The
Story
of
Gold
EVERYONE
IS
INTERESTED
in
gold
so,
jet's
taljt
about
gold.
They
are
talking
.about
it
on
!
Prince
Rupert
and
on
Canadian
stock
exchanges
5Yhere
there
vas.a
.rumor,
later
denied
that
the.gov-jernment
had
decided
to
pay
a
premium
for
its
.production.
j;
It
seems
that
once
.upon
a
time,,
.as
Babylonian
mothers
used
to
tell
their
puzzled
children,
it
was
all
,
very
simple.
You
.had
apiece
of
gold
some
one
admired
it
and
gave
you
a
hind
quarter
of
beef
for
j
it,
or
the
current
version
of
the
new
hemline.
It
was
i
as
simple
as
that.
If
you
had
gold
you
could
buy
anything.
I
iict's
go
on
on
to
say
1
914,
when
"gold
standard"
'was
an
untarnished
phrase
standing
for
the
utmost
!
jn
national
monetary
respectability
in
.the
best
.of
'worlds'.
You
could
take
five
dollars
or
a
pound
sterling
jto
the
bank
and
et
gold
for
it.
And
.if
acoun-jlryi)ought
more
from
another
country
than
she
sold
to
i
tslie
paid
off
the
difference
in
gold.
-Came
the
first
Ayorld
war
and
that
matter
of
rgetting
gold
for
your
money
went
out
the
window.
L.
It
came
to
be
regarded
.as
good
thinking
that
the
vnfiift
of
a
country's
.money,
lay
in
.what
it
would
buy
rivithimthe
country
which
issued
it.
That
is,
if
it
I
would
buy
your
.needs
and
reasonable
-luxuries,
it
wasn't
necessary
that
you
should
be
able
to
ask
for
Jgold.
However,
it
still
was
considered
that
a
coun-jtry
which
bought
more
from
another
country
than
jahe
sold
to
it,
should
pay
the
difference
an
gold,
.and
that
its
real
value
was
in
the
settling
of
these
Inter-
national
balances.
Then
came
the
depression
.of
,
the
i'80's.
Britain
and
other
countries
went
.off
the
gold
standard"
and
the
settling
,of
international
i
balances
with
.gold
.also
went
.out
the
window.
That
f
doefcn't
seem
to
have
left
much
of
the
"jjold
istand-
ard."
But
the
human
.race
lias
an
:age-old
canfi-j
dence
in
gold.
Part
of
this
may
be
instinctive
faith,
part
of
it
may
be
sound
thinking.
Whatever
it
is,
'.Jlhercris-a
lot
of
the
"standard"
left
in
the
old
.metal.
Z
Which
brings
up
the
subject
-of
,the
present
.most
Stanjiible
reason
f
on
world
respect
for
gold:
the
.Uni-Jed
States
will
pay
$35
an
ounce
for
it.
Why
the
-United
States
continues
to
do
this
is
something
for
-her
treasury
officials
to
explain.
Perhaps
she
just
thinks
it
is
the
sound
thing
to
jdo,
or
perhaps
-she
as,
shorrified
to
think
what
would
happen
to
the
world,
Zeconomy,
including
her
own,
if
she
stopped
buying
it.
For
the
United
States
willingness
to
buy
,gold
.is
aboutthe
only
universal
yardstick
of
values
Jaft.
If
ou
wish
to
go
to
the
trouble,
you
can
value
virtually
anything
is
terms
of
gold
at
$35
.an
ounce.
The
United
.States
now
Jialds
jiearly
.OOOOOQ.-j.OOfr.worth.of
it,
of
which.$12,500,00Q,000,is.stored;at
Jvort
lnox,
Kentucky.
j
When
"Foreign
Secretary
Bevin
commented
that
this
might
be
redistributed
the
United
States
.was
jlshocked.
She
had
bought
it
and
.couldn't
see
.any
.
sense
in
redistributing
it
and
then
buying
it
back
again.
Perhaps
Mr.
Bevin
meant
something
.else.
.
The
chief
gold
producers
are
South
Af
liiea,
Can-
ada.and
the
United
States
herself,
with
'Russia
-an
-unknown
but
interesting
factor.
Canada's
pro-;
auction,
beyond
her
internal
meeds,
is
sold
to
the
United
States
to
help
settle
her
adverse
trade
bal-
ance
with
that
country.
.Just
now
.the
cr.ux
-of
the
i
gold
.problem
is
that
,no
-one
has
very
much
of
it,
i
except
the
United
States
(and
-possibly
Russia),
-and
the
second
world
war
wiped
out
or
impoverished
i
much
,of
the
productive
power
.of
the
world.
;
The
rest
of
the
-world
is
crying
to
the
.bins
;and
!
factories
of
the
Americans
for
.goods.
They
.eer-;
tainly
haven't
gold
with
which
to
pay,
sand
as
yet
!
they
haven't
the
production
to
pay
with
goods.
Britain
,aims
to
increase
her
production
.so
she
.can
;
pay
-with
goods
for
what
.she
.buys.
There
.is
Jittle
talk.of
.gold
or
the
need
of
gold
an
this;
atis
regarded
as
very
incidental
as
compared
with
production.
:
Yet
Britain
is
extremely
-loath
to
part
With
-any
of
i
the
gold
reserves
which
she
still
retains
;
for,
to
.
j-epeat,
there'-s
a.
lot
of
the
"standard"
left
-in
the
.old
t
metal
even
if
.many
.violently
disagree
.with
the
place
it
lias,
had
in
world
affairs.
