Friday s average Washington special tons there is a staggering implication in the agreement among the United states and its major Western allies to create nearly billion Worth of paper Gold in a three year period. By pumping that much additional Money into inter National reserves the big Powers arc saying one thing very clearly they Are not counting on significant amounts of real Gold coming into official reserves during this period. Instead the . Has finally persuaded recalcitrant. Europeans that the Only sensible and assured Way of increasing inter National liquidity is by a Mun Trade asset paper Yold or As it is technically known. Special drawing rights another Way of saying All this is that the pressure for an increase in the official Price of Gold has been removed. The Gold bugs who have been lobbying for a Price increase to or s70 As uie Quick add easy Way to boost reserves have been dealt a blow from which they arc unlikely to recover. The mythology that Gold and Only Gold is the one immutable yardstick for the Money system has been cracked As never before. Edward m. Bernstein the Brilliant economist who helped set up the inter National monetary system at Bretton Woods 25 years ago says that the decision to Issue Saks is in some ways More important than Bret ton Woods itself. In an interview with the Washington Post or. Bern Mutual funds attract More investors Toronto up the Cana Rhian Mutual funds association i reports that the number of Mutual fund shareholders has increased by 36.000 March 31. To a record 750.000 compared j with 664.000 at the same time last year. Assets at Market of the 41 pm a members totalled compared with s2.-i a year ago but Down i from March 31, 1969, when As sets reached a record 86g.437.450. At the end of june member funds had s980.117.538 invested in Canadian common stocks compared with at die same time i 1968. Foreign securities totalled sl.289.741.419 at the end of a Quiej compared w i t h is. 184.697.836 last Vear. Stein said that the sirs Are much More than a form of Reserve credit. They Are a fiduciary Reserve asset created by the authority of government acting through the International monetary fund and they will be issued at a regular rate to meet the trend of need for reserves. Furthermore the sirs Are a final Reserve asset. Defined in terms of Gold but not convertible into Gold. That is unprecedented. As time goes on sirs will comprise a steadily growing proportion of serves. For the first time in history the International monetary system will have a National Means of provid ing adequate reserves for an expanding world eco the agreement on sirs is a tribute to the foresight of one Man in particular former United states Secre tary Henry h. Fowler who began the Long struggle six years ago. And who today can claim a Victory despite great obstacles. The arduous negotiating hours of or. Fowler s Deputy Fred doming and of or. Deming s successor Paul Volcker. Should not be Over looked either. It is True of course that european conservatives succeeded in limiting the first issuance period to three years instead of the five years the . Had preferred. And they whittled Back the recent . Proposal for a bigger Batch of sirs initially. But it is inconceivable that anything except a renewal of the plan probably in greater volume will take place at the end of three years. Meanwhile it is Likely that an agreement will be steel companies taken Over sax Francisco a the Park milling co. Which operates in the Western . And Canada has announced acquisition of two Nevada steel firms. They Are the great Basin steel co. Sparks nev., and the Taylor steel co. Las vegas. With aggregate Gross sales last year of s3.300.000. New York a Mol i Oil corp. Says it had record net earnings in the first half of 1969 of or j2.16 a share up 6.1 per cent Over the 000 or s2.04 a share earned in inc comparable period last year. Second Quarter earnings Rose to or s1.03 a share from s100.200.000 or 99 cents a share in the 1968 period. Concluded with South Africa major producer of real Gold w h i c h will let s m 11 amounts trickle into serves at s35 an ounce. That bookkeeping Price will apply to the near 539 billion in Gold held As Money reserves out of an Over All total of billion including currencies. With a floor Price thus assured the South africans should be Happy to sell the bulk of their production into the free Market for what Ever Premium it will bring. After some years of operation there will be a substantial amount of sirs standing alongside Gold Dol Lars and other currencies in International reserves. The important thing will be that Gold will represent a Stead ily declining but still big fraction of the total. This step toward tile de emphasis of Gold is a Triumph for rational think ing Over outworn taboos. Back in 1963, in Frank furl. Germany. President Kennedy said that the free nations of the world must take control of our Mone tary problems if these prob lems arc not to take control of today with the agree ment on sirs. That vision which will reduce depend ence on Gold and in the process strengthen the Dollar is closer to a reality. Lower. Oct.
