The action recently taken by the British Parliament in ordering a restoration of the ndard and the re-establishment of London as a free gold market was promptly followed by similar action in the self-governing commonwenlths of the British Empire and by coun tries in Europe that were awalting England's decision. The result is that there are now only three of the larger nations—France, Italy and Rus- | sin—that have still to swing into line in making the gold standard prac tically universal and restoring it to the primary position it occupied be fore the war as an international reg- ulator of money and exchange. London was described by Dr. as the most important of th free gold markets in pre-ws Her position, he as a result the pound sterling attain ed a primary position as a monetary unit among trading nations. “It is not too much to sa added, ‘“that the successful main- tenance and the effective operation of the gold standard in pre-war days was due largely to the skill with which London conducted her banking and monetary affairs in maintalning a free gold market and thus buttressing the gold standard in other gold-using and gold-exchange standard countries.” Sees Better Trade.

With such an undoubted and im- portant interest at stake, Dr. Miller said, the United States ‘clearly has an interest in promoting and assist ng in the re-establishment” of the goid standard in England Will Advance Gold. “And as the largest single holder of the world's stock of monetary gold,” he continued, “we in the United States not only have an interest in the res. toration of the gold standard but a duty to assist in its restoration and maintenance wherever conditions give definite promise of succes It is for this reason that our Federal Reserve Banks have arranged to let the Bank of England have some of their gold should it be needed by the Bank of England in the first stages of Eng- land's resumption of gold payments and the practices of a free gold mar- ket. It does not seem likely at this time that the Bank of England will have much or freequent occasion to draw on our gold supply, but past ex- perience shows that difficulties may be encountered in the early stages of gold resumption, and that it is there- fore inadvisable not to be prepared to meet them. The Bank of England and the Brit- ish government have therefore acted wisely in arranging for American gold credits to be drawn upon in case of need. It was particularly thought ad- visable to have an American credit of impressive amount for the pur- pose of discouraging in advance and beating off and defeating any specu- lative drives that might be made by operators anywhere in the world against sterling exchange, if such drives should be attempted man: H.

One of them, who contrasts the woolen-clad ankles of lSuropean peasants with the silk- covered ones of Piccadilly to the ad- vantage of the latter, even suggests that Weber is secretly allied in sup-| porting Winston Churchill's budget, which places heavy duties on all kinds of silk. There is some hope for the expo- ‘nems of the newer modes, however, in Dr. Weber's statement that the old disease of chlords, which, he says, was due largely to tightlacing, has almost disappeared 1n these corsetless days. 16 NURSES WILL GET | DIPLOMAS THURSDAY | Commencement Exercises for Georgetown Hospital to Be Held at Gaston Hall.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.—Henry L. and Allle L. Gwyn, brothers, were rebuked in common pleas court here today for refusing to permit their father's body to be interred in the family burial lot at Nashville, Tenn., the former home of the parent. They were summoned into court on injunction proceedings brought by their sister, Mrs. Annie G. Bovd, Philadelphia. The brothers’ refusal, it was brought out in testimony, was based on bitterness engendered by their struggles with life after their father left them and their mother 17 vears ago. The mother, who obtained a divorce after the desertion, joined the daughter in asking that the body be buried in the family plot. Judge James (3. Gordon, jr., after stating that the case was one which shouid be settled out of court, deferred decision until Monday. Gwyn arrived here last September, after wandering more than a decade, became il and died three months later. His body is in a receiving vault of a local cemetery. in Snow Ends Forest Fires.
