CALLS'IT'MAÏDNESS Co gressntan Everett M.

Here is a sample: "Sonie weeks ago we hiad a distinguished visitor. His riante is Mr. Kuin,,. Mr. Kung is a Chinaman. of our gold. We have more than haîf of the world's supply of goid at this time.- We shook our collective heads and gave itn the Chinese équivalent of "okay." Ali agreement was made. China was to buy gold front us and pay us for this gold with Chinese. silver. Now doesn't that sounld rather silly-buying gold dollars with silver dollars? WN-hat difference what kind of dollars they are so long as you have plenty of thent? But that's the agreement. But it's not ail sà simple as that.
