Gold hoard anxieties and Ayres views on world money
In a tone of a dated financial column Americus readers hear Col Leonard P Ayres argue that Americas gold stock remains large and still rising. He notes US gold at about 7 million ounces in 1984 and a current figure near 18 billion dollars while other nations hold 12 to 14 billion. He questions fears of theft or loss, suggests global money flows would adjust if imports stopped, and contemplates tariffs and debtors paying in goods rather than gold.
