Less work was required to

Gold Situation
Very Serious
We have not seen a-gold coin
in -years, have not owned one
since 1933 and probably will not
In our lifetime have the privi-
lege of such ownership. It was
the judgment of official Wash-
ington in 1633 that residents of
the United States could not be
trusted with the possession of
this metal as a medium of ex-
change. A law was passed re-
quiring that all privately-owned
coins and currency redeemable
In gold be surrendered.
It looked for a time that we
(our Government) had Just about
cornered, the free world's,
supply. Frequent stories about
the gold hoard at Ft. Knox,
Kentucky, and other points
doubtless created the Impress-
ion among quite a large seg-
ment of the population that our
position with respect to this
bask Ingredient of wealth had
become Impregnable. While we
Americans were forbidden to
own gold, foreigners had access
to this metal and have been
steadily accumulating It along
with claims until the situation
as of today can be stated very
briefly, to-wlt:
Gold on hand, $15.7 billions;
amount required by law to back
our currency, $12.2 billions;
•‘free” gold balance, $3.5 bill-
ions; Foreign claims against
this balance, $20.5 billions;
claims of International ag-
encies, $4.6 billions; Outsiders
hold the equivalent of certified
checks totaling $25.4 billions
against our gold supply of $15.7
billions; or $6.7 billions more
than we could pay if they should
demand payment.
We are In this unhappy peri-
lous position as a result of
balance - of - payment deficits
occasioned by the gigantic for-
eign aid program and overseas
military commitments of the
last 15 years. Responsibility
for our plight rests with offi-
cial Washington, where caution
and prudence seem to have been
disregarded. Last week the
President outlined a program
for dealing with the very dan-
gerous situation confronting the
United States, but his approach
failed to strike at the heart
of the problem.
Further Erosion
Is Inevitable
The cost-of-living Index dur-
ing the last 12 months has been
stable, not because the advo-
cates of cheap dollars consent -
vast surpluses of commodities
and excess producing capacity
in Industry, creating pressures
and competitive conditions
which prevented price In-
creases except In limited cate-
gories. Authorities are in
agreement that the lid probably
will not be held so tightly dur-
ing the coming year, which
means further erosion of the
purchasing power of the dollar,
now down to 76.8$ as compared
to the par value established for
the 1947-46 period, which was a
reevaluation of our money as
calculated In the Indices of
1936. The decline In 24 years
has been 54.4 percent.
Among those who have sus-
tained the greatest Individual
losses through the declining
value i of the dollar since 1936
have been the millions of pur-
chasers of Savings Bonds who
have held these securities. In-
terest accrued has not been
sufficient by a wide margin to
offset the drop In purchasing
power of our money. Their loss-
es through ownership In the
safest Investment In the world
has amounted to billions of
dollars. It Is Ironic that the Gov-
ernment which could guarantee
the principal and Interest
these bonds has been unable to
