UNEARTHS BIG MCOME TAX RACKET

OFF GOLD BY STATVTF
WASHINGTON, May 27, »APl
.—-Roosevelt decided tha; the Catt
ed States should go off the gold
standard by statute, and requested
chairman Sleagell of the House
hanking committee to introduce a
resolution which would accomplish
that. *-*
He showed the newspapermen a
copy of the resolution, which he
says will put the nation off the
gold standard. He said that it re
peals the Gold Standard Act, add
ing, that under the resolution, no
bonds of Obligation of the Federal
government, and no obligations in
any form, would have to die paid
in gold or gold currency after the
enactment of the measure, which
is expected next week.
Under the act, Roosevelt said
that it would be possible for for
eign debtors to pay the United
States their war d^bts In any leg-1
money. This bill frees the United
States from the obstacle* and hand
icaps of the gold standard. He de
clared that it was part of bis em
ergency relief program, and it
makes it unnecessary for him to
devaluate the gold dollar under
the inflation provisions of the
Farm Relief Act.
Steagell termed this act one of
the ,greatest steps towards stabil
izing money in the United States,
making all legal money meet all
obligations which were payable tn
gold
