Miners Seeking Free World Market For Gold

On the last day of January this year, Harry Sears, of Angels Camp, California, president of a gold mining company, spoke be- fore the Western Annual Mining Conference Below are excerpts from the talk.
 Sears stated that the proper use of gold will provide one of the strongest influences in final ar engagements for world peace"
 He said that government regula- tions victimiZed and oppressed gold producers, their properties forced into expensive idleness. credit weakened and solvency Sapped.
 "A producing gold mine is fac tory, the gold its raw stock. It should enjoy the same freedom as every other industry" he contin- ued.
 People here are now seeking and buying natural raw gold and paying premium prices for it. Peo- pie in other lands have long ago bid and paid vastly higher prices and they are eager to absorb all they can find"
 With the awakening of the gold industry to the distrust of political promises, it is significant that there is return to public confi- dence in gold as the honest bull wark of value.
 Gold producers are hampered by regulations dating back to that era when Congress was told to pass laws in spite of doubts as to their validity or constitutionality If the law did not give its new deal planners the desired freedom of action this was achieved by 2 department order. rule or practice, under pretense of authority. They possess no such rights. Their propaganda over the years, how ever. has been so effective that even some of the gold producers do not realize that they are beins robbed, and that they have impor- tant rights, if they will assert them. -9 A statement from the secretary of the treasury. said: Based upon the opinion of the attorney gener. al, collectors of customs have been advised that ores, concentrates precipitates and unretorted anal. gam containing gold which ha. not been smelted or refined ars not to be considered as gold bull. lion and may be exported" This has become of great i'm. portance now that production costs have increased and price.

in other markets for gold are greater than the mint price here.
 The next step will be to estab- fish freedom to smelt and market our concentrates so that all Of our gold may be in salable form.
 It is only through firm and uni ted action that the industry can regain the position of freedom and respect which it enjoyed until the social planners began to under mine and nationalize it.
 The scope of the Gold Act IS limited by Clause Five of the Con- stitution which gives Congress power
 "To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standards of weights and measures"
 It doesn't say anything about gold mining, and the Gold Re- serve Act by it's own description is
 'an act to protect the currency system of the United States" ito provide for the better use of monetary gold stock of the United States"
 The treasury and federal reserve can allocate their money and deal with their gold after it becomes their property, but foreign gold sent here for currency exchange and our national gold reserve, are quite different things, in no way related to new gold produced from our mines. The two subjects have been mixed up and confused. Nei- ther of these government agencies has any valid right to our new rold unless they buy it at the price we are willing to sell. When a producer is compelled to yield up any of his processed gold at a price fixed by the government, and is denied the right to seek an- other purchaser and receive a higher price, it is clearly Q viola ton of his property rights quar- anteed under the Fifth Amend ment.
 Since 1884. when the price of >S5 an ounce was set by law, the dollar has been devaluated so that now it equals only $l7 an ounce today. A figure of $70 an ounce should be set, but the Treasury Department is now administering the Gold Act and no increase is allowed. And remember" Sears goes on to say, i've are not al- lowed to seek other markets and sell our product to higher bid- ders."
 Through the free gold marke. bills which are now before Con- gress we are really asking that body to direct the bureaus and de- partments responsible for the present impositions on gold pro- ducers to cease violating our prop-
