paSSing the tWU-tHiIu hldJoiiAy

under which the bill was
brought up.
WASHINGTON, March %. U.P)
The Dies silver bill was called up
in the house today for an immed-
late test of strength which silver
bloc members asserted would serve
notice to the White House of re-
monetization sentiment in congress.
White House pressure forced the
test to come on bill which lacks
an out and out reconciliation fea-
ture and provides only that silver,
priced at a tempting premium. be
accepted in payment for agriculture
surpluses sold abroad. The silver
would be used as the base for GER
tificates payable to the surplus
sellers.
Debate was limited to two hours.
A two-thirds majority was re-
quired.
Speaker Henry T. Rainey, who
had agreed to give silver bills the
right of way today, bowed to a
White House request and decided
not to call up the FieSinger meas
ure providing for purchase OF up
to 1,500,000,000 ounces and issuance
of silver certificates against the
/ bullion until commodity prices
reached the 1923 level.
Rainey said he had called off the
show down vote on the Fiesinger
bill after being informed President
Roosevelt had launched a study OF
the silver question. The treasury
announced that Prof. James H
Rogers. monetary expert, would go
! to China to study the silver prob
lem.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D..
Mont, one of the most active OF
the silver bloc, was pessimistic
about Rogers trip.
! THE trip will be used as a pre-
text by the administration against
any real silver legislation at this
session." Wheeler said.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., did not appear
