Many people in the gold camps were greatly couraged by the announcement recently coming from Washington that plans for world financing after the war were based on the idea of gold as the standard for international trade and finance. Gold stocks found increased popularity on the stock market, and in the gold camps there was a revival of the idea that after the war the gold camps would renew their prosperity and progress. As usual the announcement was hailed as someâ€" thing new and startling, and as usual there seemed to be popular acceptance of the plan as a novel proposal. Like others of the "new orders" proâ€" posed by the various conflicting systems of life publicized these days, the proposal to have gold as the standard has nothing new or novel about it. Gold, for centuries, has been the standard for exchange among the nations. Some medium is necessary and nothing else has shown the virtues ascribed to gold. It is well to remember than 'much of the recent agitation against gold was started in enemy countries as propaganda, though !' it should also be remembered that the Axis nations made the most desperate efforts to secure all the gold they could possibly secure. The fury of the Germans when Poland, France, Belgium, Holland and other countriecs were found to have moved all or part of their supplies of gold beyond the reach of the Axis nations was a much better indiâ€" 1( se DO il will in d lI thai 11 oubt bu it 1 1| 16w being perfected.

Possibly the best illustra«â€" tion of this truth is in the matter of fuel. Fuel this winter has cost the people much more than any ceiling price indicates, for the quality in many cases is so poor that much more fuel is necessary to produce the same amount of heat available from quality fuel.
