Because of Its importance as a i money basis in major countries of the world, the gold question has j excited much comment in banking quarters. Currency of several conn i tries has been impaired by dwind- I ling gold reserve*. Two Opinions One school of thought claims that I if there was enough gold in the l world to finance the greatest stock market boom in history, there certainly is enough to finance legitimate business now with credit values deflated as much us 75 per cent. On the other hand, equally responsible economists point to prospects of a gradual decline in production of the metal and say that if the supply of the metal is only sufficient now, it will not be in the future provided business continues to increase in scope. Many countries now are suffering from a lack of gold, which they could use for a base to expand their credit facilities. This country and France have more (lian enough for their current needs, about do per cent of the j world's metal now being in the v atiltm of the Bank of France and i the Federal Reserve system. These gains appear to be at the center of ' the present controversy. Deeper l causes than mere greed account for i the largo accumulation. The last three years have seen gains in gold 1 holdings by United States. France, I Belgium, Sweden and Switzerland,] ami losses by the South American | countries. Japan and Australia.

After dipping to 15,407,223 ounces in 1922, output increased nearly 25 per cent to 20,191,478 ounces in 1930. Production for the current year was slightly in excess of the 1930 figures. o Farmer Traps 801 l Weevils Searcy, Ark., — (UP)-fl simple homemade trap for boll weevils Is keeping the fields of Don Johnson farmer living near here, free of the pests.

SOVIET CAPITAL FOUND IN MUCH LIGHTER MOOD 11 t Additional Buoyancy | Traced to Increased Food Supply Editor's note: This Is the first of : a series dealing with the basic facta 1 of life under the Soviets and the | changes in the Russian scene In recent months. United Press Associations. By Eugene Lyons United Press Staff Cot respondent Moscow, —(UP)— A somewlia' x more buoyant and cheerful state of mind is manifest in the Soviet rapltal. This is the writer's first impression upon returning here af’er an absence of four months. The actual rations remain as limited and as uncertain as in the past. But 'he possibilities for supplementing them with purchases in the "free market" both private and official, are greatly enlarged. The mere sight of scores of new government shops, fairly well stocked with canned goods, sausages, smoked fish and other items whose rarity has , turned them Into coveted luxuries, adds a touch of “prosperity." Prices Steep Prices are so steep as to make)] these goods prohibitive for the 111a- j' jor portion of the population, which accordingly nicknames the new j stores "museums.” Nevertheless i they permit an occasional splurge ] ! operate to force down somewhat ! the even steeper pi Ices in the pri- i ‘vate stalls, and fatten life for the i higher-paid specialists and mechanics. | The same situation holds true for i the essentials of wearing apparel, from time to time to anyone who has the price and the courage to i buck the swarming pushing crowds of buyers and spectators. To a newcomer the people seem shockingly ill-clad. But to one who has watched the scene so ryears a substantial improvement Is discernable. I WaVVges have remained at their , low levels, despite sharp rises In , prices even on some of the doled goods. On the other hand, the labor shortage has drawn all the adult members of families, men and women alike into regular employment. Aggregate incomes of families are therefore generally higher, in thousands of instances doubled or tripled. Expensive indulgences — an occasional pound of caviar, smoked salmon or sausage are thus within their reach. Rejuvenates Social Life The effect upon social life will be rejuvenating. The cost of alcoholic drinks has mounted to dizzy heights seven rubles for a bottle of vodka which sold $1.50 last year, for example—hut the supply is amide: Causaslan and Crimean wines, champagnes, cherry brandy, imitation French ltquers. Besides, the advent of warm weather in itself has dissipated some of the gloom which blanketed the capital whe tithe writer departed last February. The Piatlletka or Five-Year-Plan, for all Its grim insistence upon speed and sacrifice, has not < put a damper on spring. The fuel' shortage, which kept the population half frozen and miserable, tfas been automatically solved. Summer parks are overcrowded, their soft drink pavilions, vaudeville shows and clr- j | coses doing a noisy business. Beer I cellars rarely have a vacant seat. In the long white nights the sound lof accordions floats through the I green, boulevards that circle MosI cow In two wide concentric rings. , Yotli sings and plays and flirts, sotIgetful of the Piatlletka and disdain- ! ful of the radio horns which blah i unintelligibly In the public squves. Red soldiers with their arms around h servant girls make marvelous econo t; mies of space, sometimes three | couples on a single bench, with M room to spare.

Not withstanding physical hard- | ships and ceaseless political dicta .1 tion from above, the horizons of ex !] 'stenee have broadened out for the !< majority of Russians.

FRENCH FIGHT FILM MONOPOLY Paris, —(UP) —French film producers and theater owners have risen In wrath against a scheme for a state film monopoly with studios and theaters operated and built by the government, plan advanced by Charles Delae, president of the ; French Cinema Chambre Syndicate, father also of the unpopular flint Iconttngentlng law which was finally killed. France him but 1,200 moving picture theaters. French producers are limited In the cost of their productions by the fact that they must a mortize their films by 300 rentals at-most, with little possibility of ex i porting French language films.

The scheme was really designed to strengthen the French film Industry by increasing Its domestic market, permitting it eventually to compete with American fllntß which still dominate despite the German effort to capture the trade and the government’s film llceaetng law. One of the American nrms which opened studios In the Jninville colony, the Hollywood of Paris, ha* oreated a training school for film actors and actresses to meet the demand for trained personnel.
