Dr. Arsaaps Fla. for Rs'sias the Price Of
the Metal.
BERLIN. April 12.-Dr. Arendts plan Of rails
ing the silver price By intern asional action was
submitted to the Imperial Currency Commits
sion to-day. It proposes that England. Ger
many. France. and the United States
shall agree to receive and keep. free
OF charge silver bars Weighing i've
Kilograms each. and shall issue gratuitously
certificates against the same. these certificates
to be exchangesble for the bars. The price Of
the bars would DO fixed annually By majority
Of the conference Of the States concerned.
whose representatives would meet every Oc-
tober At tho conference each country would
have one vote per million Of its population.
The price for the first year would be the
average price In London, during the three
months between the ratification and execu-
tion Of the treaty. and this price would constl.
tute the minm um throughout the duration OF
tho treaty. The agreement would be made for
i've years. although 1t might be annulled on
certain conditions.
Tho German newspapers regard this plan as
dangerous They say that under its provi-
sions Germans loss, which DIR. Arendt esti-
mates as about Sl2OO0.OOO ct most would be
too great.
