Wheat and Siluer to Get
Attention at Conference
Hull Says Both Questions Will
Be Discussed At WASH
ington ParIeys

Washington, April lo.-R-secre-
tary Hull indicated Monday that
among the subjects to be taken up
in the Washington conversations
with leading statesmen .of other
countries in preparation for the
world economic conference would be
restoration Of the price Of silver and
control Of wheat surpluses.
The silver question, he said, Is now
figuring in the Anglo dis
cussions carried On through Sir RON
ala Lindsay, British ambassador.
These conversations will continue
this week, regardless Of the fact that
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
Of Great Britain is sailing soon for
a direct conversation with President
Roosevelt.
The question Of silver and possible
meaps Of improving It's price is men,
toned In detail In the formal agenda
for the economic conference. Also
advocated for consideration Is posi-
bic Improvement Of methods of mar
keting the metal by producers and
currency authorities.
No Decisions Made
Hull emphasized, however. that
nothing resembling decisions have
been made In the Anglo-American
conversations.
As to wheat. the secretary Of state
told reporters that naturally the sur
plus wheat growing countries were
taking q keen interest in that SUBJ
ject, but that the point Of dealing
with them In detail had not yet been
reached.
The world conference program de-
votes special section to wheat en-
phasizing the desirability of an
agreement to eliminate huge sur
pluSes.
Noted particularly is an Argentine
suggestion for reduction Of the areas
sown In the chief exporting coun-
tries.
As Argentina and Canada, two of
the great wheat producing nations,
are among the II invited to send spe-
cial representatives to Washington,
discussion Of the wheat matter with
them is regarded certain.
