Gold Everywhere Still
Sought, Says Haney

Gold has a unique position as a
means of boarding" 1t stores
and carries value. The more a
country suffers from depreciation
in its currency, the more it's citi-
zenS seek to hoard gold.
In fact, the suspension of gold
standards seems merely to in
crease the desire of men to ac-
quire and hold the definite and
relatively stable values which
gold affords.
Concrete evidence of this ap-
pears in the strength of gold
mining shares on our markets,
even though the Government will
not let us have the metal.
This is what sets the upper
limit to the price of gold.
There are two ways to measure
or express the value of gold. One
is in terms Of paper or other cur
rencies. The other is in terms of
commodities.
When the Government an
nounces that the price of gold is
$31 an ounce, it is measuring the
value in paper dollars.
When, however, we figure how
much steel or cotton or wheat or
other commodities an ounce of
gold will buy, we are measuring
its value in terms Of real buying
power.
Looked at in this way, gold
has not risen much in value,
