We are expanding war industries at a dizzy speed, while trying desper- ately to find markets for our raw foods. Some years ago we began buy- ing gold 'at $35 an ounce. A great influx of gold to America started in 1935, when we held only 35 per- cent of the world’s visible supply. The war has accented the flow. In the first four months of this year, we ladled another billion dollars worth into our treasure chests. Says a department of commerce survey: “If the rate of inflow continues . . the gold holdings of the United States at the end of 1940 will approximate $21,000,000,000, or 72 percent of the world stocks of $29,200,000,000.” To the economist who can read between the lines, that means two ithings.
