Banker Says Good Will of America Is Necessary If Britain Is to Retain Currency Parity. Correspondence of The Associated Press. LONDON, February ~The estab- lishment and maintenance of the gold standard in this country is largely de- pendent on the good will of opinion in the United States, sald Walter Leaf, chairman of the Westminster Bank, at the annual meeting of that instl- tution " he said, “that rived at parity we can at once remove the embargo on the export of gold. This is due to expire at the end of 1925 and one may v at least confidently hope that it will not be renewed. Indeed, it is not at all improbable that before the end of the year we may see a flow of gold back to Europe, and that the question of export may for the time being be of purely academic interest “But it will be necessary to look forward and assure ourselves that we have the power to keep the gold when it comes to us. There is no doubt that we are at present somewhat danger- ously dependent on the current of opinion in the United States, and it is necessary to be assured of their good will in maintaining as well as in establishing the gold standard on this de of the Atlantic. “One begins to wonder whether the time may not have arrived for that conference of national banks of issue, for the formulation of a scheme of operation in regard to gold reserve. which was called or by the Genoa conference.’ $1,000.00 PRIZE Cross-Word Puzzle IE2 s |7 3 15 _ HORIZONTAL 1.

Bennett, attorney, of this city, who has just returned from a six-week hunting and archaeological explor- ation trip In Quintana Roo and Yu- catan. This “mill” Is the beautiful city of Merida, capital of Yucatan, Capt. Ben- nett says, reporting that as many as 50 American coupled come from the United States each month to have their marital bonds struck off over night. Under the odd divorce laws, Capt Benrett reports, couples from the States have no difficulty in obtalning a divorce within 24 hours. Contracts Are Presented. As described by Capt. Bennett, who says he was also there about 33 years ago, the caplital of Yucatan is now a strange mixture of the aboriginal and the modern, with a reputation for be- Ing a clean and beautiful city, with street cars run by gasoline motors, ‘with modern methods in effect in many phases of life; education, enter- tainment, theaters and American mo- tion pictures, but with & suspicion of banking so ingrained that people carry their money about In little bags, and many go armed with guns con- {tinually to protect their possessions. { Not long before he was there, Capt | Bennett sald he was told violence had been common, and one day the populace awoke to find four men hanging from a limb of a tree in the | plaza. It was In 1916, according fo | the captain, that the great bank | trouble took place, when Alvarado, | the “bandit” swooped down on the “Banco Peninsular,” a French institu- tion, and took out the equivalent of one and a half million dollars in gold Government Seen Tottering. “The Bolshevik government” Yucatan, however, which Capt. Ben nett sald had been playing “havoc with the sisal industry was reported | as “blowing up.” Leading citizens of ida told him, the captain said, | hat the governmental meddling In | private business is rapidly drawing | to a close.” Before he left, Capt. _Bennett PATUXENT BEACH —on the Patuzent River.
