Advice on Gold
Be Glad TO Take Your
Devaluated Dollars,

What the Supreme Court said-in
everyday words:
To the holder Of a $100 railroad
bond-it may have called for payment
in gold, but you take 500 in devalued
dollars and be glad TO get it; that's all
the railroad owes you.
To the holder of a 500 Liberty bond
the Government was wrong in chop
ping down the size of the dollar it
promised to pay you, but can you
prove damages? Just try. Lawyers
say take your sl0O in devalued dol
lars and be satisfied.
To the holder of a $40 gold GER
tificate-you hold it illegally and can
be jailed for it. So. if accidentally
you still have one, be more than glad
If the Government is willing to ex-
change $40 in devalued dollars with
