RUSSIA PROMISES METAE COINAGE TO MEET SUBSET Ludwig Martens Asserts World Is About to Get Startling Surprise. GOLD AND SILVER AVAILABLE Good Harvest Alone Needed to Put Nation on Sound Basis, He Declares. Editors Note—The following article by Paxton Hibben, an Indianapolis man. prominent in diplomatic circles, reaches Times readers through the United Financial news service. It presents a graphic picture of the situation in Russia, from a source ol unquestioned reliability. By PAXTON HIBBEN j (By Mail to United Financial.) BERLIN, July 20.—Within a year Russia will startle the world by balancing her budget and returning to a metal currency basis. Ludwin C. A. K. Martens, former Russian representative to the United States and Commlsar Sokolnikoff, delegate to the recent Hague conference, whose plan Is to bring about this remarkable recovery, united today in declaring that the soviet government already has mined and ready for minting, enough gold and sliver to cover the gold value of all paper rubles outstanding, approximately $60,000,000, which represents the present Russian market and her requiremente in metal currency. One Good Harvest Needed. "One good harvest will put Russia on a solid financial basis and the phase of paper rubles by the billion will have passed,” Martens said. “Do you mean that all the 30 trillions of paper rubles that have been issued will be redernmed in gold?” he was asked. “Only the gold value of those rubles," Martens replied. "The paper money here as in most European coun tries doesn't even pretend to be based on gold. A country-like Russia that is importing everything and exporting nothing would have to have a Golconda on tap to stand tbe strain and still pay in gold. That is all that prevents Russia, however, from going immediately back to a metal basis — lack of resumption of international trade, making our production balance our needs." "Any time private capital wants to come into Russia and invest, it can, and will be protected and encouraged,” Martens declared emphatically. "We need it. There are several large American properties in Russia working right along with the same American management they had before the war. The International Harvester Company plant near Moscow' is one and the Westinghouse Airbrake Company at Yaroslavi is another." SIP.

By CARL D. GROAT, United Newt Staff Correspondent. BERLIN, July 31.—The German mark crashed today to 2,860 to the pound sterling.
