If the country’s financial affaires were sound, the dollar would be, in fact, "as go as gold,” and ‘foreign apeculators would not.be encouraged to cash in, But apparently as they ‘see it, gold prices may be increased and now is the time to accumulate as much of the precious, wetal as possible, ,. ee ’ ~ \ via A : bow 5 We can best discourage these dangerous manipulations abroad by putting our financial house in order at home,, Lack of restraint in spending has helped create the problem and last week's legislation does little to solve it, We must balance our budget to renew confidence in the doliar otherwise we will see our gold : supply dwindle even further. We must yecognize the fact that the gold backing of our currency has been a disciplinary factor in the financial management of the country. Without it, we could well be cutting the anchor, This legislation takes away a reasonable safe- guard on ‘the expansion of the money supply. Throughout, history, "printing pregs.. money” has been tempting for some governments. History also shows that, once started down this road, countries find themselves with a one-way ticket to infla- tion and‘ economic paralysis. : AUTOMOBILE KEYS ee Oe eg In another bill considered last week, the House took needed action to deal with the increasg in automobile thefts throughout the country. A nationwide average of 1800 care are stolen each day with financial losses amounting in millions of dollars. Automobile thieves have had their work made easier for them by the ready ~ availability of aster keys to car and truck ignitions, doors, and trunks. Advertisements in national magazines proudly announce that for $10, master kevs can be bought to fit all Ford, Chrysler and General Motors products ' i > since 1940, A year ago, I introduced legislation to stop the traffic in these keys, Last week, the House agreed to somewhat different legislation which severely limits the use of the mails for the shipment of such master keys. Although I was also a co-sponsor of this legislation, I am convinced that we must take stronget action, Until that time, however, this is a Rhod start in dealing with a national iesue. , — a pCi lowe b- 943 -19K; i Some Pe Pita Re e ae aS =?
