BY CLINTON COFFIN, Associated Press Financial Writer. French monetary and economic policy is deemed by American governmental observers to be one decisive factor in influencing the present outflow of monetary gold from the United States. Last week's gold shipments from this country apparently exceeded $40,000,- 000, and tentative agreements of the Federal Reserve Bank indicate that heavy gold exports will continue for some indefinite period into the future. ‘Though American gold stocks are in all quarters considered adequate to meet a drain heavier than the woria is likely to impose, the somewhat novel pert that France is playing in the movement has caused considerable aw- tention to be focused on that country's fiscal system. In former years gold ex- port from the United States has been mainly directed to London, and brough! about automaticallv by the existence of higher interest rates abroad than those prevailing in New York. In the present gold movement tne element of higher interest levels abroad than those offered in the United States is present. but there also is, banking | authorities believe. annther very evident factor. That is the policy of the French banking authorities to build up that country’s gold reserves to new hgh points. France now has a mone- tary gold reserve of about $1,400,000,000 and it is estimated that credits its | banks have in centers like New Yorxk, Amsterdam would enabie London_and fair to ordinary quality and condition, | 7521.00: few higher.

France to draw perhaps $1,000,000,000 additional in gold from the world. Washington information is that some large portion of this outstading credit is now in grocesa of being turned into gold brought home to France, thougn it is not likely that all will be sv called in. Purposes behind the policy are also fairly clear. French banking specialists believe their country to be in readiness to reassume its traditional role as an investor in foreign securities on a large | scale, which function has been littie in evidence since 1914. A great gold re- serve would tacilitate foreign financing, and the existing situation in_world money markets facilitates the French endeavor. It seems likely that most of the new stocks will be drawn from the United States. In spite of the fact that American manufacturers of goods going to export are and have been for many years entitled to important draw-back of customs and other taxes, it is official opinion that a good many concerns tail to avail them- selves of the privileges. Treasury de- cisions coming out for the first week of December dealing with new and old ap- plications for tax return under the draw- back provisions indicate, however, that | increasing attention is being paid to its | advantages by business houses. | It is the theory of the draw-back| system, countenanced by both tariff and | internal revenue acts, that the fabricator | of any finished article going to export | ought not to be required to pay import duties on any material actually acquired and included in the finished article. Certain internal revenue taxes are like- wise refundable. There are, of course. formalities to be complied with by a business house seeking to take advantage of the system, in order to insure pro- tection against fraud. To date this fiscal year customs duties aggregating $9,244,000 have been refunded by the Treasury, as draw-back payment in part, though the figure also includes re- payments of customs on re-exports.
