the government plans to purchase at least S15O,OOO,OOO at that figure. This ] appears reasonable, in view of the fact that our government has placed an embargo on gold ex- ports and will require large quantities of silver to meet foreign obligations, especially in the orient.
 I asked Mir. Baker particularly about the effect of the new agree ment with Mexico, which removes the embargo that required 25 per cent of the silver imported from Mexico to be returned to that country. On its face, the agreement indicated that Mexican importations might be increased 25 per cent. MT. Baker was emphatic in asserting that the Mexican agree ment would not affect adversely the plan explained above. Its only pos sible effect would be, he said, to de crease the amount of withdrawals of silver fro mthe reserve and that the government would be prepared to buy all the silver that the United States could produce for long time.
 A day or so after the silver meet ing, we had appeared before the war industries board in connection with fixing the price of lead. Our position at that meeting was that the estab- lishment of a maximum price on lead would accomplish no good for the pro ducers with present and immediate prospectivel market conditions. An swering a question, we said that If a maximum were fixed it should not be less. than 8 cents a pound. We pre- sented data to support that price. The board announced a few days later that it had been decided not to fix a price at present.
 The same board held meetings Jan uarv IT to consider copper and zinc prices. The copper price of 23 1-2 cents, previously established, was con firmed until June 1. No announce ment with regard to zinc was made at the meeting, but it was subsequently announced, February IA, that price of 12 cents for grade A, f. O. b. St. Louis; 15 cents for sheet and IA cents for plate, had been set, subject to re- adjustment June 1, producers not to decrease wages meanwhile. We had asked for a price of 19 1-2 cents for I grade A and 10 cents for prime West Iern, in case maximum prices were set.
 To sum up the results of all our activities, it is necessary, as far as 1917 taxes are concerned, to proceed under the present law and regulations. We are assured by Commissioner Ro- per that our industry shall have abso- llutely just treatment as compared with other industries and he has invited our cooperation to that end.
 There is hope to have our amend- ment taken up and considered in the latter part of April or early in May, MT. Kitchin told me. He also told me, to illustrate the difficulty of the pres ent situation, that he has before him eighteen or twenty amendments desir- ed by the treasury department for ad- ministrative purposes but will not pre- sent them on account of the situation in the senate.
 Other senators are known to have amendments to offer and the effect of opening the present law in the senate would probably precipitate discussion that would last for weeks or months and keep the entire revenue system in the air until finally disposed of.

REVIEW MADE Of
BREWERS ACTIONS
ciai Commenting on Appeal of
Liquor Men, Recalls Activities.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 14.@-In the
Los Angeles papers >of last week APP
Epeared half-page advertisement un-
der the caption; An Appeal by
American Brewers to the American
People" in which much is said of the
patriotism of the American brewers.
In commenting on these advertise
ments, DIR. u. NJ. Gambler superinten-
dent of the California AntiSaloon
league, said:
Patriotism is best known by the
acts of those who profess il. 1t is
just little over year ago since
the food administration bill was be-
fore congress, and at that time the
dry forces of the nation were insist
ing upon the Incorporation into that
bill of a clause prohibiting the manu-
faeture of beer. A majority of both
houses OF congress were in favor of
that prohibition. And II was being
actively urged by the AntiSaloon
league.
I Just at the time when the fight be-
came warmest and some of the lead
lers for the wet forces announced that
they would hold the bill up indef-
niteiy il the dry proposition was not
taken from It, President Wilson adj
dressed a letter to the Anti-Saloon
league, in which he set forth that the
+ food administration bill WAS greatly
needed. and that delay in it's passage
MAS seriously EMBARRASSING the con-.
daGt Of 1he war For that reason has

/ duty. not Ia urge the matter further
lat that particular time, Although
ma ortiy of the members of congress
were known to be in favor of the
measure the Anti-Saioon league felt
that the proper thing TO do under the
circumstances was to support the
president in the national emergency;
land accordingly, the insistence OF the
/ dry people was withdrawn.
I Now the president appealed to the
majority to uphold the hands of the
administration for reasons affecting
( the national peril. IT seems signifi-
cant that he did not appeal TO the
minority who had announced that by
hlibuStering tactics. they would DELAY
to the last hour legislation seriously
needed. If the brewers were as patri-
otto as they would have us believe. il
would seem that President Wilson
would have known ii and would have
appealed to them in the same way az
the leaders of the dry movement That
he did rot do so seems to show most
clearly that he knew. probably better
than anyone else that patriotism car
ficd no appeal to the brewers where
their dollars are concerned, and that
II ne was to have support 1t must be
from some other source
'1t is from instances such as this
thar the American people have gagged
the patriotism of American brewers.
II patriotism had actuated them in the
conduct Of their business there would
be no need for national advertising
campaigns to ten the people how pa
ironically they have always supported
the government"
