POLICY Sees RAPID
ADVANCE IN PRICES
Treasury will Continue Pur.

London Speculators' Scramble
for Limited Supplies Sends

(By the Associated Press)

my VIC IA0OOCB8OSO
Silver prices again surged upward
around the world Thursday Is the
United States treasury reaffirmed its
vigorous silver program.
After lifting the price to American
mines to 77.57 cents, the highest
price they have received since 1920,
Secretary Morgenthau said the treas
ury would continue to buy silver. The
buying will not stop, he said, until
the statutory price Of $l.29 an ounce
is reached or the nations metallic
monetary base Is brought to the OBJ
jective of one part silver to three
parts gold.
So rapid was the rise In principal
world markets that SPECTATORS hoped
that the new treasury price would
quickly be surpassed and another in
crease announced.
In London, Spectators scrambling
for limited supplies sent the price up
2 l-l6 pence to 34H pence an ounce,
equivalent of 75.57 cents IN ounce in
New York. That was only l.6O cents
under the new treasury price of 77.57
cents, as advanced from the level OF
I'LL cents fixed q fortnight ago.
The Montreal silver futures mar
ket was swamped with buying. Quo
tations rose cents an ounce, the
maximum limit permitted in one days
trading.
Mining circles in the Rocky Noun
tain states were happy and Silverites
in congress were gleeful. Senator
Wheeler announced he would resume
his fight for demonstration at Is.
toll.
Banking circles in Mexico, the
worlds largest silver producer, were
vexed as world price levels made 1t
profitable to melt down Mexican sill
yer coins. While they considered
measures to check the threatened dis.
appearance of silver peso coins, the
mining industry doomed.

London. April 25.-(F)-Prime Min
lister Ramsey Macdonald. in one Of
the strongest indictments Of Hitlerite
Germany ever made by . member Of
the British government, accused that
nation Thursday Of destroying Euro
pean confidence in the outlook for
continued peace.
The prime minister, In an article
written for News Letter." national
labor organ. charged the reich with
"besetting the road to peace with
terrors."
The article said there are Naxis in
high authority who are not even CIV
ing lip service to the cause OF European
stability.
Germany has acted in such . way
as to destroy the feeling Of mutual
confidence in Europe" Macdonald
wrote. 1T asks other nations to &C.
cept verbal pledge Of pacific in
tention which 1t itself would not &C.
cept from its neighbors.
Not Way to Peace
"Other nations cannot be pacified by
such assurance and can show ample
justification for their refusal"
The prime ministers outspoken ar
raignment Of Reichsfuehrer Hitler,s
policies disclosed q definite change in
the official British attitude which
heretofore has occupied Z middle
ground, insisting that maintenance Of
peace demanded concessions by both
France and Germany.
Germany has not won the honor
and sympathy which it sought" the
article said.
1T has aroused the suspicion Of
practically every nation in Europe. I
do not believe any German can hon.
estly feel surprised that the conduct
OF his government has been dealt with
prejudice when the council Of the
league Of nations expressed appre-
hensiveneSs and Misrepresentation"

HOPKINS READY
To HIT BACK
At DAVEY
White House Believed Eager
For FERA Head to Crack
Down on Governor

There were indications today
that before the day is over Harry
Hopkins, Federal relief admins
traitor, will hit back at Gov. Mar
tin L. Davey, of Ohio, who for
five days has been attacking Mr..
Hopkins for his action in taking
over the Ohio relief administra-
ton, charging political corruption
and graft.
The Administration is worried
about the situation from a purely
publicity standpoint. The large
array of publicity experts in the
Government are of the opinion
that, although Mr.. Hopkins is right
in his contention that the Ohio
Democratic machine was playing
politics with relief, nevertheless
the Ohio politicians and the Gov
ernor himself have had about five
times as much publicity as Mr..
Hopkins has had.
Mr.. Hopkins consulted today
with Stephen T. Early, the Presi-
dents assistant secretary. There
has been no news on the Ohio
relief subject at the White House,
but there are indicat onS that
White House officials would like
to see Mr.. Hopkins "crack
down" on the situation before
it is too late and the public gets
the opinion that Mr.. Hopkins
has no case.
Action Wanted
Administration leaders have
pointed out that after publication
of the letter of President Roose-
velt and that of Mr. Hopkins last
Saturday, Governor Davey OF Ohio
has called Mr.. Hopkins many
names and has attacked him vio-
lently, got out a warrant for Mr..
Hopkins, and dared him to set
foot in Ohio. but has not yet
discussed the case in point.
The charge is that Governor
Davey's henchmen solicited politi-
cal funds from merchants who
were cashing relief orders and
thereby doing a large business
with the State.
Evidence Declared Strong
Mr.. Hopkins spent at least two
days making up the evidence and
showed it to President Roosevelt.
It is reported that the President
believes the case against Governor
Davey is air-tight and cannot be
broken down by mere verbal at
tackS.
At the same time, the matter
is getting into national politics
and may disrupt the situation in
Ohio, where a fine Democratic
pro-New Deal machine was being
built.
It is so serious that Senator
Robert Bulkley of Ohio, a Demo
crat, who called at the White
House today, would not even dis
cuss the subject except to Say that
he was glad "it wasn't his trou-
ble."
