Retire Legal Tenders Report Urges Monetary Reforms
The currency committee report read by Cor nelius A. Pugsley urged retiring United States notes if practicable and warned against on demand borrowing unless resources exist. It proposed a shift to time payments, a gold-backed gold reserve for silver certificates, and a $160 million gold cushion to redeem about $600 million in silver certificates. The plan favored guaranteed dollar value, Treasury discretion to place excess funds in national banks, and freer government deposits with bond-backed guarantees.
