MIX-UP KEEPS TALK
BY HOOVER OFF AIR

A mixup in time schedules kept
President Hoovers address opening the
Congress Of the International Chamber
Of Commerce of the air yesterday
morning, Harry C. Butcher, director of
the Washington Office of the Columbia
Broadcasting System, explained in a
statement last night
The broadcast was to have started at
10:45 O'Clock, five minutes before the
time set for the start Of the Presidents
address.
owing TO misunderstanding be-
tween chamber officials and those in
charge OF music, one number, THE
Star Spangled Banner" which was to
have been played before President
Hoover was introduced by Mr.. Silas H.
Strawn, inadvertently was omitted"
Butcher said. This brought Mr.
StrawnS Introductory remarks at 10:42
instead OF 1916 as planned. His in
PRODUCTION was simply: Ladies and
gentlemen, the President of the United
States and required less than 10 sec
onds. bringing the President to the
microphone at about 1912, nearly 8
minutes before the operators were
scheduled to get the air
Every effort was made TO get the
lines reversed in time to pick up the
beginning OF Mr.. Hoovers address, but
the time required for the Introductory
remarks was so short that the Presi-
dent had begun talking before the re-
yersal was made
when the lines we're reversed, Mr.
Hoover was we'll into his address. To
begin broadcasting his speech then
would have been discourteous.
"A letter Is being forwarded to Mr..
Hoover regretting the incident and ex-
planning the circumstances as above
noted"

FARLEY ON SILVER
PROPOSED IN c. OF c.
World Conference Advocated
by Japan's Ship Magnate,
Kenkichi Kagami.

A world conference on the sta5iltza-
ton Of silver Is one Of the probable out
comes of the sessions Of the Interna-
tional Chamber of Commerce In prog
ress here this week.
The Executive Committee and the
Council Of the International Chamber
have already approved a resolution call
ing upon the nations to start converse
tons on silver sterilization, and 1t viii
come before the whole conference for a
vote by the end of the week.
A prominent advocate OF silver con-
ference as a measure to combat the
worldwide economic depression is the
energetic and brilliant japanese SNIP
building magnste, Kenkichi kagani !,
known as 1.-The Rockefeller 'Ct Japan
Silas H Strawn, president OF the OnlCe9
States Chamber Of Commerce, eSpress5o
the ouinion in an interview that TINS
country probably would be willing TO
take psrt in a silver conference initiated
by some other nation or international
organization. -,S
Mr.. Kagami points out that world
markets have been disturbed Dy the
decline in the value Of silver. rms oe-
cline has had a depressing erect on
trade in China, India, Mexico, the
Dutch East Indies, Siam, 1ndo-Chlna
and Persia and has reduced the pur-
chasing power of these countries LOT
the industrial products OF Europe ana
America, as we'll as of Japan.
Denomination of silver by India and
other countries since the war and the
adoption of the gold standard have re-
duced the value of silver and the price
has been further depressed by over
production. Mr.. Kagami noted that
one great problem is the dinculty OF
controlling the production OF silver as
a by-product, since a large amount OF
silver placed on the market annually
originates in the working OF copper,
lead and zinc mines. The sale OF sill
yer enables copper and zinc factories
to lower their production costs.
In the last analysis. any scheme Tor
the control Of the price Of silver must
be considered in conjunction with what
monetary policy may best be adoptco
by China, Mr.. Kagami said. China, a
great potential market for the worlds
goods, still retains silver monetary
base. Chinas economic situation has
been aggravated by the prevention OF
the free flow of silver into her interior
provinces as a result Of internal strife.

ter of public expenditures default and
reputation Of public obligations cannot
be much longer avoided"
Turning to the almost complete de-
moralzaticn OF agriculture" Traylor
declared the farmers have suffered their
greatest damage, in all probability, be-
cause they have been induced to be-
licve that in Government action there
was some magic wand which would lift
off their shoulders the responsibility of
hard work, thrift and economy"
Overproduction for the domestic re-
uuirements, closure Of outside channels
Of trade by mounting tariff walls and
too much credit were held out as the
primary troubles of agriculture. The
first need Of the farmer, as the speaker
saw it, Is that they at least produce
those things necessary for their own
maintenance.
In closing, Traylor warned that ire
lief from world distress, the cure for
economic ills, does not lie in the domain
of political action"
government cooperation Is impera-
tive, but leadership Adst come from
business" he declared,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-05-05

collapses have been the immediate ana
most obvious precipitating causes"
Taking up the question Of remedies,
the speaker that first, and most
important of all, because I believe IT
exerts more dangerous influence tnan
any other one thing in American man
cial life. I would urge consideration OF
the adjustment of the so-called daily
settlement with its consequent daily
cau-money rate"
II believe the exchanges Of the coun-
try would make q direct contribution
Of great importance should they aoopt
some type of periodic settlement whlcn
would eliminate the daily call rate ana
make possible some measure OF regula-
ton Of the flow and rate OF credit by
banking authority" he explained.
Against Floor Trading.
"In the second place" he said, IS
would urge consideration Of the COM
plete adjustment of so-called moor
trading, which, as I am informed, has
about 1t most Of the characteristics OF
plain craps shooting; and few, II any,
more redeeming features than that de-
lightful Ethiopian pastime. This mucn
1 know, and every layman knows, tnaC
when the total capitalization OF a cor
poration Is traded in once week or
over period of year from 5 TO 80
times, the sales are not made Tor the
account of one who owns and wants 10
sell, nor are the purchases made for
those VINO desire to puy and actually
receive the securities.
Finally, 1 would urge consideration
BY all exchanges of the adoption OF
rules which would prohibit their mem
hnrc aPHoNffner fraAae other QCtS
than for cash If the amount involved
Is less than $4,000, and 1 should per-
sonally prefer to see the amount raised
to $4,000. I suggest the smaller figure
because 1t is the par value Of hundred
shares OF 500 par stock. This suggeS-
ticn is not intended to bar the small
investor from the market. Other ave-
nueS OF credit are open TO him II he
desires to invest beyond his cash funds.
My thought is that this country cannot
afford again the wreck and ruin OF
people of small means, which followed
the last crash. 1t Is bad enough when
the intelligent and wealthy speculate
ard lose, but when scrubwomen, day
laborers, small home owners, wives and
youths speculate and lose simply because
they can go TO brokers' Office and get
credit for small sums, the practice
ceases to be defensible on any ground.
If 1t be objected that the adoption Of
these suggestions would greatly curtail
tie volume of trading and affect vested
interests of those owning stock exchange
memberships, let me say that the well
fare Of 10000, 900 people should not be
sacrificed to the vested interests of any
group, however large or small"
Getting into Government expenditures
and taxation, Traylor said that a rem
edy Is necessary when "in almost every
major political subdivision Of the coun-
try certain classes of wealth escape
taxation or pay little while other prop
critics are charged with unbearable OBJ
legation" and he warned that unless
there is o return 10 sanity in the mat
