GOLD AND OTHER METALS
Sir,—Financial experts aid members of Parliament, might throw some light on tho following: " The British Empire and. the United States of America, aie .the two greatest producers' of gold. Silver since 1914 has appreciated over one hundred per cent J copper, lead and iron have likewiso enormously appreciated; gold alone has been penalised. 'Lord Inchcape, 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 but not in the production of gold. Why does not New Zealand mint her own, gold ourrency; '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 three, mints going, and the circulation of New Zealand coins would be a great advertisement. The sooner the extra war taxation is taken off tho production of gold the better.—l am. etc ' NINKUMPOOP. August 19, 1919.
