RESOLUTION ON THE GOLD SIT
UATION
to be submitted to
THE HONORABLE ANDREW W
MELLON. SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY
by
MEMBERS OF THE l\ S. SENATE
WHEREAS. Gold is the standard
of value and the basis of all credit,
and its production is vitally import
ant to the financial and commer
cial life of the nation and of the
world: and
WHEREAS. The production of
gold in the United States has de
clined from $101,035,000 in 1915
to $49,509,000 in 1920, a decline in
excess of 50 per cent., due to the!
fact that the price of gold is fixed
by the government, while the cost
of producing gold has greatly in
creased: and
WHEREAS, The consumption of
gold in manufactures and the arts
increased from $37.S20.000 in 1315
to $75,490,000 in 1919, an increase
of 100 per cent., due to the excessive
demand for luxuries and the fact
that the government has been sup
plying the Industrial consumers of
gold with the metal at the pre-war
price; and
WHEREAS, The normal process
of deflation will not be sulHcienll.v
rapid to prevent the further decline
in the production of gold and the
wastage of developed gold ore re
sources. due to the flooding' of the
mines: and
WHEREAS, The gold standard
cannot be permanently maintained
without gold production, and the
nation is confronted today by the
prospect of a heavy drain upon the
monetary gold reserve which will
necessitate a still further curtail
ment of credit; and
WHEREAS. Representative Louis
T. McFadden, Chairman of the
Banking and Currency Committee,
has introduced a bill, H. R. 5025,
in the Sixty-seventh Congress, which
provides for the maintenance of the
normal gold production of the Uni
ted States by an ewitable adjust
ment between the producer and the
Industrial consumer of gold, and
WHEREAS. H. R. 5025, contain
ing a provision to levy an excise, in
accordance with the Constitution
has been introduced in the House of
Representatives and referred to the
Ways and Means Committee there
of; and
WHEREAS. H. R. 5025 involving
both the policy and administration
of the Treasury Departmeuf, Mas
been referred by Chairman Fordney
to the Secretary of the Trtuatvy for
an opinion; now. therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the undersign
ed. members of the United States
Senate, urge upon the Secretary of
the Treasury the significance of his
reply to Chairman Fordney in de
termining the status of the gold
mining industry, which is vitally
important to the maintenance of the
gold standard and the financial se
curity of the nation; and bo it far
ther
RESOLVED. That if upon the an
alysis of the Secretary of the Treas
ury reasons cannot be definitely as
signed for opposing tho provisions
of H. R. 5025, the Secretary is re
quested to endorse the same in or
der to expedite the action of the
House and permit the bill to lie con
sidered by the Senate: nnd be it
further
RHSOLVED, That if the Secre
tary of the Treasury has specific
reasons for opposing the provisions
of H. K. 5025, ho is hereby urgent
ly requested to formulate a propos
al for enactment by Congress: first,
to protect tho gold mining industry
from destruction, which is a serious
matter. Irrespective of the fact that
its operation is necessary as the
basis ut our monetary system; and
second, in anticipation of the heavy
foreign drain upon our gold reserve,
to provide for augmenting said re
serve from sources of domestic pro
duction and thereby lessen the need
for tho further and extensive cur
tailment of credit which otherwise
would result.
Signed by the twenty-two Senators
referred to in the accompanying let
ter.
