The Ticker
BY LOUIS M. SCHNEIDER

NEW YORK - Moving at the
rate OF about $500, 900, 00c weekly,
the treasury department is ship
ping registered mail - about
$4,000. 900, 900 in gold from the
underwater vaults Of the New
York assay office, located at Old
slip and South streets. to the
world-famous vaults of Fort Knox,
Kentucky.
This is the first mass gold ship
ment from any part OF the country
to Fort Knox since 1888. Added to
the amount now held there. this
win bring the total to more than
SIC, 00o. 000. 900 of the money metal
safeguarded by those electrically
fortified vaults.
Safety - European advices are
that gold shipments to the United
States viii continue small until the
end of the war, not because of
Americas possible monetary poll
cies in time. but because of the
risk of shipping now is great. Pur-
chases of commodities and mate
rails in the u. s. will hereafter be
paid out of gold balances already
earmarked for that purpose.
Safe-Did Hitler's armies obtain
much gold when they invaded Po-
land, France, Holland, Norway and
Denmark Leading bankers say
the total amount is exceedingly
small. Heavy shipments We're
made to the United States well
before World War II got under
way a year ago this week.
Foreign-owned gold here is safe
ly stored in federal reserve bank
vaults. President Roosevelt or
dered that all cash balances of
Nazi-invaded nations be frozen. "
This keeps 1t out of Hitler's hands
until court action decides. in years
to come, TO whom 1t belongs.
Unavailable "A few bushes,
minds are of the opinion that since
Uncle SANS gold hoard is close tc
s21 900. 900, 900 and rising slowly
it would be good idea to use part
of II to reduce the public debt anc
re-introduce gold-coin use. But i
can't be done because the gold il
already employed.
When the treasury buys gold, l
pays via a draft drawn on il
bank balance. The treasury's banl
balances are made up of gold Ger
tifieates given by the federal re
serve bank. which holds the gol
as security. Therefore. the gol
isn't available to reduce publ
) debt.
