Monefary Smliiy Threat- ened by Commies s Given Urging SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 29—{®— The Western Division of the Am-| erican Mining Congress has been requested to help preserve the na- | tion's monetary stability ‘“against the avowed intent of our Communist enemies to debase currencies.” { To accomplish ‘this purpose, the | United States should avoid deficit | financing, delegates to the Congress convention and exposition were in- | formed in a resolution. | The industry leaders yesterday made strong recommendations re- garding the nation’s gold standard.
