World's Free Market
Delegate E. L. Bartlett renewed
his request last week that favor
able consideration be given o;v
the Secretary of the Treasury ,c
approve the sale of gold* on the
world’s free markets.
The delegate’s representations
were made once more to the
Treasury Department head fol
lowing recent announcement by
the Canadian government that
marketing of free gold will be
allowed through a licensing sys
tem.
“The discriminations against
American miners have been par
ticularly severe,’’ Delegate Bart
lett stated. “Many of them were
forced to suspend operations dur
ing World War II. All of them
have been discriminated against
as inflationary pressures have
mounted. Other producers of oth

tion by increasing their selling
prices. The miner, alone, has not
been able to do so. His price is
fixed by the United States gov
ernment and the government is
the only purchaser.”
In concluding his plea that the
gold miner be permitted to offer
his product at the highest world
price available, Delegate Bartlett
declared, “In terms of total num
bers, gold miners are perhaps not
an important segment of the na
tion’s economy. Perhaps that is
one reason why their pleas for a
more understanding attitude in
their hour of need has not met
with more sympathetic considera
tion. But in terms of a willing
ness to dare, to invest capital m
against great odds, to carry for
dition which has always been as
sociated with gold mining, these
people are in an especial class oy
themselves. They deserve at least
the same consideration as Cana
dian miners, and I respectfully
urge that they be granted it
promptly.”
