GOLD AND OTHER METALS
Sir,—Financial experts and members Parliament might throw some light on the following: The British Empire and the United States of. America are the two greatest producers of gold. Silver since 1914 has appreciated over one hundred per cent, j copper, lead and iron have likewise enormously appreciated; gold alone has been penalised. Lord luchcape, who is a great financial authority, is of opinion that gold must not be allowed to appreciate. Lord Inchcape is interested in shipping and such like enterprises, but not in the production of gold. Why does not .New Zealand mint her own gold currency; also silver and copper, with a nickel threepenny piece for local requirements?. The silver threepenny piece is too small. Australia finds it a paying concern. They have two, if not tlireo, smnto going, and the circulation'of New Zealand coins would be a great advertisement. The sooner the extra war taxation is taken off the production oS gold the better.—l am* etc., * NINKTTMPOOP. August 19, 1919. -
