Golden Era For World "LONE E" Forecasted By Noted Economis If World Covernments Act Now--Advises International Parley--Otherwise London.--In a copyrighted exclusive fnterview with the Associated Press, Sir George Paish, noted British econo- mist, declared on December 19th, if world governments take the proper fork, the greatest era of prosperity in history is just down the road. On the other hand, he expressed the view that if they continue on their present course, the international eco- nomic and credit fabric will go to smash within two months, Continuing, he outlined to the Asso- ciated Press, the following steps, which he believes should be taken to assure the one and avert the other. They were: 1--An international conference to consider rehabilitation measures, 2--Revision of Germany's repara- tions payments to insure eventual re- payment of her commercial debts. 3--Federal and state temporary bank guaranty acts in all nations, Credit Breakdown Feared "I haven't any doubt but that we are going into the greatest period of prosperity the world has ever seen," he said, "if necessary measures are taken. I'm sure that there are enough 'reasonable people in the world to see that these measures are taken, and t by 1933 we will see a very differ- uation. .8.

World Should Stand Behind Banks | "Internal credit corporations in the United States help out," he continued, "but they don't meet the situation. They are to enable institutions to rea- lize on their good assets and for get- ting money, but they are not for the purpose of making good losses, It is the losses, not the lack of liquidity, that threatens stability. "I am thinking not of America only, biit of the banks of all countries. The governments of the world should stand behind the banks to prevent the ma. chinery from breaking down." He cited the French Government's back- ing of the Bank of France as an ex- ample. {| As hopeful signs on the horizon, he | sald Russia and Asia were awakening and demanding a higher standard of living, for which the material re- sources of the western world would be enlisted to play a great role. BE Publisher Opens Penny Cafeteria New York, N.Y.--Bernard MacFad+ den, publisher, announces he intends to establish the first penny restaurant ever operated in New York, as a meas- ure of relief for those in need. The dining institution, he sald, will be run as a cafeteria, with each article of food costing one cent and a five-course meal for a nickel. MacFadden said that the only rea- son why any charge whatever is be- ing made for the food served in the | restaurant is because he does not wish 'those who are to be served to feel fat they are receiving charity. The food to be served will consist of soup, one cent; bread, one cent; coffee, one cent; and various vegetables at one "cent per portion, ; The new restaurant will be estab- lished in the downtown ' section of | Manhattan, and will have a seating per- ! capacity of about fifteen hundred stated. ray approximately 85 per cent. of Canada's gold 'production, Alluvial gold 'mines, recoveries from blister copper and basic' bullion produced from Canadian ores by Canadian smelters, and esti- mated recoveries from ores, matte,| slags and concentrates exported to foreign smelters, make up the remain- der of the total. mn en Ap en British Broadcasting Company To Curtail Programs London.--The British Broadcasting on books, plays and films, After the New Year no reviews or criticisms will be broadcast and individual books,' plays or films will be referred to only: incidentally in talks on literature and the drama.
