tow, and the devil blows
on them.”
Low cut necks caused the trouble
in the old days, but that was easily
remedied with a piece of lace. Mod
ernism, however, complicated things
when it took to shortening gowns
at both ends and chopped off the
sleeves.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is "Looking Ahead.”
