WHY THERE WILL BE NO LOWERING
 OF THE GOLD PRICE

Despite assurance from the President and tho Secretary of the Treasury that the price of gold h not going to be lowered there are still many rumble that change may in the gold level But there is reason to believe that such comment is based or unfounded rumor rather than fact
 There appears to be at least three rather definite reasons why the gold price will not be changed at this time The outstanding is that it requires an ac of Congress The President has no authority to dC anything to the price of gold H N Lawrie Consulting Economist in Washington, D. c, writing in the June Engineering and Mining Journal, explains that poin clearly in these words:
 As originally enacted the law granting the President the authority to change the weight of the gold dollar included the fol-
 lowing proviso: but in event shall the weight of the gold dollar be fixed to reduce the present weight by more than 50 per centum" However the Congress made a vital change in this provision in the Gold Reserve Act of 1884 passed on January 30, 1884 when the following limitation was n
 corporated: nor shall the weight of the gold dollar be fixed in any event at more than 50 per centum of its present weight The President by proclamation on January 3l,
 1884 reduced the weight of the gold dollar
 59O6 per centum, or to Is 5l21 grains of gold nine-tenths fine, equivalent to S35 per ounce. For the Inactive Gold Account the Secre- tary of the Treasury is compelled to pay the statutory price of $35 per ounce for all of the new gold produced in the United States. Congress would have to pass amendment to the Gold Reserve Act of 1884 increasing the

weight of the gold dollar to 21 l/3d grains of gold nine- -tenths fine before the price of gold would be reduced to S25 per ounce.
 But as MT. Lawrie points out, there are other reasons why the gold price probably will remain sta tonary for some time While the nation is attaining normal business recovery, the peak has not been reached and the unemployment problem is still a major one The Economist is of the theory that the remainder of the world has advanced further than the United States in economic recovery and no uh- employment problem on any serious scale exists abroad Thus this country would suffer more than the rest of the world by action reducing the price of gold Continuing his line of reasoning, MT Lawrie says:
 It lowering the gold price) would precipi-
 tate an extensive and prolonged deflatlon,
 industrial stagnation on large scale, ana an
 increase in unemployment Why would the
 Administration take action which would be so
 adverse to our domestic economy especially
 at time when progress is being made in eco-
 homie recovery?
 And the Economist makes third point equally sound reasoning, which tends to dissipate at thls any belief that the price of gold will be lowered
 The Administration inspired the agreement between Great Britain, France, and the United States to stabilize currency and remove trade barriers and consequently would be reluc- tant to withdraw from the accord, an act which would be unacceptable if the United
 States were to decrease the price of gold rom
 S35 to S25 per ounce Great benefits to tor-
 egn trade have occurred since September 70,
 1886 when this currency accord was signed,
 through the removal of trade obstacles ana
 the greatly improved stability of the pound, franc and dollar. These are economic adVan- tages which are increasing as time passes ana cannot be lightly appraised in improving do- nestle and world economy In order to enl- phasze the nature and extent of the obllga- lions assumed by the United States when the Tripartite Agreement signed, the memor- andum of September 25, 1936 Paragraph IS ouoted in part as follows: "one constant object of which is to maintain the greatest possible equilibrium in tre system of inter- national exchange and to avoid to the utmost extent the creation of any disturbance of that system by American etary actlon
 Nothing could disturb the monetary system more than arbitrary action by the Unlted States reducing the price of gold from S3o
 to s25 per ounce
 Although news dispatches in recent days report that France has slid off the gold standard in an effort o save it's financial structure it is turning to England and the United States for assistance and while they may help France in her financial troubles It IS req sonable to assume that neither will sacrifice trade and economic security by lowering the gold value There seems to be ample evidence that gold m this country is going to remain at S35 ounce for some time to come.
