HELP FOR SILVER
TRADE IS PLANNED
Senators Will Push Programs
for Restoration of
Industry.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

Restoration Of silver to its former
affiuent status is much discussed topic
in the Senate.
While presently relegated to the side
lines in favor Of emergency" legisla-
ton, the metal nevertheless has been
given much thought. with indications
that considerable pressure will be
brought to bear on its uplift when the
present docketS are less congested with
preferred issues.
Already Senator Smoot of Utah has
introduced a bill providing that foreign
governments pay their debts to the
united States in silver at the current
market price. 1t was referred to the
FINANCE Committee of the Senate.
Object of Measure
The Senator, in advancing his meas
ure, said it was intended to relieve the
distressed conditions of silver" and
that he hoped there would be an in
ternational silver conference Eng
land and France will sooner or later
come to the conviction that a confer
ence Will be TO their advantage as we'll
as that of the world" he said
Senator Dill of Washington has also
introduced bill which would create a
monetary conference committee of nine
the President the Senate and the House.
to meet with representatives of other
governments which the United States
may invite, for the purpose of agree
ing upon silver as monetary basis.
Inc measure, also referred TO the
FINANCE Committee. would provide for
It's use in world exchange and for paw
ment OF debts in silver so long as those
countries continue to retain silver as a
standard of value for money.
Senator Dill said all countries should
pay their debts in silver. as otherwise II
would cause dumping into the United
States. We should enlarge our cur
rency system to provide a broader basis
1or the money of the world" he said.
Senator P1ttman Of Nevada declares
silver could be restored to a normal
price OF so or G5 cents an ounce through
the action of Governments in raising
Its standard of value. He said such a
conference is desired by Canada. japan,
Australia, Mexico. China and countries
OF South America. and that such a
conference should agree on the follow
ing program: Maintenance of silver re-
serves, establishment of a standard Of
issue and fineneSs for fractional silver
coins to facilitate their exchange: es-
tabllshment of an exchange value for
silver money in settlement of trade bal
anceS with silver standard countries,
which would remove the uncertainty in
silver values and remove the chief cause
against credit transactions between
countries, where there is a violent ex-
change f1uctuation
The program, he said. should also es-
tabllsh an embargo by these countries
against imports of silver from coun-
tries not participating IN the agree
ment.

Steel Production Lower.

Steel ingot production this week is

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 23-The
bond market today was irregularly low
err but made some show of strength
Trading was in moderate volume.
Ihe opening was steady. With Con-
gress adjourning for the holidays, after
having approved President Hoover's
debt moratorium by large majority,
with the Young Plan Committee re-
port published and generally labeled
inadequate, and with the Manchuria an
situation again at an acute stage, the
market turned its attention to matters
closer hand A number of new divi-
dend omissions and reduction and the
rejection of the wage cut compromise
by the Canadian railroad unions pro-
vided material for a bearish view.
The action of the Canadian unions,
it is understood here, follows a tacit
agreement with the American rail
unions not to do anything until the
American negotiations on a wage cut
are concluded. But rail bonds were
still in disfaVor and moved generally
lower
New York Central SIS were off about
3 points. Losses of l to points mark
ed all classes Of carrier bonds, includ-
ing Allegheny Corporation 5s, Atlantic
Coast Line As, Baltimore G. Ohio AIS.

434s, Chicago Great Western As, st.
Paul S. Rock Island refunding 4s, Erie
consolidated As, Nickel Plate 5l2s and

Maryland 5i2s.
Industrials were irregular. United
States Rubber IS advanced another Al,
points. thus completing an aggregate
gain of 9 points in two days to a level
II points above the recent low. The
company is understood to be buying its
own obligations. American l. G. Chem

and few other industrials were up
fractionally. But many Others including
Vanadium SIS, Standard Oil of New York
4 4l2S. Warner Brothers Pictures IS
Lorillard Is and Chile Copper SIS sold
lower.
Domestic issues were firm and foreign
descriptions were strong at the open
ing.
I e majority for the debt moratorium
in the Senate's vote was larger than ex-
pected. There was moderate buying of
German issues. Young Plan SIPS and
Dawes Preparations Is were both frac-
tlonally higher. British s. 2s and other
Europeans were marked up a point or
more. South Americans were firm.
japanese bonds continued heavy be-
cause Of the serious situation in Man
cnuria.
In the domestic list most railroad
bonds opened unchanged, with moder-
ately heavy turnover in many of
them, notably Chicago Great Western

types. Utilities and industrials were
