phasized that no other transactions
were being considered at this time.
He said no conditions had been at
tached to transactions already con-
summated. In the case of Mexico. he
said virtually all her sales Of silver
had been made to this country.
Sufficient Gold Held.
"We've got all the gold We can pos
sibly use," Morgenthau added, indi-
eating the Government would make
no further undue efforts to accumu-
late the metal.
The Secretary parried a question as
