have been very disappointing.

For naturally the government,
pleased over the tremendous profit
made In deyaluing gold. had been hop

low prices. and repeat the profit. Un-
fortunately for this hope, China's pro-
tests that the American government
was running her with the silver buying
policy. and this governments reply that

on, served official notice on the world
of this governments intention to buy

white metal held on. hoping for higher
prices.
Entirely aside from this, however,
President Roosevelt is convinced that
a little further imitation is necessary.
He had thought to obtain 1t by silver
purchases Also to make a big profit
out Of silver. The conferences now go
Ing on look to at least deferring this
program, and getting both the imitation
and the profit by further devaluing
gold.
