Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - June 24, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news a these Days by George e. Sokolsky a question of logic John ii. Baker writing in a out door american on the danger of our being poisoned by Dot and similar chemical opens his article with this paragraph Quot what is the greatest threat to Lite on Earth the communist no. The fact that St Many people now think they constitute the greatest threat is pretty sure indication that they do i do not quite understand. If we All agree that soviet Russia is a threat to us does that prove that it is not if the Western world fears the Impact of communism does that mean that there is no such Impact if everybody believes that Black is Blaak and red is red does that mean that All is White a tuft ily Baker is not making much of a Point of his paragraph. Wii at he wants to show is that the real menace of the age is toxic chemical treatment of the soil from air planes to kill bugs but the logic of that paragraph is intriguing. Too truly the communists Are a much greater menace than ants or Dot now because soviet Russia is adopting the most effective weapons of capitalism not to destroy capitalism but to reduce capitalist countries to impotence. Aho the most important and powerful of such weapons is Gold. As one reads the discussion on the subject of Gold in the transcript of the Byrd committee it is impossible not to reach the conclusion that a very Large amount of the Gold held in fort Knox no longer really belongs to the United states because of foreign balances and the actual Sale of american Gold to foreign countries. Senator George Malone interrogating Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey raised the question As to what would happen if some european country demanded its ear marked Gold. Malone asked your suspicions were aroused by a $3 or $4 billion demand could you yourself make the decision not to sell it to them or not to let them have it for the Dollar balance a trying to find out what happened to the Gold in fort Knox was like pulling Teeth slow and painful. For instance such a discussion As the following was characteristic of the general tone a a senator Malone. Who owns that Gold. Who owns the balance a a Secretary Humphrey. Private holdings. A a senator Malone. In what Way do they differ from the regular foreign official holdings a a Secretary Humphrey. Well these Are Dollar balances of the private individuals in United states Banks. A senator Malone. Well the Dollar balances the dollars they might demand for currency Are not necessarily in Domestic Banks of the foreign official holdings Are they a Secretary Humphrey. Well. These Are not foreign officials. These Are foreign individuals. A a senator Malone. I understand that but is it necessary for them to let a in Banks Here could they not be in a Bank in Europe a a Secretary Humphrey. I do not this goes on and on but gets nowhere at All. Apparently nobody knows anything of what has been happening t to our Gold in fort Knox How much belongs to the United states absolutely both senator Malone and Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey were getting on each others nerves As the following question from senator Malone shows a the next question is How Long would it take them the individuals. To Transfer it to a government Central Bank Over there which could demand it Here a a Secretary Humphrey. Well. I do not know. There Are All sorts of varying would be different probably in each coun now. To get Back to Baker s statement that because Many believe something a is pretty sure indication that it is not so the world has for Many centuries put great Faith in Gold As a basis for currency. The United states departed from the Gold Standard in Roosevelt a first term and never returned. We put our Gold in fort Knox As a treasure trove. Nov soviet Russia is beginning to use Gold As a weapon against the West and it is important to know How much Gold we own absolutely. We could be Defeated by Gold in world Trade. A copyright 1958.
