War debt paid with silver bullion under new currency law
The British government paid a 510,000,000 instalment on the war debt to the United States with 20,000,000 ounces of silver bullion, accepted at 50 cents an ounce under the currency law. Britain spent about 7,200,000 dollars, while the silver dollar can coin the same metal into 23,790,000 dollars, a paradox showing how credit and metal value interact in the monetary system. The piece discusses world monetary talks, Congress, and the evolving role of government bodies in this shifting era.
