Silver Action Cited

Certain amendments of existing
legislation relating to the purchase
and sale of gold and to other none
tary matters would add to the con-
venience Of handling current prob
lens in this field. The secretary of
the treasury is prepared to submit
information concerning such changes
to the appropriate committees of the
congress.
The foregoing recommendations
relate chiefly to gold. The other
principal previous metal-silver-
also has been used from time imme-
mortal as a metallic base for cur
rencies as we'll as for actual cur
rency itself 1t is used as such by
probably half the population of the
world 1t constitutes a very i'm
portant part of our own monetary
structure. 1t is such a crucial fac
tor in much of the worlds interna-
tional trade that it can not be
neglected.
On Dec. 81, 1888. 1 issued a proc
lamation providing for the coinage
of our newly mined silver and for
increasing our reserves of silver
bullion, thereby putting us among
the first nations to carry out the
silver agreement entered into by
Sixty-six governments at the Lon
don conference. This agreement is
distinctly step in the right direc-
ton and we are proceeding to per-
form our part of it.
All of the siXty-siX nations
agreed to refrain from melting or
debaSing their silver coins, to re-
place paper currency of small de-
nominations with silver coins and
to refrain from legislation that
would depreciate the value of silver
in the world markets.
Those nations producing large
quantities of silver agreed to take
specified amounts from their do
nestle production and those holding
and using large quantities agreed
to restrict the amount they would
sell during the four years covered
by the agreement.

Upper Limit Urged

The title TO all gold being in the
government, the total stock will
serve as a permanent and fixed
metallic reserve which will change
IN amount only so far as necessary
Tor the settlement of international
balances or as may be required by
a future agreement among the ma
tons Of the world for redistribu-
ton OF the world stock of monetary
gold.
With the establishment of this
permanent policy, placing all
monetary gold in the ownership of
the government as a bullion base
Tor Its currency, the time has come
Tor more certain determination of
the gold value Of the American dol
lar. Because of world uncertainties.

PUBIC interest that an exact value
be now fixed.

By making clear that we
are establishing permanent
metallic reserves in the pos
session and ownership of the
federal government, we can
organize a currency system
which will be both sound and
adequate.
The issuance and control of the
medium Of exchange which We call
money" is a high prerogative of
government. 1t has been such for
many centuries. Because they were
scarce, because they could readily
be subdivided and transported, gold
and silver have been used either for
money or as a basis for forms OF
money which in themselves had
only nominal intrinsic value.
In pure theory, of course, a gov
eminent could issue mere tokens
to serve as money - tokens which
would be accepted at their face
value If it we're certain that the
amount of these tokens were per-
manently limited and confined to
the total amount necessary for the
daily cash needs of the community.
Because this assurance could not
always or sufficiently be given, gov
ernments have found that reserves
for basis of gold and silver behind
their paper or token currency added
stability to their financial systems.
There is still much confusion of
thought which prevents a world
wide agreement creating a uniform
monetary policy.
Many advocate gold as the sole
basis of currency; others advocate
silver; still others advocate both
gold and silver, whether as separate
basis, or on basis with fixed ratio,
or on a fused basis.
We hope that, despite present
world confusion, events are leading
to some future form Of general
agreement. The recent London
agreement in regard to silver was a
step, though only a step, in this
direction
At this time we can usefully take
a further step, which we hope will
contribute to an ultimate world
wide solution.

CUBA RESIGNS
BY INVITATION
Revolutionary Committee
Unable to Decide on
Successor.
BIZ Crifed Press

By United Press
HAVANA. Jan. l5.-President
Ramon Grau San Martin today
submitted his resignation to a revo-
lutionary committee composed of
his own former supporters who had
invited him to step out.
Members Of the revolutionary COM
mittee after many hours of vain
argument over Grau'S successor, adj
journed until 10 a. m. without reach
ing a decision.
Two main candidates for the va
Gated presidency were considered by
the revolutionary committee. Col.
Carlos Mendieta. nationalist leader
and perhaps the country'S most
popular politician. and young Agri-
culture Secretary Carlos Hevia,
graduate of Annapolis Naval Acad-
envy in the class of 1920.
American Company Seized
Grau's submission of his reSigna-
ton came after an exciting day dur
ing which the government seized
control of the American owned Gu
ban Electric Company because it
failed to reach agreement with its
employees on a new wage scale.
The workers struck yesterday
morning, and for hours the capital
and provincial towns were without
light or power.
News that Grau's resignation had
been submitted came at 100 a. m.
1t was published as official in
morning newspapers.
Resignation Motive Vogue
Fulgencio Batista, army chief of
staff; Hevia, Antonio GuiteraS, war,
navy and interior secretary; Luis
Almargo, justice secretary, COM
mupications secretary, and Angel
Fernandez, we're said to have wrung
it from Grau.
Army, navy and police force
seemed united against Grau. but
even after it became clear that he
was being dismissed the motive was
vague.
Grau Remains Secluded
GuiteraS emerged from the meet
ing long enough to say:
We shall abide by any decision
the revolutionary committee may
make. If the army does not accept
the committees decision there will
be fight"
Grau remained in his upstairs
apartments in the palace, refusing
to see any one.

Highlights of
New Message

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-High-
lights of President Roosevelt's mes
sage to congress:
ask the congress for certain ad
ditionaI legislation to improve our
financial and monetary system. BY
making clear that we are establish
ing permanent metallic reserves in
the possession and ownership Of the
federal government, we can organ
iZe a currency system which will be
both sound and adequate.
There is still much confusion of
thought which prevents world
wide agreement creating uniform
monetary policy.
The free circulation of gold coins
is unnecessary. The practice of
transferring gold is not only
unnecessary, but is in every way
undesirable.
1 prefer to ask the congress by
specific enactment to vest in the
government title to all supplies CT
American owned monetary gold.
Gold certificates, will be, as now,
secured at all times, dollar for dol
lar, by gold in the treasury.
The time has come for a more
certain determination of the gold
value of the American dollar.
Careful study leads me to believe
that any (dollar) revaluation at
more than so per cent Of the pres
ent statutory value would not be in
the public interest.
Governments can we'll en-
ploy silver as a basis for currency,
and I look for greatly increased use.
I am Withholding any recommen-
dalton to the congress looking to
further extension of the monetary
use of silver
Our national currency must be
maintained as a sound currency.
