One banking authority said the en-
barge would necessitate direct payment
of Canadian debts to the United King

through New York, which has been Gus

concerns would have to be similarly
routed, he said the change could be

Currency expansion may spell

The price Of gold purchased by
the mints is fixed at $20.67 an

mines they must close, he said.
Englebright introduced bill
providing that all newly mined
gold produced in the United
states or possessions shall be &C
eepted at the maximum rate OBJ
tanned on the world market.
This, he says, would give the
cold producers the benefit Of the
