It is felt here, however, that much can be done to revive the immense trade that once was carried on be- tween the two countries. In the fiscal year 1929, Canada bought goods from her southern neighbor to the value of $868,012,229 and sold the United States goods to the value of $499,- 612,145. The trade between the two countries has been diminishing for several years.

The Thomas amendment would also permit free coinage of silver and ee r. The proposal, first specific plan to be advocated by senate inflation- ists, was submitted as a last section of the sweeping farm bill and will not be voted on until the price-lift- ing and mortgage refinancing provi- sions are decided. Is Not Mandatory It does not make inflation man- datory but authorizes the president to expand the currency either by is- suance of federal reserve notes un- der the “greenback” currency law of 1862; by fixing the ratio of silvers value to gold and permitting free coinage of the metal at that value; or by fixing the gold content of the launched next Monday at 4 p. m., with | doa; ir.
