FULL OF GOLD
POSITION IN UNITED STATES There is still a marked difficulty in obtaining gold currency, in New Zealand and- Australia, but that is not the case in the United States, according to Mr. Arthur C. Davis, of Wellington, who has just returned from a trip to New York. “My first business on getting to San Francisco was to get possession of some American money. I was a little surprised when they asked me at the bank whether I would take what I wanted in gold Indeed, they wanted me to take it in gold; but though gold is nice to look at, paper enrrenev is much easier to travel with; still, I took a little gold just to see what il felt like. “It was the same right through the States. Every bank appeared to have ample stocks’ of bullion, and parted with it just as readily as with paper money. It seemed to Ire another way of saying ‘Who won the war?’ ”
