COLD STANDARD
STATUS STILL
IS PUZZLE
Europe and America alike were
wondering today whether the
United States is on or off the geld
standard.
President Roosevelt announced
a complete embargo on exports of
gold. Secretary Woodin declared
that the country was definitely
off the gold standard.
Exports Authorized
Then the President issued an
Executive order which permits ex
ports of gold for any purpose that
the Secretary of the Treasury,
with presidential approval, deems
“in the public interest.”
Gold may be exported to sup
port the dollar, to meet trade
balances, to assist other nations
In going on the gold standard,
or for any other purpose that is
held to be in “the interest” of
the United States.
Several specific purposes for
which gold exports may be
licensed were provided for in
the President’s order. They,
however, were of minor conse
quence.
The United States has $4,313,-
000,000 in monetary gold as
compared with the total world
supply of about $11,500,000,000.
European countries became
decidedly agitated when the
gold export embargo was de
clared, since it was Interpreted
as a plan to depreciate the dol
lar in foreign markets and thus
put the United States on an
exchange equality with the de
preciated currencies of England
and other commercial countries.
? America Holds Clin
As the matter stands the
American Government has a tre
mendous club over the heads of
its competitors. By standing pat
and prohibiting exports of gold,
the President is now in a posi
tion to speak authoritatively to
the world in matters of exchange.
The order also provided that
the Secretary of the Treasury
could investigate, control or pro
hibit any transactions in foreign
exchange, or movements of credit
or any currency from the United
States to any foreign country.
This sweeping authority in effect
means absolute control of the
foreign trade of the country.
