OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS EUROPE’S GOLD RESERVES While Europe sent to the United States more than two hun- dred and fifty million dollars in gold during the first six months of the current year above receipts from this country, neverthe- less a slight gain occurred in that period in the total gold re- serves of Europe held by central banks or government agents. Only three of the fourteen chief European gold holding| countries showed a diminution in their gold stocks from Janu-| ary 1 to July 1, and these losses were relatively slight, their| combined total amounting to less than twelve million dollars.| This loss was more than offset by gains among the other eleven countries, the net increase of the fourteen combined amounting to $1,199,000. ‘ ; Yet between January 1 and July 1, the gold stock held by! the Federal Reserve banks in the United States increased by| $402,601,000, or nearly 20 per cent of the $2,059,330,000 they| held the first of the year, almost two-thirds of the increase be-| ing made up by the gold from European shipping points, the rest coming from non-European and domestic sources. | An analysis of this gold movement shows that present| European gold reserves are not being drained to swell Amcri-i ca’s holdings, but that the increments to this country’s hoard| since the first of the year, insofar as shipments from Eur(mez\n} points are concerned, are chiefly accounted for by three great| streams of the metal consisting of newly mined supplies from| Africa coming by way of London; of gold yielded up by India,‘ also coming by way of London; and of metal thought to have! originated from Russian sources, eventuaily coming to America | through various European countries. | It was stated in the Federal Reserve Bulletin for June,| 1921, that the director of the Swedish mint had recently esti-| mated that seventy tons of Russian gold were received in Swe-! den since 1920. He was quoted as saying that after refining,| it was re-expnorted, chiefly to the United States, representing an assayed value here of about $40,000,000. The bulletin also France and other channels, | The movement of gold from Russia to the United States is| not definitely traceable. It is thought to have come to this| country indirectly through various continental countries in addi- tion to those mentioned above. At the outbreak of the war in| 1914 the Russia State bank held $779,750,000 in gold; by the | in the bank, the stock had dwindled to $633,000,000. It has been reported that this balance has since been largely dispersed | and the amount remaining is unknown, but is thought to be| small. It appears, therefore, that the United States received, be- tween January 1 and July 10, the eduivalent of $106,599,000 of African and Indian gold by way of London and the equiva- lent of more than $100,000,000 of Russian gold by way of Con-| tinental Europe. These three chief sources account for the fact| that Europe as a whole has been able to make substantial gold | payments to the United States without further impairing her existing centralized gold stocks. iy, s MR. DAUGHERTY’S AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATICN ADDRESS Attorney-General Daugherty’s address on the subj law enforcement delivered before the American Bar a in Cincinnati last week will put new heart into the fore batting the agencies intent upon nullifying the Bighteenth Amendment. His whole address was a ringing appeal for in-| the inevitable ruin that befalls the nation where contempt for| law is tolerated. | In these days of organized resistance to enforcement of the prohibition law a discussion..of his subject, “Disrespect for Law,” could not well have ignored the prohibition enforcement issue. However, the interests promoting the traflic in illicit liquors and their friends no doubt feel that the attorney general| gave this phase of his subject more attention than the oce demanded. On the other hand, every 100 per cent Ame itizen will feel grateful to Attorney-Gneral Daugherty for h fearless stand in defense' of the enforcement of a law that ig| perhaps being more fiercely attacKed than any other federal| law on the statute books. | He did not shy at any of the various phases of the issue. The attitude of the supposedly good citizen who condones the{ violations of the dry law by others came in for the same censure| as was given the violators themselves. This will not be pleas-| ing, of course, to certain prominent citizens who at least by im- plication are encouraging infractions of the prohibition law on the specious plea that it is an assault upon personal liberty. In fact, the attorney general handled without gloves the p mal liberty argument and the argument that the minority is not bound to respect a law imposed upon it by the majority. It is the Constitution that safeguards the rights of the individual| and the minority—the very instrument which is being assailed Dby these pleaders for booze. Mr. Daugherty concedes the right of citizens to seek relief from a law to which they are opposed through the legislative department of government, but insists that as long as the law is in force it is the duty of every citizen to .obey it, But those most active in the repeal of the prohibition! law are not staying within these bounds. They are attempting| to bring about repeal by a show of lawlessness and unftrtunate- ‘ly their tactics are receiving the indorsement of .some newspa-| ‘pers and prominent citizens. | Mr. Daugherty’s suggestion that “those who do not believe‘f ‘in’our government and the enforcement of our laws should go to! a country which gives them their peculiar libert; meets with / ’the approval of law-abiding citizens.—American Citizen. | " |their old friends. | % said that not less than another $60,000,000 of Russian gold or its i equivalent had found its way to the United States through; end of 1917, the date of the last definite statement of gold held | Tt {when we went to bed; if our breath creased reverence for all law and a solemn warning against I bt TURTLE RIVER x [ EE 2SS RS SR SRS RS 8 Mr. and Mrs. J.
