 Washington, Jan 15-(UPD--- The decision of the supreme court in the i've gold clause cageg now under advisement may affect any one who owes dollar or who has q dollar due.
 Therefore, the issue becomes one not only between the gold bond holders, and gold bond debtors but between all debtors and all credl- tors. A third interested party is the adminlstration which, through It's monetary policy, has sought to Tighten the debt burden.
 Three suits entertained by the court are brought against two rnii- road companies by gold bond hold CTS who claim they are entitled to S1.GB in currency for every dollar on the face of the bond. Another suit0r demands the government meet liberty bonds on the same bagis and another that gold ccrtifi- cnteB be so honOred.
 The figure is arrived at on the basis Of the present gold content of the dollar, 15 5-2i grains.
 Gold, according to economists. became the favored medium of
 
 tho available supply was Derma- nent enough to prevent It's value from GuctuatinR because it is not subject to corro1ion and because large monetary value of tho metal could be stored in small space and 1t could be transferred easily from point to point.
 Until the latter part Of the last century, they say, there was not enough to serve this purpose. Large findings in the Kl0ndike and South Africa rcIncdicd this weak ness and it tended to become the single standard for measurement of currGncicB
 It's stable value made It desirable for long term lenders because of the certainty that, If they were re- paid in gold. they would get back tho full value of their debt.
 When the government inaugu- rated it's monetary policy it decided that the S100, 900. 100000 of these bonds WAS n menace. They were outinwed.
 The purpose behind dcvnluing the dollar was tO Tighten the bur- den, of those owing debts without seriously hurting creditors. 1t also served to stnrt what was conMd- cred the most easily controlled method Of imitation or. as some prefer 10 call it, "rcfIntion".
 Some gold bond holders. how ever. many of whom bought gold bonds during the threat of infn- lion. did so because they felt in that way they were insnripg them

| New York, Jan 15-(UPD--Ner- cous apprehension over the gu. preme court decision on the gold clause reverberafed through mar kets of the world today.
 Stocks declined shnrpIy with the gold and silver issues demorallzed' Trading late in the day was so ac- tive tickers were minutes late. Commodities dropped with wheat and corn at new eenBOnal loWB' Corn lost 2 D-S to 2 7-S cents a bustel on the day. Wheat was down 2 3.4 to 2 3-4 cents and oats down 1 to 2 B-S cents. Cotton dropped VI c bale.
 The American dollar was bought eagerly by Europeans. In Paris it roae 10 il new high since early 1888 as the franc dropped. In Lon don the pound broke below US former parity. In New York the pound dropped more than 3 cents
 and the Canadian dollar got below par, while gold currencies were down IT to 102 points.
 In the last half hour of trading the markets showed q more even tone. Prices came back from tho lows in stocks. Selling frightened In the commodities. Foreign ex- changes rallied from their lows. .. Before the late rally, the gold
 mining tissues were dcmoralized' The high priced Homestake Min- ing, bIuest of the blue chips of to- day, crashed to $40 where 1t waf l3S points from the previous close. It subsequently, recovered 10

 They relied on constitutional provision that the government shall not take private property without just compensation. "Jusi coTnpcnsati0n" they say, iB ounce for ounce of the gold their contract calls for.
 The constitution, though, also says that congress may regulate the value of the currency. 1t was under this clause that tho gold clause bonds were outlawed and made payable in any legal tender. This conflict, the power of con gross to regulate currency, against the prohibition that forbade 1t to take private property for public use without just compensation, ia the conflict which must be decided by the court.
 This leads to the question of What. Is just cornpcnsatjon2". The lbondholders say 1t is $Igp | Of currency or 25.8 grains of gold nine tcnthe fine. Others contend that 1t may be any figure, noting that remote factors may enter Into this question.
