HEAD
AGAIN To MEET
SILVER BLOC
Morgenthau Breaks Impasse
BY Offer to Enter Into
Further Conferences
BY International News Service

Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau informed the silver bloc
in the Senate today he was pre-
pared to enter further conferences
with them relative to the pending
silver bills.
Silver bloc leaders previously
had privately charged the Cabinet
officer with bad faith" in refus-
ing to carry out the Presidents
promise to them for government
declaration in favor of using silver
as primary money alongside gold.
Armed with this pledge, the
silverites expected prompt
agreement on legislation, only to
find Secretary Morgenthau ada
mant against such declaration
and in favor of a stilted state
ment that such a course was the
sense of Congress-"
President Peacemaker
The President was cast in the
role of peacemaker when Senate
leaders demanded that Secretary
Morgenthau lay both their pro-
posals and his own before Mr..
Roosevelt for decision. They
expected the President to support
their stand.
If he failed to do so, the bloc
leaders were ready to declare war
and start a battle in the Senate
for mandatory reconciliation OF
silver.
The declaration of silver policy,
favored by the bloc, was drawn by
Senators William E. BOrah (R0 of
Idaho and Key Pittman CD of
Nevada. It read:
''It is the declared purpose Of
the United States to restore.
establish and maintain silver as
the primary money and a none
tary base for specie and cur
rency ISSUE"
BORAH'S PROVISION
Secretary Morgenthau refused
to incorporate it in the Admins
tration bill.
Senators Borah and Pittman
also drafted provision for man.
datory purchase of silver to carry
out this policy.
AS a substitute for these pro
visions, the Secretary of the Treas
ury proposed a declaration of
policy which merely stated that
1T is the sense of Congress" that
silver should be used as primary
money in the United States.

POLICY ON DEBT
AWAITED
By International News Service

Future payment of approx
mately 12,50O million dollars Eu-
rope owes the American taxpay-
ers hung in the balance today as
the Administration flirted with
the idea of finding some new debt
settlement plan that would prove
satisfactory to both the debtors
and Congress.
With President Roosevelt main
tanning silence concerning what
has has in mind, speculation was
rife over the proposals he might
make.
These ranged anywhere from
a 10000 million dollar slash by
virtually wiping out past and fu-
ture interest payments to pos
Sible acceptance of tin and other
goods in payment of the debts.

Own Nearly All Lines
Mr.. Clifford testified the A. T.

panies, comprising the Bell Sys-
tenn, own and operate about IS
per cent of the telephone service
of the country. He said:
1--WE are now regulated by As

state Commerce Commission.
Within the past year, we have
become further regulated
through the MIRA and the Sc
curities act.
"The Bell system is one or.

BILE operation will be transformed

REALTY LICENSE.
BILL PASSED
BY SENATE
Would Regulate Brokers and
Statesmen and Set up
Commission for D. C.

Important District legislation
relating to real estate and usury
was enacted by the Senate today.
The real estate measure would
define, regulate and license real
estate brokers and real estate
statesmen, and would create real
estate commission in the District
with view to protecting the pub
lie against fraud in real estate
transactions.
Licensing Is Feature
The essential feature is the
licensing of those in the real
estate business by a disinterested
commission vested with authority
to revoke licenses on proof at a
public hearing on fraudulent or
other conduct prejudicial to the
public interest.
The measure, according to its
sponsors, will contribute mate
rally "to prevent fraud upon
purchasers of real estate mort
cages and bonds by stopping the
establishment of high and purely
fictitious values through straw
men, deeds and deeds of trust in
tended to deceive purchasers of
real estate and of securities based
on real estate"
The measure also provides for
the setting up of the real estate
commission to consist of the Dis
trict assessor and two other mem.
bers to be named by the District
Commissioners. the salaries of the
latter two not to exceed $4,000 per
year.
Must Furnish Bond
The commission would be en-
powered to inquire into the char
acter, reliability and competency
of applicants for licenses who
must furnish bond. Brokers
would be required to pay a SIS
annual license fee and statesmen
$5.
Proponents of the bill claim it
will help to end present uSurlouS
practices of certain money
lenders in the District. VINO,
while now licensed as real estate
brokers, are subject to no regula-
ton or supervision.
The other bill which received
Senate approval also deals with
usury and is designed specifically
to permit the correction of grave
abuses in the making of small
loans where the interest charged
is greatly in excess of that au-
thorized by law.
Included in Interest
The bill provides for the in
clusion in the rate of interest,
subject to statutory restrictions,
of all amounts with the know
ledge of the lender" charged as
extra fees in connection with the
procurement of a loan.
