Business spotlight

By FORBES IIIIUDE (Canadian Press Business Editor)

Will gold some day be given a higher value than its present 335 an ounce (U. 6.)?

The question becomes lively ev- ery once in a while. dies down and then comes up again. But it is never for 1mm tho thoughts of people who own shares in Canadian gold mines.

The answer would seem to lie in the extent to which gold will con- tinue to be used as a. yardstick for measuring the value of world cur- rencles.

We are not on a gold standard in a pre-1914 sense. our govern- ments iaaua as much money as is needed to carry on the business of the ommtry. when we come to buy from mother country. however, we settle either with goods. or with solid. or with currencies which are freely convertible into gold.

so a gold standard of sorts still

operates. no practical operation can be soon In Britain's curt.all.ment of purchases until her gold reserves are higher. However. in the great. activity of t 9 last: -war and the years since, we have become accustomed to oper- ating both nationally and interns- tionally in sums of money uncircum- cd of in real gold-standu-d days.

And when we try to operate our gold standard of sorts amidst. this increased money. it can be and is argued that there isn't. enough gold unless it is given a. higher value. There have been some interesting recent comments in regard to all this from Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer. Hugh Galtskell. from The Times of London, and from the Economic Record. issued by the United Kingdom informa- tion office in Ottawa.

Says the Iiloonomlc Rccord:

"It is interesting that. although virtually only Switzerland and the United States have a currency free- ly ccnvortlble into gold. and that in many minds the gold standard is a thing of the past. gold still re- mains the only generally-acceptable international means of payment outside the ruble bloc. If. there- fore. an increase in world trade is desired. some means must be found of increasing the world's stccks of monetary gold. or iiltematlvely.

making the existing stocks work more satlsfaotnrlly." Speaking in London. Mr Gait-

skell said that Britain's gold re- serves are too low. measured hy pre- war needs. and added that in terms of relative prices of goods the normal pro-war proportion of reserves to total sterling-cldilar turnover was two or three times as high as the proportion today.

The Economic Record comments:

"As the United Kingdom's gold reserves where. in l937. just over 34.000.000.000. a logical extension of Mr. Gait.skell's argument would he that the United Kingdom needs about 310.000.000.000 today as com- pared with her actual 32.755.000.000 " And the Times of London had- this continent:

"Mr. Gaitskell's line of thought is suggestive. For on his analogy assuming the same sort of ratio is pro-war needs. the United states now needs 335.000.000.000. whereas in fact she has only about 024.000.- 000.000. and the rest of the world need some 523.000.000.000 almost. four times as much as the present fizure. . .

"Allowing for the normal sup- ply of gold to non-nonetary uses

it would take the world's gold output considerably more than half a century to bring up the world's

price of gold, tn this figure. and hv that time. no doubt, the monetary value of the world's trade turnov- er would probably have doubled ag- sin.

"In fact. there is only one way in which Mr. Gsit.skell's implied reqiilremnt. could be niet.- a univ- ersal devaluation increasing the price of gold in all countries by over 100 per cent . , .

"Nonetheless. Mr. Galtskell was ai-ring ll problem which many. people have stressed spasmodlcal- ly over the last five years: meas- ured by pre-war cannons there is an entirely inadequate amount of monetary gold in the world to serve at present currency prices as the basis for restoring anything like ll. free lnlernatlniial trading and exchange system." The Times adds;

"It might. be etatesmaiiltke to plan ahead for two separate stag- es respectively of redistribution and revaluation of gold."

1!. is difficult to say whether these cominents from Mr. Gail.- skcll, The Times and the econo- mic record are entirely good for gold. on their face they would good, and probably are if it is seem to be good. and probably are if it is found that a solution to the problems raised can be found through gold.

If, on the other hand it should be found that. gold canriot. give the solution. then in the long run gold might lose a lot of its place in the world.

At the moment. however, the re- gard for gold is so bred into the human family that any departure from it as a measuring stick is likely in he slow; even as our de-

partures to data have been slow and under stress. The line of (iisi'ii.sslniis cited

'In my reviews of "The Case of Comrade Tulayev.” by Victor serge. the name of the publish- ' crs, Doubleday, was omitted. Please remember that Doubleday Publish- ers are responsible for this fine and unusual novel translated from the French. BLAZE Oi" NOON by Joann Beattle; Rzyerson Press; 9.50.

This fine novel won the 1960 Ryci-son Press All-Canada Fic- tion Award and is a very honest and competent piece or work. The author is a native of St. Cather- lnes, Ontario, and young. She has had. however. considerable ex- perience in newspaper work and the reader soon notices the terse Journalistic narration. colorful enough but without much literary style. It is easy to read and writ.- ten as though the author knew exactly what she wanted to say. There is no evident fumbling for

words or phrases so often found in first novels. The book is timely. It is real-

ly an attempt to put the claims of communLsim and democracy un- der the lens of a microscope, and to decide the false and true. The analysis is sincere and certainly provokes thought. I doubt that any more mature writer in Can- ada today could have handled the subject better. Yet. in the doing' the story was not. neglected in the slightest. It is told with more

than ordinary skill and breezes along at a nice pace. unhamper- & ed hy any stops or slowdowns for phllosopliy.
