Adjust and Compromise Finance Plan For Silver and Gold Reserve
Washington, Jan 29. In Senate Manderson proposed a finance committee study of a bill to stabilize currency and promote silver monetization. It would require a $200 million gold and $200 million silver reserve, authorize gold or silver bond issues, pay legal tenders in gold or silver, exchange gold for silver and vice versa for five years, let banks use bonds as note backing, tax relief for banks, allow gold or silver on imports, and permit free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1 within U.S. production limits. The plan faces debate over gold and silver parity and potential panics.
