INTERNATIONAL !
MONEY PARLEYS
BEGUN, is hint
Secretary IntimateS Series
Started by Present
Conference.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Henry
Morgenthau Jr, Secretary OF tine
Treasury. today hinted that the
United States had begun inter-
national silver conferences with re-
spect to use of both silver and gold
on co-ordinated basis as a stand
ard of monetary value.
Secretary Morgenthau's suggestion
was indirect. He merely referred
queStionerS to President RooseYelts
congressional message of May -.
1884, which had indicated such
course had been started.
Mexican Ambassador DR.. Don
Francisco Castillo Najera and
Eduardo Ssurez, Mexican treasury
secretary. conferred with Mr.. MOI
genthau for half hour yesterday
and departed with no comment
other than that the conference
would be resumed next Monday.
Presidents Message Cited
In answer to questions as TO
whether the United States and
other silver producing countries
shosld present a united front
against the sterling managed cur
rency bloc, Mr. Morgenthau said:
II think it is the interest of silver
producing countries to work closely
together"
In the silver message to Congress
made nearly two years ago President
Roosevelt said:
I'VE can proceed with this pro-
gram of increasing our store of
silver for use as a part of these
metallic reserves for our paper cur
rency without seriously disturbing
adjustment in world trade.
However, because of the great
world supply of silver and its use
in varying forms by the worlds pop
ulation. concerted action by all ma
tions, or at leas; large group Of
nations, is neces sary if the perms-
nent measure OF value: Including
both gold and silver; is eventually
to be made world standard.
ITO arrive at that point. We must
seek every possibility for world
agreement, although it may turn out
that this nation will ultimately have
to take such independent action on
this phase of the matter as its in
terests require.
Conditions Held Favorable
'The success of the London Con-
ference in consummating an inter-
national agreement on silver, which
has now been ratified by all the
governments concerned, makes such
further agreement worth seeking.
The ebb and flow of values in al
most all parts of the world have
created many points of pressure
for readjuStments of internal and
international standards.
AT no time since the efforts OF
this nation to Succor international
agreements on silver began in 1873
have conditions been more favor
able 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, preferably on CO.
ordinated basis, as a standard of
monetary value. Such an agree
ment would constitute an important
step forward toward a monetary
unit of value more equitable and
stable in its purchasing and debt
paying power"

1885 Shows Definite
Progress Toward
Recovery.
by RALPH HENDERsHoT-

AIEW YORK, Jan. 3-Definite
4 progress in the direction Of
business recovery has been made
in the year just ended. More peo-
pie are employed than there were
IL months ago, goods are moving
more rapidly and in greater VOL
ume. crec.t is cheaper and more
easily obtained, corporation profits

whether 1t was the prime force
behind the recovery is open TO
question. Elimination of the NRA
likewise contributed to the better
ment. 1t made larger corporation
profits possible and encouraged the
spending of money on so-called
durable goods.
QUT production of goods had
- been considerably below nor
NAL for about five years, and during
that time the surplus on hand
had been reduced to minimum.
1t was but a matter of time before
factory wheels were obliged to start
turning again. The government
helped to prime tie pump of busi-
ness in more ways than one, thus
assisting in speeding the recovery.
Probably the economists never
VIII be able to get together ON
who or what provided the trade
revival impetus. Most of them have
their own pet ideas, and probably
some Of them are influenced by po-
litical leanings. This is unfortunate,
for we may run into another de-
preston in time, and the chances
are that we may be in as big a
muddle over what to do about it as
we have been in the last few years.
DOST-MORTEMS seldom are
very interesting, however, so
1t may be more worth while to
direct our attention to the future
and take the chance that we may
be able to pull out of the next de-
preston as we'll as we have the
past one. Probably it won't look
much like the one we have just
gone through, any way, and any
lessons we could have learned in
recent years might be of little
value in coping with the new con-
ditions.
Certainly we can greet the new
year with much more confidence
than we had at the beginning of
1885. Then we had little more
than hope to carry us along, but
this year we have actual results
to support us. Current steel opera
tions, electrical output, car load
ings, bank clearings, building OPP
erations and employment figures
are ample proof that we are head
ed in the right direction.

Cirrhosis Of the liver is q
chronic Inflammation Of this or
gan, which, in the early stages, is
usually enlarged. Although q
chronic disease, the exact causes
are yet unknown. Bacterial tox-
ins and infection no doubt play an
important role, as the liver can be
contaminated from the intestinal
tract.
AutopSieS have proved that, al
though the organ usually main
tainS it's shape, the color varies
from dark green to a lighter
shade Of the same color. When
operated upon the liver is more
difficult to cut, due to an exces-
sive amount Of joining tissues,
which presents to the surgeon q
perplexing problem.
The ordinary symptoms are ex-
pressed by disturbance Of the in
testinal tract. Jaundice, an all
ment which. unless you are an ex-
perienced kennel master, is very
difficult to diagnose and in a mild
way is usually associated with cir

Due to the fact that this condi.
ton is not a maligant one, cir
rhosis. If caught in time, usually
can be cured by an operation. Your
veterinarian will be glad to dag
nose your animal and let you know
whether the symptoms show a
chronic condition. Enlargement
Of the liver usually can be detected
by palpitation. In some cases the
disease is accompanied with an en-
largement of the spleen.
A diagnosis of this condition is
more easily made with humans.
This is due to the fact that human
beings usually become advised
concerning their condition, while,
on the other hand, the owners Of
animals wait until it is too late in
the case of their pets. Where ami
mails are concerned, a post-mortem
examination far too often reveals
to the veterinarian the first def
mite knowledge of the presence Of
this disease.
Until you are able to consult
your veterinarian I would suggest
that first aid consist Of a diet Of
easily digeSted food, such as raw.
lean meat and milk, and doses of
magnesium sulphate.
