REPLY To CHINA
ONS|LVERSEEN

A reply to the Chinese gov
eminent protest against Amer
lean silver policy is expected to
be formulated within the next
48 hours at a conference between
President Roosevelt and the Sec
retarieS of State and Treasury.
It is understood the answering
note will emphasize that this
Government is acting under the
specific mandate Of congressional
acts which permit little or no
administrative attitude.
China, acting through diplo-
matte channels, is believed to
have violently objected to con-
tinuance of American silver buy
ing on a large scale, on the
grounds that it is disturbing the
internal economy of the Far-EaSt-
ern republic.
This formal protest follows
studies made by Ii Ming, chair
man of the Bank of China in
this country, on the probable ef-
feet of the American policy on
Chinese affairs.
Silver advocates in Congress,
it will be recalled. contended
that the stimulation Of silver
prices through a buying program
would greatly improve United
States trade with China, and
benefit China's purchasing power.
This, according to the Chinese
viewpoint is entirely incorrect
and on the contrary China is
harmed by the rise in the price
of the white metal.
Ii Ming recently asserted that
Increased silver prices would
place China in q position where
it could not afford to pay for
American imports.
