great was the demand fo r this coin
machine that early in 1929 the
Specialty Manufacturing Company
was compelled to seek larger quar­
ters and increase their production.

Nations to Stem
Floods of
Fake Money
With the established fact before
them that $1,000,000 in false money
is being seized every year as an in­
dication o f how much is being put in
circulation, delegates o f thirty-five
nations met in Geneva on April 9 in
a diplomatic conference to adopt a
convention for the suppression o f
counterfeit currency. They inclue five
non-leaguer countries — Ecuador,
Brazil, Turkey, Russia and the
United States, the latter being repre­
sented by Hugh R. Wilson. Minister
at Berne, with the C on su l at. Geneva,
Elbridge D. Hand, as alternate, and
William H. Moran, Chief o f the Sec­
ret Service, as expert.
A
ge
Counterfeiting, far from fading
into oblivion with the Nick Carter
tales, was represented as a growing
menace by I)r. Vilem Pospisil, the
Czech president o f the conference, in
his opening speech.
Pointing out
that technical progress in modem
times also serves criminals, he em­
phasized that the League’s investiga­
tions showed that since the war “ the
more extensive use o f banknotes, the
facility with which the currency o f
one country can be changed in other
countries and the difficulty fo r the
public o f testing the genuineness o f
foreign currency, are circumstances
which have encouraged criminals to
extend
their
sphere
of
action
by
creating organizations with ramifi­
cations in a number o f countries.”
