Elm Street Phone 385-0426 Capltoi Report The present Congress is confronted with more schemes for tinkering with our money than have occurred since 1862,- The Congressional action which produced "greenbacks" at that time may be limited in the 89th Congress which is now convened in Washington. First on the agenda of money tinkering bills is a plan to reduce the gold reserve requirements for our currency. Presentstatutes require that Federal Reserve deposits and notes in circulation should be represented by (;old reserves in the Treasury equal to 25 per cent of these amounts. However, our adverse balance of payments position has reduced gold reserves to a point where barely enough remains to take care of the dollar credits held by foreign governments. Claims based on these foreign credits could not be repudiated.! In-^ stead, the claims of American citizens to gold in exchange for U. S. currency would be abrogated. Of course, since 1933 this privilege has been theoretical rather than actual. Accordingly, if the gold reserve requirement is .eliminated or reduced, the change may affect American citizens only in theory. Still, if the gold is eliminated entirely ,< instead of being reduced from 25 percent to, say, 15 percent), the dollar might diminish materially in value. Another effort to tinker with our money arises from the current shortage of silver. The reduced supplies suggest 'that the price of silver will soon rise above $1.38 per ounce. At that time it would be profitable to melt down our dimes, quarters and half dollars order to obtain the §ilvef Which such coins contain. The,need to reduce the silver content of such coins is apparent. However, any plan which would eliminate ail silver from these coins would convert our "valuable" money into "token"- money of little or no intrinsic value. Coupled>, \yith this aspect is the threat to the vending, machine industry which depends upon a substantial silver coptent in these coins (dimes and quarters particularly) in order for the vending ,machines to operate effectively. :/< , The most serious tinkering with our money is threatened in decent reports emanating from the Banking and Currency Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. These reports recommend that 'the Federa! Reserve System be stripped of its control over the supply of money - and the related authority which it, exercises over interest rates. Instead, the reports suggest that increased authority over these subjects should be vested in the Congress and the President. The dangers inherent in such a policy are obvious. The temptation for Congxess and the President to expand the supply of money in an effort to legislate wealth and prosperity • , • v * /M Section One -r Page WQuLfli jSeem to ;be irr< The requiting inflation; and s traction of the value of out1 money would be well nigh inevitable. The alleged mysteries of mc netary policies and values ar^ apt to discourage careful at tentiort to these subjects by the average American. Still, the average American and his Rep1 resent atives in the Congress are faced with some very real and imminent threats to their pocketbooks. The veil of mystery should be Removed as these threats are met in the halls of Congress. John Stilling of 3219 W. Golf View Road, McHenry, suffered a blood clot in the leg Monday and was taken to Hines hospital. OUR LEASE HAS EXPIRED!
