Idaho Senator
Leads Fight For
Higher Gold Price
Senator Henry Dvorshak of
Idaho is leading the Congressional
action for the increase of the
price of gold. In his remarks to
Congress, he calls attention to
the fact that it has been 63 years
since William Jenning Bryan
launched his attack on gold policy,
and started this nation on the
road toward flat currency, and he
reminds the American people that
the security of their currency is
being jeopardized by complacen
cy in the handling of gold re
serves by the U. S. Treasury, and
by indifference in Congress.
He notes that under a Treasury
policy, foreign nations can re
deem their XJ. S. dollars any time
in gold, and now have obligations
against the U. S. gold supply of
over 18 billion dollars, while
Americans are denied the posses
sion of gold.
In May of 1959, America had
only $20 million in gold reserves.
He urges Congress to safeguard
the security of our financial sys
tem, or find itself on the brink of
fiscal disaster.
Several thousand names have
been turned in to the American
Gold Association on petitions for
a gold price that is realistic.
