MINING CONGRESS
TAKING STAND ON
LEADING ISSUES
Monetary Stability Threat
ened by Commies Is
Given Urging
SALT LAKE CITY. Aug. 29—\1P)—
The Western Division of the Am
erican Mining Congress has been
requested to help preserve the na
tion’s monetary stability “against
the avowed intent of our Communist
enemies to debase currencies."
To accomplish this purpose, the
United States should avoid deficit
financing, delegates to the Congress
convention and exposition were in
formed in a resolution.
The industry leaders yesterday
made strong recommendations re
garding the nation’s gold standard.
The convention adopted a resolu
tion calling for the restoration of
gold to “its historic function" to
check mounting inflation.
Senator Harry P. Cain (W-Wash)
had called for convertibility of cur
rency at a gold price to be fixed
n a “free and open market during a
limited period of probation." The
Senator didn’t attend but his pre
pared address mirrored mining con
gress opinion, supported by the re
solution.
In another resolution, the dele
gates from all parts of the nation
took a sharp slap at Socialism.
