WASHINGTON Wl Nationalization
of gold by Itself, If the government
takes this step, won't change the
value of the dollar bill In your pocket.
Such action Is distinct from a gold
devaluation of tho dollar. .
There still will be as much gold
'behind United . States currency as
there la today. That figuro Is more
than 200,000,000 ounces and at Its
legal value of 20.07 an ounce, the
gold is worth moro than $4,000,000,
000. Nor would nationalization mean a
largo physical movement of gold be
cause most of It already is held In
tho treasury. Tho big chance would
bo In the title to the yellow metal.
Gold reserves of tho twelve federal
rcservo banks stand aO $3,660,000,000,
or moro thou threo quarters of the
nation's monetary stock.
konie experts believe this gold
should bo nationalized, that Is, Its
title transferred to tho government:
so that devaluation if and when It
comos would profit only the gov
ernment.' , .
Devaluation would be reducing the
amount of gold theoretically In a
gold dollar. The present gold dol
lar Is 23.22 grains of fine gold. On
this basis, it takes 20.87 to buy one
ounce of gold. ,
If tho gold content of the dollar i
were cut In half as President Roose- !
volt has the power to cut It, the dol- j
lur value oC gold would be doubled.
Instead or being S20.67 an ounce It ,
would be $41.34. ' -
In other words; the United States i
supply of monetary gold, now exceed- j
lng 200,000,000 oiuvces, would remain i
ttie same but in dollars It would be )
worth twice- as much, or more than i
SALT LAKE CITY VP) The five-
year reign, of the University of Utah
as football champion of the Rocky
Mountain conference appears to be
nearlng Its end.
Forced this season to share the
titlo with two other members of the
conference. Utah's prospects for next'
season do not seem tot be any too
glowing for the retention of even that
slender .claim. . : . ... '.
Several players whose names havo
shone brightly in Rocky Mountain
football nnnnls for the last three
years played their last game for the
Utes the past season, and the sopho

large part of his first-string team,

pecially high caliber.;
