in the effort. Referring to the London
agreement. he said:
This resolution was contingent upon
an agreement between the governments
of those countries producing large guam
titles of silver and the governments of
those countries holding or using large
quantities, looking to the elimination
of an unnatural oversupply of silver
on markets of the world.
This agreement. of course, was for
the purpose of allowing demand and
supply to govern the price Of silver
by the limitation and naturalization of
this overSupply derived from the melt
ing up of silver coins.
India had the power to dispose of,
on the markets of the world, at any
time and at any price, hundreds Of
millions of ounces of silver. In fact.
India had the power and capacity to
dump silver derived from the melting
up of Indian silver coins in an amount
equal to the worlds production from
the mines for a period of two years.
This power and the uncertainty at
tending its execution was destructive
of the value and stability Of silver
throughout the world"

Points on Silver
Presidents Order Calls for
Coming of Half That
Mined in u. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In brief, the silver proclamation by
President Roosevelt calls for:
Coinage Of half Of the newly-mined,
domestically produced silver, the other
half to be held in the Treasury as a
charge for coming.
Automatically increasing the price OF
silver to an estimated 6412 cents an
ounce.
An estimated coinage Of 10000, 900
ounces Of silver annually for four years
Advantages claimed for the action
by proponents include:
A large increase in foreign trade.
World stabilization of the silver price
at 64H cents an ounce.
An increase in foreign buying power
A boost in commodity prices.
An aid to the domestic mining in
dustry.
The chief argument of the proponents,
however is this:
Half the world, including India, China
and most of South America, uses silver
as currency base. When the price Of
silver drops, the purchasing power of
their currency in other countries slumps
the silver base countries could increase
their purchases.
But the commonly answer to
this is that most silver nations buy more
than they sell, that the difference must
be made up by actual shipments OF
silver and the actual increase in trade
would depend upon the quantity of the
metal available for physical export.
