Court rules gold clause invalid. bonds may be paid in gold not required
The Supreme Court, in a five to four decision, upheld Congress power to nullify gold clauses in private bonds while ruling federal gold payments under government bonds unconstitutional. The ruling noted that gold certificates are worth their face value in devalued currency, and raised questions about damages and future recoveries if gold payments were reinstated. Chief Justice Hughes led the majority with a cautious view on currency matters amid Roosevelts administration's plans.
