ByDeath Of Mrs. Maggie Peterson

Der IL. 1927. Mrs. Peterson was
a very hard worker throughout
her life but she always managed
to have smile and welcome

sons, Frank. Melvin and Mitch
ell Peterson. two daughters-in-

spects at the last sad rites and

 What to do with this gold?"
 When you and have something valuable, we put it in safe place" Y" 'That is what the government is doing. A hole in the ground, well guarded, is hard to beat for safety"
 "The government is critized for refusing to put gold into circulation. This may be just or unjust. Prac- tically speaking, we all seem to con. slider a paper dollar the equivalent of gold, even though the national debt is upwards of $40, ,000, ,000, ,000."
 What good is all this gold?"
 Reserve Purchasing Power Obviously we can't use all of 1t in jewelry, ornaments or the like. To us gold is a store of value; it is one way we store our surplus. We have a tremendous reserve of purchasing power to delve into any time We choose.'
 "How did we get all this gold?"
 ''This country has been compara- lively rich and has accumulated surpluses for several years. The United States, though 1t may be heavily in debt internally as gov- ernment, is out of debt to foreigners. If half the nations of the world dis sipate themselves with war, the other half probably will possess even larger proportion of the world s wealth when it is all over.
 When the United States has &C., quired most of the worlds gold, it is commonly predicted that the re- maining countries of the world will abandon gold as a monetary metal and this country will be left holding the bag. It must be remembered, however, that a good proportion of the world has already left the gold standard.
 Called Store of Value
 "This does not mean that they no longer value gold highly. Gold has greater demand as a store of value than for monetary use. Because ot the economic and political chaos in recent years, people throughout most of the world have greater demand for gold now than when they were on the gold standard.
 furthermore, since the United States will have most of the worlds surplus wealth after the current wars. whether that wealth is gold
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-15

or some other commodity, this co, try will be so important in wol .,, trade that many currencieS will be tied to the dollar and thus to the gold.
 Based on recent trends, it is my belief that the value of gold will not decline as result of the aban. donment of the gold standard. Even if it does, the decline will not be detrimental. A decline ill the value of gold corresponds to a decline in the value of the dollar, which, in turn, is the same as a rise in the general price level. In reality, the United States, instead of holding the bag, will experience a rise in prices.
 "This gold is nothing to worry about. Of itself it will neither pro- mote nor discourage business neither raise nor lower prices and neither increase nor decrease un- employment. The relative amount of the worlds gold held in this coun- try has no relation to prices"
