Washington, Feb. 1o.-Declaring
that foreign exchange had become
the sinister international problem"
within the last six months and unless

structing her foreign trade and would
welcome any system of international

ues that i could be accomplished
without endangering the financial
structure of the International COM
nerce or credit. The slow but steady
rise in the value of silver during the
war in spite of efforts to prevent it
more than restored the old equil-
lbrium between gold and silver, he
said. until today gold is the cheaper
metal and it.arather than silver, needb

national agreement.

ed, had made applicable to gold to-
day the same arguments that were
