Roosevelt seeks to end US consent to be sued on coins
Washington June 2. President Roosevelt asks Congress to withdraw the United States consent to be sued on its currency and securities after a Supreme Court ruling found gold clauses unconstitutional. He urges immediate enactment to pay gold clause holders in cash or exchange for non gold clauses, end consent to sue, and reaffirm equal payment policy. The move follows a White House meeting with top officials and aims to clamp down on private speculation and protect government operations.
