Freezing Inflow Of Gold Broad Plan Outlined In 1933
The treasury unveiled a three point balance wheel plan to freeze gold inflows and control credit. It buys all imported and domestic gold with treasury receipts, deposits future gold acquisitions in an inactive account, and buys or redeems outstanding bills as gold flows change. The move aims to remove loanable funds when gold rises and restore them when it falls, reducing inflation risk. President Roosevelt approved the plan with Morgenthau and Marriner Eccles presenting it to reporters.
