FULL TEXT OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON SILVER

Another is that we should
not neglect the value of an
increased use of silver in i'm
proving our monetary system.
Since 1929 that has been OBJ
viouS.
Some measures for making a
greater use Of silver in the
public interest are appropriate
for independent action by us.
On others, international CO.
operation should be sought.
OF the former class is that
Of increasing the proportion Of
silver in the abundant metal
lie reserves back of our paper
currency. This policy was init
ated by the proclamation Of
December 81, 1888, bringing
our current domestic produc-
ton of silver into the Treasury,
as we'll as placing this nation
among the first to carry out
the agreement on silver which
we sought and secured at the
London conference.
We have since acquired other
silver in the interest of stab
ilization of foreign exchange
and the development Of a
broader metallic base for our
currency. We seek to remedy
a maladjustment Of our cur
rency.

The tert of President RooSe
uelt'S Siluer message to Congress!
tolloDS:
To the Congress Of the
United States:
On January II, 1884, I recon-
mended to the Congress legis-
lation which was promptly
enacted under the title, 1.-The
Gold Reserve Act of 1884"
This act vested in the United
States Government the custody
and control of our stocks Of
gold as a reserve for our paper
currency and as a medium of
settling international balances.
1t set up StabiliZation fund
for the control Of foreign ex-
change in the interests of our
people, and certain amend
mentS were added to facilitate
the acquisition Of silver.
AS stated in my message to
the Congress, this legislation
was recommended as step in
improving our financial and
monetary system. Its enactment
has laid a foundation on which
we are organizing a currency
system that will be both sound
and adequate. 1t is a long
step forward, but only a step.

amount Of silver in our none
tary stocks with the ultimate OBJ
jective Of having and maintain
ing one-fourth Of their monetary
value in silver and three-fourths
in gold.
The executive authority should
be authorized and directed to
make the purchases Of silver
necessary to attain this ultimate
objective.
The authority to purchase
present accumulations of silver
in this country should be limited
to purchases at not in excess of
so cents per ounce.
The ecutive authority
should be enabled, should
circumstances require, to take
over present surpluses of
silver in this country not re-
quired for industrial uses on pay
ment of just compensation, and
to regulate imports, exports and
other dealings in monetary sill
yer.

Marriages

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, May
% Q.N.SO.-The VaSsar cam
pus was the scene of much mer-
rymaking today as the under
graduates learned of the col
lege's official ruling that girls
may marry and continue as stu
dents,
This ruling, a distinct depar-
ture from Vassar tradition an
nounced by Eleanor Dodge,
warden of the college, is be-
lieved to have been inspired by
recent marriages of students
who remained in their class
rooms.
Agitation for a more liberal
view of the student marriage
problem reached a peak re-
Gently following a lecture by

Sor at the University of Illinois.

Time Seen Ripe

The ebb and flow of values
in almost all parts of the world
have created many points of
pressure for readjustment of
internal and international stand
ards.
At no time since the efforts
of this nation to secure inter
national agreement on silver
began in 1873, have conditions
been more favorable for making
progress along this line.
Accordingly, I have begun
to confer with some of our
neighbors in regard to the use
of both silver and gold, prefer
ably on a coordinated basis, as
a standard Of monetary value.
Such an agreement would
constitute an important step
forward toward monetary
unit of value more equitable
and stable in its purchasing ind
debt-paying power.

both gold and silver, Is event.
ually to be made q world
standard.
To arrive at that point, we
must seek every possibility for
world agreement, although 1t
may turn out that this nation
will ultimately have to take
such independent action on
this phase Of the matter as its
interests require.
The success Of the London
Conference in consummating
an international agreement on
silver, which has now been
ratified by all the governments
concerned, makes such further
agreement worth seeking.
The Washington times., 1934-05-22
30 Per Cent Tax Asked

There should be a tax of at
least so per cent on the profits
accruing from dealing in silver.
We can proceed with this
program Of increasing our store
of silver for use as a part of
the metallic reserves for our
paper currency without seri-
ously disturbing adjustments
in world trade.
However, because of the great
world supply of silver and its
use in varying forms by the
worlds population, concerted
action by all nations, or at
least a large group of nations,
is necessary If a permanent
measure of value, including

Here's how the tests were made. .Toa
borrowed car was hitched heavy load. Into
special tank on the car was placed one ofthe
gasolines to be tested. The car was then driven
up hill in high gear until the motor stalled.
Then this procedure was repeated for each Of

Gasolines sold in the vicinity were tested
