Secretary Carlisle on the only remedy for finance crisis
Secretary Carlisle argues that the only permanent remedy is retirement and cancellation of legal tender notes. He criticizes a House bond bill and urges Congress to secure a gold reserve to reassure markets and support the government’s gold payments. He also supports permanent treasury authority for short-term certificates or bonds beyond the current $60 million limit.
