NEW MONEY PACT
T0FURTHER TRADE
Chinese Silver Purchasing
of Gold in Line With
3-to.1 Policy.

Treasury officials said yesterday the
new Chinese-American monetary
agreement would serve the double
purpose Of furthering this country's
silver program and promoting trade
between the two countries.
The silver program, embodied in
the 1894 purchase act, directs the
Treasury to buy the white metal until
silver equals one-third OF gold hold
ings, or until 1t reaches the monetary
price Of $1.29 an ounce.
About 100000 ounces of silver
have been acquired under the act, but
the Treasury still is far short OF the
projected gold-silver ratio.
Now Five to One.
AS silver bars have piled higher in
Treasury vaults, large imports from
abroad have brought q simultaneous
swift growth in the gold hoard Gold
stocks now total about 12,300, 900, 600
and silver holdings stand about one
fifth of this figure.
The Sino- American monetary agree
ment provides that China will buy
substantial sums of this countrys
gold, selling the Treasury silver in
return.
Reduction in Treasury gold stocks
and acquisition Of additional silver
officials said. would exercise a double
influence toward increasing the ratio
Of silver to gold.

PRESIDENT LEAVES
FOR SHORT CRUISE
Rayburn and Lands Guests
for "Working' Holiday

b the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt abandoned the
White House yesterday for a short
working" holiday aboard the presi-
Dental yacht Potomac on Chesapeake
Bay.
The presence of Representative
Rayburn, House floor leader, as one
OF his guests prompted some observers
to express belief that they intended to
discuss a proposal for prolonged re-
cess Of the House during Senate de-
bate Of the Supreme Court bill.
Also with the President were James
M. Lands, soon to retire as chair
man of the Securities Commission,
and Mrs. Lands, members of the White
House staff
Mr.. Roosevelt chose one of the hot
test days of the Summer to motor IS
miles to Annapolis in an open auto
mob to board the Potomac Wear
Ing broad panama hat and a light
weight suit of gray, he was perspiring
freely as he relaxed on lounge of the
Potomac's awning-covered after deck
With the President went a large
accumulation of White House mail
and four voluminous reports on which
he expected to work during his cruise.
He planned to return to Washington
late today
Before leaving the Whithe House,
Mr.. Roosevelt signed several bills, in
cluding an authorization for Govern
ment participation in the New York
Worlds Fair in 1899.

have argued 1t would accelerate busi-
ness activity, because the Treasury
may issue certificates against silver
acquisitions, increasing the supply Of
currency.
Infationary Effect Feared.
Some economists, however, have
urged abandonment Of the program
on the ground 1t had an inilationary
effect and placed an unnecessary
drain on the Federal cash box.
Oficials said yesterday ailver certifi-
Gates probably would be issued against
metal acquired from China. They
added, however, that no decision had
been reached. Any issuance OF silver
certificates would tend to increase ex-
cess bank reserves, or lendable funds.
They said the understanding would
insure a stable currency from China
and that this. in itself, would aid
trade. The United States now holds
first position in Chinas foreign trade.

there had been stories that the strike
had been started by over-eager lieu
tenants earlier than Lewis had In
tended, and that Lewis was embar-
raised aid disposed to pull In his
horns q little.
As to all this, Lewis said: This
strike is going to be fought to a sue
cessful conclusion. General Motors
might as well settle now as farther up
the street After General
Motors has signed contract, we'll ex-
pect Mr.. Ford and Mr.. Chrysler to do
a little collective bargaining" Lewis
spoke also Of his intention to organize
the steel industry.
But the thing that stood out con-
spicuously.. the thing which created
the impression that Lewis had called
the press conference for specific pur-
pose, were his illusions to President
Roosevelt This impression was in
creased by the fact that at the same
moment Mr.. Roosevelt's Secretary OF
Labor, Miss Perkins, was holding q
series of practically continuous con-
ferences with strike leaders and Gen.
eral Motors officials to settle the strike.
Asks Roosevelt to Pay.
Among other things, Lewis said:
I'VE have advised the administra-
ton through the Secretary Of Labor
and the Governor Of Michigan that
for six months the economic royalists
represented by General Motors. the
Du Points, Sloan and others contrib
uted their money and used their energy
to drive the President Of the United
States out of washington. and this
administration out Of power. The
administration asked labor to help
it repel this attack and labor helped
the President to repel the economic
royalists. The same economic royal
lists now have their fangs in labor,
and labor expects the administration
to support the auto workers in every
legal way In their fight. This
is no time for neutrality, no time for
pussyfooting"
When asked by reporter II his
statement meant the administration
had been 'pussyfooting," Lewis re-
piled: 1T means what it says" When
another reporter asked Lewis if he
had requested the President to inter
vene, he replied, with a manner Of
sarcasm: THAT is for the President
to determine; we have made no
request. Labor intervened when the
President was in jeopardy"
Roosevelt Speaks.
All that was at o'clock Thursday
afternoon. 1t was published in the
newspapers of Friday morning. At
10:30 Friday forenoon. President
Roosevelt held one OF his regular semi
weekly press conferences. Some one
asked him if he had anything to say
about the automobile strike. Mr..
Roosevelt replied, with a manner Of
carefully choosing his words: In the
interest of peace there come moments
when statements, conversations and
headlines are not in order" Mr..
Roosevelt was asked If this could be
quoted. He said it could. Other

For the rest of the hour, Cook has
