Who Is Bidding Up
Price of Gold On
London Market?
BY SAM DAWSON
APP Business News Analyst


ding up the price of gold on the
London market? Monday morning
it shot up above $40 an ounce
again = SIS more than the us.
Treasury selling price.
After COLDS wild rise Thursday
to nearly $41, the US. Treasury
fatty said it wouldn't raise its
buying or selling price and the
London free market subsidized Fri
day with gold closing around $37.
The central banks of other ma
tons could sell gold on the Lon
don market, taking the $40 to buy
gold from the us. at $35, and
pocket the SIS profit.
Wall Street bankers say that
last week at least there was no
sign that any central banks were
involved either in buying the
gold or in supplying it to the
market.
There is every sign that the
United States is firmly discour-
aging any such run on its gold
stocks. Wall Street bankers doubt
if any friendly nation would go
against Washington's wishes at
this time, since such a devalua-
ton of the dollar might upset all
world foreign exchange markets,
as well as playing into Soviet
hands.
American spectators could be
selling and buying gold on the
London market. But they can't do
so here as the law permits sales
only for art and industrial pur-
poses or to other governments
and their central banks, or to
! some international monetary
bodies.
But Americans can, and have,
bought and sold gold through
Swiss banks, where their trans
actions can be confidential. Am
orleans also can buy gold bars
in Canada, but can't bring them
! back home.
us. Election Uncertainties
Some American buying could
be tied to the uncertainties of the
American election. Talk of deval-
uation if the Democrats win -
talk which Senator Kennedy has
denied-could lead American fin
anciers to seek gold as a hedge.
Devaluation of the dollar be-
fore the election by Republican
administration would play into
Democrats hands-and not even
Europeans think that remotely
likely.
But the biggest demand for gold
on the London market is believed
to come from European, Mideast
and Far East spectators, who
have been in and out Of the world
gold market for years-and from
peasants in many lands who turn
to gold whenever doubts are aired
about the value of currencies.
Such doubts today are tied to
the fear that no matter what the
US. Treasury says it will be
forced to devalue the dollar.
The reasoning (all of which is
denied by the Treasury is:
l. That deepening recession
could put the Treasury into de-
ficit financing again, reviving in
flation;
2. That the three-year excess
in the amount of money the US.
has been spending for imports,
overseas investments and foreign
aid over what it has taken in
from its exports and returns on
its investments could mean that
its steady loss of gold will con-

Why Are They There?

Inc nature OF Lne prODlem IN Jne
Congo is becoming a bit clearer. But a
solution seems to move ever farther
away-So much so that one may legiti-
mately wonder just why a United Ma
tions force is in the country and just
what it is supposed to do.
The problem no longer is that of
getting the Belgians out or one of main
tanning order. 1t is what to do about
Patrice Lumumba, aided and abetted, as
we have no doubt is the case, by Commu-
mist advisers. Mr.. Lumumba, who initi-
ally appealed for help after his native
army had mutinied, now has declared
martial law and is giving orders. He
says he has lost confidence in Secretary
General Dag HammarSkjold and wants
him replaced. He is demanding that
Swedish troops be pulled out of the u N
contingent in Katanga. He insists that
force be used by the U. N. to force Ka-
tanga province back into line. His police
are Sei1ing and searching U. N. civilian
personnel. And his native troops, who
recently were on the rampage, are NOV
ing into certain key positions.
Meanwhile, it is said that the U. N.
troops have been ordered not to use
force except in Self-defenSe and that
they will not be employed to resolve any
internal political conflicts. What is it,
then, that they are doing in the Congo,
and what are they supposed to do in
the future?
The real though unStated reason for
their presence, we suppose, is to fill
vacuum-to discourage the Russians
from moving in if Mr. Lumumba should
turn openly to Moscow. The position of
the U. N. force, however, is rapidly be-
coming untenable. These troops cannot
stay if the Premier wants to force them
out, for the Congo after all is sovereign
state, and they should not stay there if
they are to become an instrument to be
used by Mr.. I,umumba for his own pur-
poses. What is needed is clear state
ment by the Security Council in aff1rma-
tive rather than negative terms of the
mission of the U. N. force. And the will
to carry out this mission should be made
manifest. If these things cannot be
done, or if they are not done, it is diff
cult to believe that the U. N. force can
serve any useful purpose in the Congo,
or even that it can remain there very
long.

Take 1t From Here

President Eisenhower has dropped
into the laps of the big Democratic ma
jority in Congress full responsibility for
the legislative record in this pre-
campaign summertime session. It is a
good trick, and not less so If political
implications may be read into it.
AS Mr.. Eisenhower pointed out to
his news conference yesterday, the 81
point program which he sent to Capitol
Hill ten days ago is not new program.
1t has been on the Hill since last Janu-
ary with various presidential recon-
mendations to back it up. He is not at
this time suggesting prioritieS-"t
Congress will have to decide what it is
going to do and what it is not going to
do" There is time for action, he thinks,
if the Congress (meaning its Democratic
leadership-and most of all the PreSi-
dental ticket of Senators Kennedy and
JohnSon) wishes to take it. Furthermore,
he added, unless actual emergency de-
mands t." it would be unwise and point
less to call the Congress back into a
special session. "If the voters are dis
satisfied with either side" he COM
mented, they can make their views
known
There may be cries of anguish from
Democrats at this exercise in passing
the buck" But If so, it is unlikely there
will be any note of genuine surprise. At
this season, the game usually begins to
get rough.
