Chamber Urges World Market
 For U. s. Gold

Benefits of the world demand for gold at prices greatly in ex- cess of S35 an ounce should be available to American miners, ac- cording to a resolution just adopt ed by the Board of Directors of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce on recommendation of its mining committee.
 Adrien J. Falk is president of the chamber and George B. Dodge is chairman of the committee whose members include represen- tatives of large and small com panies engaged in gold mining throughout the West.
 After noting that market for gold bullion exists in India and North Africa, as examples, at prices in excess of the legal price in the United States and that the American government is support ing armed forces for the defense of countries where there is great demand for gold, the resolution proposes procedure by the Presi- dent of the United States and the State Department whreby both the American government and do- mestic producers could Obtain the benefits of the high gold prices. Support of the chambers posi- ton is being sought from all of the congressman of the western states as we'll as various organ izations concerned with the do- mestic mining industry.
 Wartime conditions have brought many problems to Amer ican gold producers and it is be- lieved that participation in the present world market for gold will help them defray excessive current costs and be prepared to afford important employment in the postwar period
