opinions regarding the legality
Of the Administrations plan of
gold purchases we're revealed to.
day.
Former Acting Secretary of
the Treasury Dean G. Acheson
questioned the legality of the
gold buying transactions, while
Stanley Reed, general counsel for
the r. F. c., upheld the Ad-
ministration's monetary policy.
Acheson's opinion said:
1T would seem that the pro-
pOsal that r. F. C. purchasing
gold with its own debentures
under Section 9 of the r. F. G.
act is one Of doubtful legality.
''In the first place, it must
be frankly admitted that the
issuance of obligations by the
r. F. C. was contemplated by
Congress only as a revenue
measure for the purpose of
putting the r. F. C. funds for
use in connection with it's
authorized lending functions"
Differing with Acheson's opin-
ion, Reed declared the RFC issue
Of $50,000,000 short term notes
now being exchanged for gold is
within the terms of Section 9 of
the RFC act, because:
"The word sale does not nee
eSSariIy import an exchange for
money only.
"The word sale has a variety
Of definitions.
"But its definition is rarely
limited to an exchange for
money only. Thus, while a sale
is sometimes defined as a trans
fer of property from one to
another in consideration of a
price named or agreed to be
paid in current money it is
more usual to find a sale is the
exchange of an interest in real
or personal property for money
or it's equivalent or a parting
with ones interest in anything
