session Wednesday and Thursday,

calling the Legislature together last
wednesday mentions only action PRO
vtding for cooperation by the State Of
Vermont with the Federal Government
and its several agencies In such en-
beavers as may be undertaken for the
Vermont" there Is nothing to prevent
the members of the Legislature, now
in session, from taking up other mat
tiers, and 1t Is not unlikely that the
banking situation in the State will be
discussed since there is a strong feel
ing in some quarters that the restric-
lions under which all State banks are
now operating are hindrance to bust
ness. A slight modification Of these re-
strictions has Just been made by Robert
G. Clark, the State commissioner OF
banking, In giving all banks not in
the hands Of conservators permission to
release for Withdrawals, accounts show
ing impounded balances of $50 or less
such release being conditioned on the
cash position Of each bank warranting

ROOSEVELT PLANS
 WORLD RESTORATION
 OF GOLD STANDARD

Restoration of the world to the gold standard but upon a lowered valuation of the gold basis is one of the underlying objects of President Roosevelt's action in restoring the embargo lon gold exports, according to radio reports Thursday even- ing.
 The temporary abandon ment of gold involved in the Presidents action places the United States on the same foot ing as Great Britain and other nations off the gold standard. Successful continuation of the Presidents plans would, 1t was said, have the effect of increas- ing the value of the gold hold ings of all nations and tend to bring about a greater stabiliz- ation of world currencies, in addition to providing a more equable basis for resumption of world trade. It would also have the effect of increasing commodity values both at home and abroad.
 A further drastic move in the Roosevelt economic plans re- vealed Thursday in the Wash ington announcement that Cong ress was considering a bill granting to the President pow CT to reduce the gold content of the dollar by 50 per cent if necessary, with the object of creating a system of controlled currency imitation which was considered preferable to the is- uance of new currency through the medium of the printing press.
 Proposes Silver for War Debts The measure also proposes to grant to the President author ity to accept silver in payment of war debts, thereby restor- ing in degree the white metal as a world monetary medium. The President under this pro- vision would be authorized to accept up to billion dollars in silver bullion in payment of foreign war obligations. This measure is said to have the ap- proval of silver supporters. l The upward swing of prices in response to the Presidents l broad financial moves was con- tinuing Thursday and Friday
 with a steadily rising market in shares and commodities lSales on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday totaled T..
 130,000 shares.

UNITED STATES GOES
 OFF GOLD STANDARD

Taking the most decisive and far-reaching step so far at tempted in his prosperity re- construction program, Presi- dent Franklin D. Roosevelt an- nounced on Wednesday the im- mediate restoration of the em- bargo on gold exports from the United States as a move to im- prov domestic commodity prices. The effect of the move was to take the United States off the gold standard, tempo rarily at least, leaving the price of the dollar to take care of it. self.
 The action was said in radio reports to be the first step in campaign to establish a controlled price level and controlled credit to counteract deflation. It was said that the President hopes eventually to get the nation back on the gold standard, although this stand ard may be on a different gold basis than in the past.
 Giving up the effort to sup port the dollar in foreign ex- change is regarded as not only serving the purpose of increas- ing American commodity pric- es but will also place the Pres ident in a strong position for economic bargaining with toth- CT nations in relation to tariff and other economic questions.
 The response to the Presi- dents pronouncement was im- mediate. Stocks and commodity prices leaped upward, the for mer rising steadily from $1 to more than S3 a share on the New York Exchange. Wheat prices rose more than a cent to nearly 3 cents in Chicago, set ting new high for the season w [ h September deliveries quoted at 68A cents. Cotton rose in New York about S1 a bale and other staples, if not advancing, remained firm.
 Of especial interest to Hyder residents was the announce ment that silver futures had the most spectacular rise in the trading history of that metal in New York with gains of 3 cents per ounce.
 The British pound sterling al so participated in the upswing by rocketing upward more than twenty points to S3.81 for cables, the highest quotation since April 1881.

ROOSEVELT FAVORABLE
 TO SILVER DISCUSSION

" HAtC 1lO0SO tAial lhC SliNSl question will be a feature of the forthcoming world econom- ic conference discussions creat- ed rejoicing among silver ad- vocates Tuesday.
 Radio broadcasts reported that the President was giving close attention to the silver question with a view to taking up the subject of international use of silver with foreign rep- resentatives during the White House conferences starting this week. From the broadcasted statements it appears that the President is entirely favorable to action on the silver question and will endeavor to bring about an international accord at the international conference, which is now scheduled to start on June 12. That he may also press the issue in Congress was indicated in recent statement by Representative White of Id- aho in which White said after a conference with the Presi- dent that he had gained a def mite impression that the chief executive would propose some legislation favorable to silver at the present session.
 White said he told the Presi- dent if the administration did not propose some legislation favorable to the white metal it would upset the existing ac- cord in the democratic mem bership of the House."
 Secretary of State Hull also intimated this week that the silver question will occupy a prominent place in the agenda of the world economic confer ence.
 The defeat of the Wheeler 16 to 1 remonetization bill in the Senate on Monday, al- though disappointing to the more eager silver proponents, is considered by the more con- servative as merely a test of strength the results of which were distinctly gratifying. As against acceptance of. the pro- posal at that time it is pointed out that the bill was not voted upon as a direct issue but as an amendment to the farm re- lief bill, with which the silver issue is scarcely associated. As
 was evidenced in the defeat of the same measure when pre-
 sented as an amendment to the Steagall bank bill during the
 last session of Congress, there
 is reluctance on the part of
 many senate members who are favorable to silver toward talk ing definite action until the is- sue is conosidered internation- ally at the economic confer ence. It is also pointed out that the earlier vote of Is for the
 measure increased to 33; near
