He's Bitten, Bruised

By United Press
SIDNEY, Neb., July 30.-Roger
Geller, IS, while playing cowboy,
craved more excitement than he
could get from lassoing fence posts
and riding a stick horse. He went
out to the hog lot and picked on
big boar.
Physicians said he will recover
from the bites and bruises he got in
the fight which followed.

Urges an international
Parley on Silver
By w. E.. Ryan

From Ottawa comes the sug-
gestion "of a super-bank to buy
and control all the gold and
silver resources of the British
Empire-possibly also of the
United States"
This suggestion was made
and advocated by j. P. Darling
ton, director Of the British Mid
land Bank, British authority on
currency. Under the Darling
ton plan, which he believes
the United States would find
it Improbable to not subscribe,
there would be no difficulty in
restoring silver and keeping it
on it's true comparative parity
with gold.'
Mr.. Darlington says:
"The rehabilitation of silver
Is of immediate importance, be-
cause as I see it we are drifting
rapidly toward economic chaos"
This super-bank Of the Brit
iSh Empire "to which the
United States would find it un-
profitable not to subscribe"
would establish the ratio Of sill
yer to gold at 20 to / GA ounces
to one ounce is the nearer par
lty; ancient Rome made it IL

the exchange value of the
Indian rupee"
New Monetary Unit
This British Empire super
bank would ,"take over by pur.
chase the existing stock Of gold
and silver held by the govern
ments and banks that issue
currency for the empire" The
new monetary unit of this
British Empire super-bank to be
called the "rex" (King). Gold
10 be purchased at a minimum
price OF one rex (King) for 113
grains of pure gold, which is
the gold content of the sov-
ereign.
Silver would be purchased at
one rex "for 2,26O grains of fine
silver" The rex to be uniform,
whether Of gold or silver; bal
anceS transferable by q mere
ledger entry to any part of the
empire of the United States; "as'
the United States would find it
improbable not to subscribe" to
this British empire superbank.
Mr.. Darlington's plan is not to
treat silver as a commodity but
the restoration of the value of
silver as money. Mr.. Darling
ton says: "If the superbank of
the British empire raises
its selling price for golod, it
would raise the buying price
also, so the empires gold pro-
ducers would gain the advan-
tage."
The Washington times., 1931-06-06

The British gold mines Of the
Rand, Africa, are the greatest
virgin gold producers of the
world today, having produced
nearly one-half of the worlds
new gold within the past year.
Fundamentally, silver money is
more important to the world
than gold. Gold as money has
virtually disappeared. In the
East all tropical countries,
silver money is necessary. For
ages they have used it as a
medium of exchange and as a
store of value. The value
however, has been filched from
them. first by the nations of
the West and next by the gov
ernment of India itself"
Mr.. Darlington says his "con.
Germ is with the restoration Of
the value of silver as money,
not bolstering the metal as a
commodity"
How quick the British subject
is to see the silver handwriting
on the worlds wall! How quick
to suggest a British Empire
superbank to restore silver to
it's age-old right as a joint
primary money with gold!
Agrees in Part
There was much said by Mr..
Darlington that I thoroughly
agree with, but not the estab-
lishment of his suggested super
bank of the British Empire,
that "the United States would
find it Improbable not to sub
