FOREIGN REACTION

LONDON, Aug. 10.-Foreign re- action in world silver centers as the result of the United Stategs naturalization of silver, both pleased and perplexed.
 The belief prevails in some places that the United States will have to do much buying abroad with a resultant boost in the price of the metal
 Interpretation of President Roose- velt's action as inflationary forced down temporarily, at least, the price of the American dollar on some world markets.
 Mexico and Canada anticipated benefits.
 British Puzzled
 London financial quarters are puzzled. Several writers expressed doubt that the program will have any great effect outside of the United States. Other writers ascrib- ed the step as an inflationary move and the dollar dropped on yester- days market.

Senator Thomas Declares He Sees New Era of
 Prosperity Coming

WASHINGTON, Aug. TO- The Governments silver coup rang all bells in the economic carillon and the echo answered everything from joy to bewilderment.
 The Executive Order taking pos- session of silver brought forth varying reactions.
 Leaders of the silver bloc ex- pressed qualification. United States Senator Elmer Thomas, of Okla homa, predicted an international scramble for silver that would force the World Conference to draft uniform world currency for exchange purposes. He foresaw new era of prosperity"
 The Other Side
 Stock and commodity markets sensed imitation while many ob- servers think that aside from pos sible implications the announce ment does not mean imitation.
 That the feelings are mixed on Wall Street is indicated by a prom inent banker who called the move merely a concession to the silver crowd and of mo great import ance."
