A new feature of the proposed con-
ference if that it shall not be restrict
ed to European gold standard coun-
| tries, but shall include South Ameri-
cand and oriental silver standard coun-
tries. Moreover invitations TO the con-
ference are to contain the declaration
of the United States that the purpose
of the conference shall be the estab-
lshment and maintenance of an in
transitional ratio, which with specific
declarat on added that if such a ratio
cannot be agreed on it will be a pur-
pose of the United States to adopt q
single standard and that standad not
gold, but silver.

as yet advocated in congress even by
radical silver men, Chandler thinks
the policy of the gold-standard coun-
tries not now trading extensively with
the western world can be forced.
