|SPL|T IN SENATE
| SILVER BLOC SEEN
Wheeler Announces He Will
Introduce Bill for Free
Coinage.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The split within the Senate silver
bloc was emphasized anew today by a
statement from Senator Wheeler,
Democrat Of Montana, that he would
reintroduce and continue his fight for
his bill to authorize the free coinage
of silver at a ratio of not more than
16 to l with gold
Wheeler's attitude, made known on
his return to the Capital for the next
session OF Congress, was in direct con-
flict with the view expressed previously
by Senator King. Democrat of Utah,
that the silver situation was satisfac-
tory and no further legislation was
needed.
The aggressive Montana Senator
contended that China's protest against
the silver purchase program had
knocked into cooked hat" the
strongest arguments of opponents to
his free coinage bill, that it would
bring flood Of silver to this country.
Discounting the significance Of Chi
I nese protests, Wheeler said they were
simply coming from those who seek
to enslave Chinese coolies and who by
reason of the low price level in China
are able to undersell American manu-
facturers in the world market, there
by driving down the wage levels and
standards of living in the United
States"
Lines Up With Borah.
In standing for new silver legisla-
ton, Wheeler lined up with Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, who also
took issue with the view the silver
situation was satisfactory.
1T is more evident now than it
was when Congress adjourned"
Wheeler said, that it is impossible to
have gold alone as a metallic base
even for the purpose of international
exchange and that silver must be
added to gold as basic money.
THE United States is in a posi-
ton to force an international agree
ment by adopting bi-metallism and it
should be done speedily.
Il see no way of stabiliing the
currencies until we adopt bimetal-
ism. The question is not as to
whether or not there is too much
silver, but as to whether there is Suf-
ficient silver in the world upon which
to base our currency and credit.
Arguments Broken Down.
The international bankers and
reactionary Republicans always said
we'd be flooded with silver. That was
the argument on the floor of the
Senate when my bill was before that
body.
Il contended then that the Orient
could not flood us with silver because
she could not divest herself of the
only money she ever knew.
These arguments, which were pre-
sented by the international bankers
and reactionary Republicans, have
now been knocked into a cooked hat
by the protests of China against our
even purchasing a comparatively
small amount of silver.
Regardless of what any other
Western Senator may say or do. pro-
pose to continue the fight and shall
reintroduce my bill for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver on a basis
not to exceed 16 to l."

Donald Richberg has become the
unofficial speechmaker for the Presi-
dent. Engagements which the Presi-
dent cannot fill are usually turned
over to him. The White House con-
siders him safer than some New
Dealers for that purpose.
Several yarns are going the rounds
that the A. A. A. poured money into
certain towns on the very day that
important Republican orators were to
speak, during the recent campaign.
Senator Borah found that thousands
of dollars had arrived in a small
Idaho town on the eve Of speech.
There were other instances, but they
were certainly accidental, because the
machinery for grinding out the cash
is so complicated and unwieldy it
could not be tuned so specifically to q
single day.
Our Ambassador to Cuba, Jefferson
Caffery, never ventures out alone any
more. A motor car of Cuban detec-

terrorists believe the present Cuban
government is maintained only by
American support.

Ickes Ban on Political
Pressure Appears Only
After Election.
BY PAUL MALLON.

THE best chuckle of the post
election season Is the one about
Mr.. Ickes' lost order.
1t may yet become as famous
as that lost order of Gen Rob-
ert E. Lees, the one accidentally left
behind by one of his generals, dis
closing his plans to the enemy and
causing the battle Of Antietam.
Mr.. Ickes' order appears to have
been lost only temporarily, but it may
have the result of bringing on a bat
tie with his politically minded adver-
saries within the New Deal. It is
Order No ITO, which appears to have
walked of the day it was issued (Oc-
tober 19) and to have hidden itself
