The new President’s staff will have to learn further that Von Hindenburg | nsists upon, giving a personal touch to communi¢ations submitted for his signature. It is known that he often recast messages at army headquarters T the communications were in a stilt- ed formal style. During the reecent campaign the President-elect’s mana zer of publications, Dr. Schulze-Pfal er, found to his evident surprise that from signing anything handed to . the field marshal not only made changes, but frequently entirely re. drafted the documents. The salary and allowance for the German President is entirely inade- quate, contends Baroness Louise von Reibnitz-Makzan, prominent Berlin social leader, who observed today in Korrespondenz Der Gesellschaft: “One of the first duties of the Reic tag is to vote the head of the nation funds in keeping with the dignity of the office. Aside from the executive mansion, with its complete household, heat, lighting and servants, which wre furnished by the state, the Pres ent has only 50,000 marks at his dis. posal.

PARIS, April 30.—The Petit Parisien says Poland has decided not to ask for the outstanding portion of the 400,000,000 franc loan which Irance agreed to advance her a year agn January for the needs of national de- fense, in view of the fact that the Polish finances are now on a sound basis and the budget balanced. Dr. Airred Champowski, th> Tolish Ambassador here, the paper adds, has informed the foreign office of this decision, which is deeply appreciated by_the French government. When the loan was arranged the Polish financlal situation was uncer- tain, but since that cime, owing to the willingness of the people to ac- cept a heavy tax purden, together| with the institution of a bank of is- sue and the creation of the new zloty | gold. currency, the country's finances| have become almost flourishiny, in- spiring such confidence abroad that the Warsaw government was able to obtain credit in the United States for consolidation of the Polish debt. Under the circumstance, the paper concludes, the Warsaw cabinet felt that it ought to relieve France, strug- gling with her own increasing finan- cial difficulties, of the obligation of completing the terms of the contract.

STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, BRITISH REVERSION T0GOLD ACCLAIMED Agreement With U. S. Makes Nations Financiers to World. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. American _financiers. official and otherwise, freely acclaim the Anglo- American gold transaction, just an- nounced by the British chancellor of the exchequer, as the most momentous international “deal” since the accept ance of the Dawes plan. Its conse quences will make themselves felt throughout the world and for many months to come. Great Britain, of the gold standard restoration of pound s Iing parity, is the immediate beneficiary. But the United States is a direct gainer, too. The principal advantage to us i3 that a method is at length devised for re- ducing our so-called “glut of gold.” The Treasury holds about $5,000,000. 000 in gold, which represents between 40 and 50 per cent of the world's total gold supply. American bankers and economists long have regarded this hoard a genuine embarrassment of riches. How to prevent our gold from ‘choking” America into a financlal paroxysm threatened some day to be come A ! problem. The plan. now made pubiie, to establish $200,000,000 in gold banking credits for Great Brit un is @ substantial tsep toward solu tion of that problem through resumption and practical London Regains Po n. Tt is possible to disclose the inside {are semi-official history of the epoch-making negotia tions which practically league the Unlted States and Great Britain in an entente for joint fulfillment of inter- national financial requirements. The war converted New York into the world’s money center, that supremacy baving been wrested from. London, which held it for centuries. London has been making steady strides to- ward recovering its historic financial eminence. By the gold transaction just effected, it is restored to a posi tion at least approximating equali with New York That was one the goals the British were anxious to attain when they began negotiations in Ame a at t end of last vear. vas to conduct those 3 tions that Montagu C. Norman, gov ernor of the Bank of England. paid bis mysterious visit to New York in January, 1925. His purpose was to confer with Benjamin Strong, gov ernor of the deral Reserve Bank ir New York, regarding sterling ex change and corelated questions, Mr Norman's business was closely guar ed For a long time it was thought o concern some readjustment of the Eritish debt-funding &cheme. Messrs. Norman and Strong dealt as private bankers. and not as government offi cials, although both of their banks institutions dealings were marked by informality and absence of red They have achieved one of the most far-reaching economic agree ments in International history with exchanging anything except ordi nary bank letters. 1In that respeet as in others, the resultant tion is unique . Acting with the approvar, though not at the instruction of the Federal Reserve Board of Washington, Mr. Strong offered the co-operation of the New York Federal Reserva Bank in maintaining the British gold stand- ard, if the latter were re-established, and if such co-operation should be- come neces: It was represented to the governor of the Bank of Eng land that American financial authori ties believed it would be safe for Lon don again to become ““free gold market as soon as the pound sterling resumed parity. New York in effect, said to London that it would not be ‘well for British gold to be “raided” after restoration of the gold standard, and to prevent such a calamity New York proffered u This aid, the Bank England’s representative was Informed, would be rendered by placing American gold, up to an agreed amount, at the disposal of the British titution This was to be accomplished not in the form of a gold loan, but of gold credits, or actual shipments of gold from New York to Lonodon, if and as required. Thus, while = helping Britain, America saw a means of helping itself. Gold Supply Is Burden. Federal Reserve Board has consistently been educating the pub- lic and the banking community to understand that our $5,000,000,000 of £old has become a burdensome treas- ure. It has been made plain that this gold must, in some form or other, gradually be diverted to some of its original holders. The offer to Great Britain provided for the d. sired outward flow. It is not easy for the average per- son to grasp the technical details of the big gold bargain which Uncle Sam and John Bull have just struck. Its true inwardness can be under- stood—namely, that the world’s two richest nations are now linked in an unofficial pact based on mutual in- terest. There will henceforward be a species of co-operation between Wall Street and Threadneedle Street of unprecedented intimacy. The gold standard is now advertised to the world as a currency system behind which the “almighty dollar” and the “sovereign pound” stand shoulder to shoulder. In a way. New ,York is now only returning a favor London before the war often did the Ameri- can metropolis. On numerous occa- sions prior to 1914, when incon- veniently large shipments of gold from the United States would other- wise have been necessary, they were prevented by the granting of tempo: rary American credit facilities in London. Holland, promptly following the ex- ample of Great Britain, announces her retarn to the gold standard. Three or four of the other smaller European nations probably will de llkewise. Thus the Anglo-American gold entente is destined to be an eco- nomic stablilizing influence of world- wide dimensions. (Copyright, s as ity M. & M.

RAIN HALTS MANY -~ INGOLF TOURNEY Less Than Half of Scheduled Field Ventures Out at In- dian Spring. The penetrating rain blown on the wings of a northeast wind combined today to keep high the scores in the qualifying round of the Indian Spring Cluly pif tournament half the field who were scheduled to play actually started. Many of the entrants came to the club, looked over the weather and decided that an | afternoon under cover was preferable to three hours of the chilling rain W. J. Cox of Rock Creek Park turned in the lowest card of the morn ing with a score of 84. The card of Cox was the only one under 90, Paul J. Frizzell and J. B. Dulin being tied at the latter figure. Brook V. Beyer of Indlan Spring had 93; O. J. De Moll of Columbia had 96 and W. E. Kerry jr. of Bannockburn had 100. Sev eral of the leading players bout Washington, including the Diss jchamplon, are scheduled to start this afternoon Chilly Blasts Ruin Games. Chilly blasts from the general di rection of the North Pole set down a number of ambitious golfers who might otherwise have made good scores in the first half of the quali fying round yesterday. Breezing over the flat expanse of the course and gathering momentum as it struck the treeless stretches, a cold northeast wind cut down distance and made all the scores of yesterday jump up into high figures. Of the 110 men who started, only one, a schoolboy, was under 80, even though many of the best golfers about Washington took a fling at the long India pring layout. John C. Shorey of Central High School, the 18.year-old East Potomac Park title holder, was the lone player to break 80, and he shattered the mark by only a stroke, while two shots back of him at 81 came Walter R. Tuckerman Burning Tree and C. Ashmeud Fuller of Chevy Chase. The others were strung all along the line up to 109, among those who turned in cards, and more than 30 failed to re turn thelr scores.
