British Begin Circulating
Their Hoarded Sovereigns
LONDON, Mar. 2.—Recent reports
that the British government had
started minting sovereigns, as a step
toward returning to the gold stand
ard, has had a tendency to bring out
some of the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000
gold pieces which bankers have cal
culated were being hoarded by peo
ple who had held them since sover
| eigns were withdrawn from circula
tion early in the war. The rumor
that sovereigns were being coined
was promptly denied by the govern
ment, but even after that the gold
pieces continued to be brought out
of their hiding places and exchanged
for the paper currency at the banks.
The Bank of England particularly
lias been receiving quite a number of
sovereigns every day recently which,
after being exchanged lor paper, are
placed away in the vaults until such
j time as the government sees fit to
' put the gold pieces in general circu
1 lation again. Bankers say the Lon
doner has become entirely accus
tomed to the paper currency and
that it is doubtful whether sovereigns
even after England returns to the
gold basis, will ever be popular
! again.

Foies Plan New Port
to Rival Nearby Danzig
GDINGEN, Poland, Mar. 2.—Polish
| interests, with the assistance of
' French capital, are planning a fine
! future for this port on the Baltic.
I Polish shipping is to be centered
| here, according to the plans, avoiding
; Danzig, and freight will reach War
i saw and other Polish cities over Pol
! ish controlled railroads.
I Gdingen, however, is not a natural
I harbor, so there is much dredging to
I be done, and breakwaters will have
to be built before the harbor is safe
! in all weathers.
The decision to develop Gdingen
I conies as a result of the constant
| conflicts ^between the Polish author
. ities and the free city of Danzig.
I The Poles aver that their republic
| is being strangled by Danzig, thru
I hostility and high charges, and that
| they must have a port of their own,
I even if its development is difficult
: and comes slowly.
Danzig is not particularly disturb
| ed. It doubts if Gdingen, 15 miles
j away, ever will become a serious
competitor, for Danzfg has been a
great port for 500 years, has land
locked waterways and extensive dock
ing and warehouse facilities.
