Results Being STUDIED

Nevertheless, some of the more
cautious we're figuring out what the
effect would be if the court con-
strued the contract in gold bonds
as demanding payment in dollars
at their previous value-the very
purpose for which the gold clause
was inserted.
If the Supreme Court declared in
favor Of the plaintiffs, the value OF
the dollar would decline i'm
mediately. This would remove
American buyers of gold from the
world gold market, and the price OF
the metal probably would drop
sharply. AS the balance of trade is
now strongly in favor OF this
country, its removal from the gold
market would mean serious upset
in all exchanges, it is held.
A decline in the gold price prob
ably would result in dehoarding IN
England and France, where vast
sums of gold have been accumulat-
ed. In England alone, it is estl-
mated, private boards amount to
about .5O0,0OO,OOO. In France,
boards of gold total about $5OO,OOO,-
600, it is believed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81. Wall
Street banking authorities today
were generally Of the opinion that
the Supreme Court would uphold
the judgment Of the lower courts
II the gold clause cases.
But there were some close obServ-
ers of the business mind who held
that much Of this feeling could be
attributed to what psychologists call
"Wishful thinking"
The consequences Of what might
happen, not only in the United
States, but in the money markets
Of the world, if the decision were
adverse to the government, were
too detrimental to the United
States to think Of seriously, it was
declared.

today for good and choice hogs was
quoted at S805.
Despite an increase in receipts
from the previous session, trading

eral packers, however, still were
heSitant in making early purchases.
The increase sent prices for hogs
weighing from $50 to 300 pounds up
to $3.50 to So, while better kinds were
higher. The bulk of 1870 to 100
pounds brought S64O to S740. Small
pigs, weighing 100 to 100 pounds,
sold at S5.15 to S6.15. Good packing
sows caShed in at $6.75 to SIPS. Hold

With the general trade active and

Alien Moneys Would Rise

If Congress we're to respond 10
an adverse decision with currency
initiation. to offset the deflationary
effect of such a Judgment, foreign
currncies would rise sharply. Such
a rise in sterling probably would be
met by an offsetting decrease in the
gold price to maintain the stability
of the pounds purchasing power, IN
keeping with English fiscal policy.
The effect upon the gold bloc
countries is more difficult for the
experts to figure, for political as
we'll as economic complications
multiply the factors with which they
must deal.
If this country were to increase
the gold content of the dollar, and
thereby increase its purchasing
power. the tendency would be to
stimulate the export of goods from
the gold bloc countries, and to some
degree restore foreign travel by
Americans. This would improve the
economic position of the gold bloc
countries externally.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-31
Glut of Gold FOreseen

The attempt to translate these
boards into approaching currencles
would mean a glut Of metal in the
world markets, with a result at pres
ent incalculable. Such gold would
find its way into the treasures OF
central banks and have distlctly
infationary effect.
The course of gold prices before
and after the price Of gold was
raised in the United States from
S2O.67 an ounce to S35 an ounce on
Jan. 81, last, is Illuminating.
On Jan. ?. 1884, the open market
price of gold in London was fixed
at 127 shillings an ounce. Fore
shadowing the presidential decree OF
Jan. 81. the price rose to 1873 shll-
ligs l penny an ounce by that date.
Bv Feb. % the price had risen TO
1877 shillings l penny.
If the United States, in response
TO an unfavorable decision OF the
Supreme Court, we're to put the
price of gold back at $2O.67 an
ounce. it is almost certain that this
price movement would be reversed.
Certain it is that with the London
price near S35 an ounce, gold would
cease to flow to America. This alone
would tend to depress the gold
market.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-01-31
Cost of Living Affected

But a decrease in the price of gold
would mean an increase in prices
of all commodities, and hence IN
the cost of living. This probably
would occur before the benefits OF
expanding trade could help these
countries. Whether Srch a condi-
ton. which would bear heavily upon
the laboring populace, would fertil-
lie the seeds of economic revolt now
terminating appears to be beyond
the scope of arithmetic, which
governs the movements Of trade.
Certainly, the position Of the
banker and induStrialiSt economic
ally would be improved by anything
which would offset the movements
toward devaluation of the gold bloc
currencies, which is now becoming
more and more serious.

BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressn1an-a at IIaroe

In smashing far-reaching special
message to congress, Wednesday,
President Roosevelt recommended a
new program Of federal taxes designed
ultimately to redistribute the wealth
Of our country. He recommended
greatly increased inheritance and
gift taxes against great fortunes. He
advocated increased taxes against
very large personal incomes. This
fortnight message proposes to les
sen burdens against the average tax.
payer He is the first president to
urge taking a large slice Of the vast
fortunes which go to heirs who had
nothing to do with The creation OF
that wealth. Furthermore, he urged
taking by congressional action. a most
substantial part Of the personal In
comes Of those forty-6ve Americans
each Of whose annual income now ex-
eeeds one million dollars. The presi-
dent advised that the proceeds be
used to pay off the national debt. His
message was greeted by prolonged
cheers from the democratic side of the
chamber, spontaneous rising Of demo-
cratic, progressive and former labor
members, and rebel yells" from
southerners. Republicans sat in sullen
silence.
The facts are concentration If
wealth in the hands Of 4 few has been
making a mockery Of our boasted de-
moeracy, is a challenge to the integ
rity of our republican form Of COY
