Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

The decline of the monetary reserves of central banks since August 2004 suggests a consensus that the U.S. dollar's role as the world reserve currency is coming to an end because the United States now consistently produces far less than it consumes from the rest of the world.

That's what Hugo Salinas Price, president of the Mexican Civic
Association for Silver, writes tonight, elaborating that the IOUs
being created by the U.S. government increasingly are being used
by foreign governments to purchase gold, a monetary asset without
such counterparty risk.

Salinas Price writes: "The U.S. government thought that by
manipulating the price of gold to keep it low and
driving it down when it has risen a bit, it would dissuade
the world from investing in gold.
It has not realized that it has been dealing not with simple and
ignorant private investors but with intelligent individuals who
can easily see through the charade mounted by U.S. authorities.
The low price of gold has been an excellent incentive to investment
on the part of the Russians, Chinese, and other Orientals.

"There is a constant flow of gold from West to East as China, and
probably other nations as well, want to divest themselves of dollars
and obtain gold, which is a physical asset independent of any
political entity.

"The Chinese central bank has distributed its claims on dollar balances,
earned through export trade, to various entities, which will be doing
whatever they can to obtain tangible assets around the world
with their dollar balances.
Perhaps the Chinese are colonizing Central Africa and buying up its
agricultural land and mineral deposits with dollars they earned on
their exports to the United States? Quite ironic that the United States
should advance the interests of China in this way!"

Salinas Price's commentary is headlined
"The World's Monetary Reserves and the End of an Era" and
