Two Bills About j
Sale Of Gold [
—
Senator Charles D. Jones is in
receipt of two interesting bills be- j
fore Congress concerning the sale
of gold in the United States.
Senate Bill 13 would permit the
buying, holding, selling or trading
on the open market within the
United States any gold mined in
the United States or its Territo
ries. It would also be permitted to
be exported without the imposi
tion of duties or other restrictions, i
The Bill also includes the impor
tation of gold into the United;
States for sale, to be held or,
bought upon the open market j
within the United States.
House Bill No. 3262 would “re
store the right of American citi-,
zens to freely own gold and gold!
coins; to return control over the
public purse to the people; to re
strain further deterioration of our
currency; to enable holders of pa
per money to redeem it in gold
coin on demand; to establish and
maintain a domestic gold coin
standard and for other purposes.“
The bill would establish a mon
etary unit of the United States of
America to be the gold dollar of
fifteen and five twenty-firsts
grains nine-tenths fine. The bill
seeks to repeal the Gold Reserve
Act of 19.34.
Both bills have been referred to
Britain Slices
Quarter Of Her
Dollar Buying
LONDON, f/P) — Britain yester
day sliced 25 per cent off her buy
ing from the world’s dollar areas
for this year.
Sir Stafford Cripps, chancellor
of the exchequer, told the House
of Commons Britain’s imports
from the United States and other
dollar areas would be limited to
$1,200,000,000. In 1948 Britain
spent $1,600,000,000 on imports.
Cripps announced a cut in pur
chases of U. S. tobacco. He also
said the sugar ration would be
lowered from 10 to eight ounces
weekly and the recently deration
ed candy would go back on ration
Aug. 14. The weekly candy ration
would be four ounces per person.
Cripps knocked off $80,000,000
of the $440,000,000 originally set
aside for the purchase of tobacco.
He said this would mean a re
duction of about five per cent to
British users. Cigarettes already
are scarce here and lines in front
of tobacco stores are a common
, sight.
