Nat'l 0140-2622 T2 | SILVER DECREASE | CAUSING ALARM !Use as Currency in- Some | Countries Contributes to Hard Times, U. S, Told. BY MARK SULLIVAN. | A phase of discussion about the busi- |ness depression which is gaining me | mentum, has to do with silver as cur- |rency in countries other than the United States. The discussion began in a very small way some four months ago. It has now reached such a volume as to suggest the possibility, at least, that there may he ahead of us in America a considerable debate about | that most controversial subject—cur= | rency. = The subject is not only controversial, but infectious, especially in periods of depression. Small outbursts of discus- sion have appeared in newspapers in the Western part of the United States. A great volume of argument is coming from Europe and Asia, especially Asia, where the question is extremely acute. It is the wish of foreigners to stir up interest in America and thereby bring about international action. United States Senators and other officials in Washington receive almost frantic ap- peals to bring about an international conference. In one section of the United States, the silver-mining States, there is a particular and strong in- terest. $50,000 for Research. TUpon the initiative of Senator Oddie of Nevada, the Department of Com- merce has recommended that a fund of $50,000 be devoted o research into the silver problem. Senators King of Utah and Pittman of Nevada have taken steps which look, in the case of Senator King's purpose, to an interna- tional conference to establish a fair ratio between gold and silver. This is the measure which Willlam Jennings Bryan 40 years ago proposed for Ame; ica alone and which led to his nomin: tion for the presidency on demanding that silver have to gold expressed by the figures 16 to 1. To state the underlying facts in the simplest form, silver has fallen in value from about 80 cents per unit to about 30 cents. Silver is the chief form of currency in Asia, Mexico and some countries of South America. Because silver has fallen in value, these countries cannot buy in accustomed quantity from either the United States or Europe. Furthermore, and even more import- antly, because Asia cannot buy from Europe, Europe cannot buy from the United States. This cycle is held by the friends of silver to be a chief contribution to the present depression in America. In ad- dition, according to Senator King's argument, America’s possibility of in- creasing its exports depends upon the revaluation of silver as currency on a higher basis. The facts so far stated, omitting argu- ment and inference, are clearly ac- curate. It is a fact that Asia's power to purchase has been sensationally re- duced. China’s purchases of some staple articles from England have fallen within a year to less than a third of their normal volume. By this condi- tion, England's capacity to buy from the United States is reduced. The discussion of the subject in sountries where the subject is acute partakes of the violence that usually attends controversies about currency. One English writer says “Until Asia’s wer to purchase is restored, there can E no economic relief for Europe.” The of the Shanghai China Press nless silver as an honest medium of exchange is again restored to its posi- tion in the currency systems of the | world, the commercial collapse of Asia will extend its fell influence over the whole world and bring down in ruins the entire elaborate fabric of commer- cial and financial interdependence that | civilization has so slowly and laborious- | ly erected.” U. S. Concern Least. America is less concerned directly than other, countries. To the extent that America is an immense self-con- tained Nation, it can return to normal conditions regardless of silver curren- |cles in other countries. Also it is ap- parent that the worst harm coming from the fall of silver is behind us, since silver can hardly go farther. Itisnever- theless a fact that currency conditions in several countries are such as may in- fect America with a controversy on the neral subject of currency. The prob- ability is made greater by the fact that the quantity of gold coming out of the world's mines tends to diminish. An in- fluence working in the contrary direc- | tion is the establishment of the new In- | ternational Bank for settlements, which | should be able so to mobilize gold as to permit safely larger quantities of paper currency based on gold.

An Argentine post office inspector reported that the addressee was unknown and that the package had been placed in the lost parcel deposit. “I am very sorry we cannot return it,” he wrote, “but it has been entire- ly eaten by rats.” However, the lost package con- tained 15 revolvers and the New York post office doubts the re- volver consumption of rodents. But the Argentine post office in- spector insists and there the mat- ter rests. (Copyright. 1930, by North American Newspaper Alliance.) STAR, WASHINGTO Premier Returns to Athens.
