1). S. MAY SUFFOCATE
IN GOLD, BERLIN VIEW
Abandonment by Europe of Stand
ard Held Possible—London
Money Power Declines.
DOLLAR AND POUND BATTLE
Supremacy of American Financial
Leadership Is Conceded.
By the Assoriated Press.
BERLIN, May 39. —“Is the United
States becoming- alarmed over the
danger of suffocating in her post
war accumulation of the world’s gold,
or her prospective ability to mob
ilize her resources of minted billions?
What would happen if Europe sud
denly concluded to discard the gold
standard entirely and left the United
States to an isolated contemplation
of her idle gold?”
Curiosity in this direction has been
provoked by a recent pronunciamento
of the federal reserve banks’ di
rectorate in connection with fixing
the dollar as the official unit of com
putation for the new German bank
of emission.
The German financial writer ob
serves that the future historian of
post-war international finance will
make due record of the American
demand, not because it reflects some
thing new or unexpected, but be
cause this manifestation records in
plain-spoken American business dic
tion a fact long known but insuf
ficiently appreciated.
Power Held by United Stales.
“These dryly uttered words,” says
Germania, the official organ of the
local party, “simply stress the transi
tion of financial power from one con
tinent to another: in short, the abdi
cation of Europe, which must be
squarely faced.”
The paper confesses that Europe
no longer sets the financial pace for
t.he world and asserts that the Bank
of England, once the incarnation of
stability and the world's money
center, is no longer its former self.
"The Anglo-Saxons still hold the
whiphand.” continues Germania, “but
they are not European Anglo-Saxons
—they are the sons of the former
English colony, who now hold half
the world's minted g0.1d."
The prospect of between
the dollar and the English pound
suggests to the Vossische Zetlung
that such a controversy would not
be affected by German interests or
wishes, inasmuch as it would wholly
resolve itself into a question of
American and British prestige and
the future utility of America's gold
reserve.
Effect of Maneuver.
In order to dethrone the gold dollar
It would only be necessary, according
to the Vossische Zeitung, to annul ex
isting legislation bearnig on coinage
and abolish the custom of fixing an
official rate for gold. The effect of
such a maneuver would be similar to
that of forty years ago. when the
world discarded bimetalism. which
resulted in the depreciation of silver.
The effects of such a financial coup,
says the paper, would be that the
world's remaining gold would migrate
to the United States, there to be con
verted into paper dollars at full gold
value.
“Even a country of such economic
importance and potency,” adds the
paper, "could not afford this luxury,
which would be tantamount to a gi
gantic gold inflation that would defi
nitely seal the fate of America’s
Treasury reserves.”
DEERING’S DEATH LAID
TO POISON BY OFFICIAL
Grandson of Harvester Magnate
Not Victim of Plane Acci
dent, Says Coroner.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 19 —Charles W. C.
Deering, son of Charles Peering and
grandson of the late William Deering.
harvester magnate, for whom funeral
services were held here Saturday,

dent, Coroner T. B. W. Leland of San
Francisco decided yesterday, accord
ing to messages received here.
As a result of the finding, an in
vestigation into the death, which oc
curred ten days ago in the coast city,
was ordered. At the time of the death
detectives reported finding several
empty bottles believed to have con
tained poison in his room.
About a month ago Deering was
made defendant in a $50,000 breach of
promise suit filed by Mrs. Marguerite
Curl, California divorcee. If was
later reported the case had been set
tled out of court. The aviation ac
cident which at first was thought to
have been responsible for his death
occurred near San Francisco last No
vember.
