Supreme Court decision curbs gold pay on private bonds
Edward W. Pickard notes the high court sustained invalidation of gold payment promises in private contracts while allowing gold or its equivalent for government bonds. It upholds Congress power over currency, limits claims by holders of federal bonds and gold certificates, and signals no immediate executive moves though credit fears loom. Justices differ, with Chief Justice Hughes leading the majority and McReynolds dissenting. Roosevelt prepares to act if needed.
