BILLION DOLLARS
MAY Be MELTED

WASHINGTON, April 10.-Melting
into bullion OF not more than
100000 silver dollars now in the
treasury for sale and export to pay
trade balances, and re-purchase of
silver at 81 an ounce, is proposed in
an administration bill introduced to-
day by Senator Pittman. as an emer-
gency war measure. Silver certifi
Gates would be withdrawn from circu-
lation as the dollars are taken from
the treasury and federal reserve bank
notes Of new 81 and 50 denominations
substituted.
If enacted, the measure virtually
would fix standard price for silver
at 81 an ounce, several cents above
the present market, and stabilize the
world market, since the United States
produces almost half Of the total. The
bill also is intended to stimulate silver
production, and to use the treasurys
reserve stocks of that metal instead
of gold, to settle this country's COM
mercial trade balances in the Orient
and elsewhere.
The bill would permit the secretary
of the treasury to fix the selling
price of the governments silver, but
it is assumed this would be not less
than 81.
The treasury now holds 100000
silver dollars, containing about &c.,
0O0, 900 ounces of silver. In with
drawing silver certificates based on
this coin, effort probably would be
made to take bills of denominations
of IS and more, leaving the 81 and 50
bills which are now in great demand.
To guard against contracting circula-
ton, however, Senator Pittman's bill
would provide for issuance of federal
reserve bank notes, of which only
$11,67 900 are in circulation in small
er denominations than the present IS.
minimum.
Secretary McAdoo wrote to Senator
Pittman supporting the bill as a war
measure. although he suggested there
might be wide difference of opinion
on the best method of replacing of
silver certificates with other cur
rency.
