SILVER CONTINUES
 UPWARD MOVE

The marked upward trend in silver started last week con- tinued through the present week. Tuesday the white met al reached 37R cents an ounce on the National Metal Ex- change in New York. This is the highest figure attained by the metal since September, 1880 and was estimated to have increased the purchasing power of one billion persons or practically half of the worlds population-by more than $1,275, 100000. Figures on the increase in valuation are based on estimated world supplies of 15,000,000,O00 ounces and it is impossible to arrive at an accurate figure. Of the total amount, it is be- lieved 10,000,00O,000 ounces or about two-thirds, is held in China and India. Much of this huge supply is hoarded by the natives of those countries. The advance increased their pur- chasing power for the time at least in corresponding ratio.
 Silver touched an all-time low of 2534 cents an ounce on February 16 last, hence the price this week represented an advance of more than II cents. The highest figure ever attained by the metal was on November 25, 1919, when it reached an all-time high of $1.3712 an ounce.
 Various reasons have been advanced for the recent ad- vances. It appears that the principal factor behind the up- ward motion has been a gener- al improvement in commodity prices. This it is explained, has tended to set off short cov- ering in silver markets of the world, the principal of which is in London. The rise in the latter market has been trans ferred to the New York mar ket. It is also said that a large number of small traders have been taking a flyer" in the silver market. Their buying made the stock market go up in 1928 and 1929 and is now having the same effect on sil- yer, according to close Observ- CTS.
 The view is also held that as a result of public participation in silver transactions of late the professional traders have lost control of the market. II is believed in some quarters that the market has risen too rapidly and is therefore due for a decline on technical grounds.
 With the sharp advance sil- yer properties listed on the Vancouver Stock Exchange took a new life and trading i'll shares has been the briskest in a long period.
 A Vancouver report said some of the more optimistic Eastern brokers predicted re- turn to 50-cent silver, passing their view on reports of inter- national action for a confer ence on silver prices.
 Still another view is that the Asiatic outlook has an import ant bearing. Observers are pointing out that China and Japan, in the event of war, will need silver to buy goods and pay troops, and the few bupIrad ro;ll;np oupoas avail

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, July IT,
Authorities of three republics. Argen-
tina. Uruguay and Paraguay, appear
helpless in the face of student strikes.
which have been in progress from three
to five months and which they are un-
able to solve.
In Asuncion, CAPT al Of Paraguay,
striking medical students have seized
and been IN complete control OF the
cityS largest hospital for week, the
chief OF police seriously informing the
government that his efforts to bring
about settlement have failed.
The federal intervenor representing
the provisional government I'm the prov
ince of BuenoS Aires has sent q long
formal report 20 the Argentina minister
of public instruction explaining that
the student strike prevents Midwinter
examinations. He ascribes responsible
ity for the strike to political agitators,
because the students are demanding the
lifting of the state of siege and the re-
turn Of constitutional government.
In Uruguay. both university and high
school students have been on strike so
long that they have run out of enthusi-
asm. Neither the newspapers nor the
, authorities are paving any more atten-
ton to them, and it is apparent that
the strike will go on indefinitely.

Some homes are full Of fears-fear
of what people will say fear OF bur-

Parents should teach child enough
about danger to enable him to safe
guard himself, without filling his mind
with unnecessary fears and anxietieS.
Never frighten a child. Do not teach
children to be afraid to walk under

to expect misfortune when mirror

Fear is contagious, but, fortunately
so, too Is courage"

any Senator or Representative. I
have the faith in the American people
that such q day will not come"
The cities have made no call for Red
Cross or Federal relief. = The Red Cross
Is adequately carrying forward the
needs for any charitable distribution Of
food and other supplies in the drought
areas In considering the adequacy Of
the relief given by the Red Cross in
such areas, 1t Is well to understand the
Red Cross system. In each county af-
fected is a chapter of the Red Cross
organized, offlcered and conducted by
local people Of standing. That chapter
exhaustS its own resources before 1t
calls upon the national organization for
help. Every such call upon the nation
al organization from any chapter any
where in the United States has been
met 100 per cent. The character and
extent Of the relief to be afforded is
not determined by the national organi-
zation, but Is determined by the local
chapter whose officials are in close con-
tact with the needs of the individuals
to be relieved There is abundant and
convincing testimony that wherever
needy persons have been located and
would accept relief, such relief has been
given them, SUFFICIENT to maintain them
in them in the standard to which they
have been accustomed to maintain
themselves. Such is the adequacy of
the relief through the Red Cross and
private agencies for food, clothing and
medical care.

the conditions Of governmental de-
moralization outstanding at that time
in the nations relieved, but that the
expenditure was principally q loan
rather than a gift. OF the 500, 900 900
appropriated, approximately $84,000,000
was covered by obligations of European
governments for repayment, $4,000, 900
was unexpended and only about SILL
was chiefly used in the feeding of about
100000 war orphans, gathered to-
gether in great camps. Furthermore,
the appropriation was handled by the
United States Grain Corporation, as
agent of the American Relief Admins
tratfon, and was of substantial aid in
providing additional markets for Amer
lean products in time Of severe price
depression.
Mention Is also made of the alleged
appropriation of 100000 for the
benefit Of Soviet Russia. The fact is
about $19,000,000 of money of the
United States was appropriated, which
was matched by $20,000,000 in gold by
the Soviet government, and the PreSi-
dent raised from private sources in this
country about $4,000, 900 more. The
Russian government and other agencies
assumed the expense of distribution,
thus leaving substantially the entire
proceeds of about SIT 900 900, of which
only $19,000,0 900 was from the Federal
Treasury, to be expended in this coun-
try at a time when the price of Amer
lean farm produce was very low and
the American farmer was aided by this
transaction.
To keep a correct understanding Of
the situation, it is, In short, to be re-
membered that an appropriation from
the Federal Treasury for charitable
distribution of food and other sup
plies to our own people has been OPP
posed not through lack of sympathy
for the needs of our people, but through
belief that those needs can be and
are adequately met through other
agencies in this country, and that for
the Federal Government to undertake
policy of such free distribution of
food and supplies would not only
threaten the existence of the Red Cross
and other great relief agencies in this
country, an eventuality that I think
no one could contemplate without great
misgivings, but would commit this Gov
eminent to practically a sole response
bility for such relief measures, and
launch us into the dole system, from
which no country once committed nKlds
it easy to withdraw. Attacks upon the
President have been at times vitriolic,
but so were attacks upon Washington.

This statement of the President Feb
ruary stated the fundamentals Of the
question as they appear to him:
Comedies Others Anxiety.
II will accredit to those who advo-

willing to pledge myself that if the
time should ever come that the volun-
tary agencies of the country, together
with the local and State governments

country, I will ask the aid of every re-

cause I would no more see starvation

question Of further relief holding up the
whole legislative business Of the Ma
ton, compromise was imperative and
sensible. Through consultation with
the President and with Senator Robin
son, a further relief item was agreed
upon which has proven to be the key
to the deadlock. This paragraph was
accepted by the Senate and House con-
ferees upon the Interior bill and today
has been approved by the Senate and
House. The President by his signature
has now made It law.
Scope Of New Fund.
This paragraph provides q new appro-
priation of $20,O00,00O which may be
used by the Secretary of Agriculture to
make advances or loans for the purpose
of assisting in forming local agricultural
credit co-operatives, live stock loan com.
panies or like organizations, or increas-
ing the capital stock of such corpora
tions as are qualified to do business with
Federal intermediate credit banks, and
also to make advances to farmers for
crop production and for further agri-
cultural rehabilitation. Such loans to Q
farmer may of course be used for any
purpose pertaining to crop production
or agricultural rehabilitation. It is q
loan and not an act Of charity and not
contrary TO- the principles enumerated
by the President in his message of
December 2 and his attitude since that
time as endorsed by the House. This
provision rounds out and completes a
vast national relief program in which
the Federal Government has taken the
leadership and a great part, but Is CO.
operating with and not interfering with
the efforts of State and local govern
mentS and the generous giving of our
citizens through efficient existing organi-
cations.
