The Scientific Use of Coal In few things is thi.-! country more wasteful than in Us use of cA)a\. Much industry, research, and ingenuity have been devoted to the quest of economi- cal processes tor the sclentlllc utiliza- tion of coal. A variety has been dis- covered, and some of them have been applied on a limited scale. But there have bcftu snags and ditncuUies in- numerable. It is one thing to conduct a successful experiment in a labora- tory: another to float a process as an Industrial and commercial success. It is for the Government to put the mat- ter to the test, and to act swiftly. Ono thing must be secured above all. It Is that coal treatment .shall be regard- ed not as a separate Industry but as part of mining, and Its benefits shared with the miners who have borne ad- versity so long and so patiently.- l^ou- don Dally Herald. Gold Prices and Sterling Soutli .\frlca's depariiire from the gold standard seems likely to have far wider consequences than the mere im- mediate benefits to this eouiUry, and may yet be the deciding factor in the battle for the command of world prices that has been going on since Septem- ber, 1931, between the sterling bloc and the countries remaining on the old gold basis. It means that the Wit- watersraud. the producer of the bulk of the world's raw gold, is now de- manding a higher price for Its product â€" a price more in keeping with the world commodity values.
