Government Wins Contention in Gold Bond Case
A Supreme Court majority allows the government to refund up to 500 million dollars of old gold bonds at a reduced interest rate, with Justice Cardozo leading the decision read by Chief Justice Hughes. Dissenters McReynolds Butler and Sutherland argue the ruling honors bad faith and repudiation, noting potential savings if redemption without gold payment were allowed.
