Currency inflation by increasing gold price advocated
Chicago December resolution proposes currency inflation by backing dollars with more gold. The plan would raise gold price from 20 to 300 dollars per ounce and cut gold backing from 23.22 to 16 grains per dollar to lift commodity prices. A stabilization bureau is suggested to adjust gold as needed to sustain 1920s-1929 averages. Other resolutions push long term farm mortgage refinancing, tariff protection, and banking reform.
