The first problem that president Kennedy and this nation face is the Dollar and our loss of Gold. This is More important than any other question because As our Dollar loses in value everything we do or try to do goes awry.

Only tin British have recognized the seriousness of this problem and have come through it with Devotion and Pur j pose. Italy West Germany and Japan have been pounding our Gold Reserve greedily.
