Job Plea Stumps

It took q job hunter to stump the
Civil Service Commission which
generally can be counted on to an
swer any question bearing on en-
ployment in the Government.
How can I get . job watching
the fish in Alaska during the run
Of salmon?" was the question.
All the commission knew was that
it had no register for salmon watch

the Bureau of Fisheries.
The bureau advised that such

Silver Silver Proclamation ma

President Has Been
Urged to Increase
Present Price IS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt had one
major year-end task today-the is
suance of q proclamation telling
whether the Treasury will continue
in 1899 to buy newly mined domes-
tic silver and, If so, what price 1t
will pay.
In recent weeks Congress mem-
bers from silver-producing States
have besieged the Chief Executive
with pleas that the present price of
64.H cents an ounce be raised, or
at least continued. A decision must
be announced before midnight.
Opposition to Reduction.
Opposition to reduction in the
price was expressed yesterday by
Senator Thomas, Democrat, Of
Utah, who said any cut would be
most, unfortunate"
Treasury officials said, mean
while, that experts were examining
the possibilities Of either keeping
the price unchanged or of reducing
1t. It was intimated that but rela-
lively little study had been given
to the possibility of increasing the
price.
Government monetary experts
estimate that the Treasury is more
than 1000, ,000,0 900 ounces short of
the goal set by the Silver Purchase
Act of 1884. That act directed the
Treasury to buy silver until 1t &C
quired' 81 Of the white metal for
every So of gold held.
This ratio never was reached, how
ever, because the heavy inflow of
gold to the Treasury exceeded pur-
chaseS of silver.
Designed to Lift Prices.
The Treasury was first authorized
to buy silver by an amendment to
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istratton Act in 1888. Silver pur-
chases were designed to aid domestic
producers and to lift farm prices
through increasing the supply of
money. In that year, the price paid
was 6464 cents an ounce.
On April 10, 1885, the price was
lifted to Till cents and again on
April "a to 77.57 cents. A year ago
today it was cut by proclamation of
the President to 6464 cents.
Since the Treasury started BUYING
silver in 1888, it has amassed a total
Of 1889 800, 900 ounces at a cost of
81 ,034 300 900. OF this. $500 900
ounces was newly mined, domestic
metal acquired at an average price
Of 1874 cents. Most of the balance
bought was foreign silver taken at
an average price of 538 cents an
ounce.
The present domestic price OF 64 ga
cents an ounce compares with the
world price of 43 cents an ounce.

Italian Newspapers
Abruptly Cease
Attacks on France
Moderation Deemed Show
Of Desire to Obtuin
British Sympathy
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Dec. 31.-A bitter anti
French campaign waged by the
Fascist press for the past month
halted abruptly today.
Morning papers limited them
selves chiefly to asserting that the
French request that British Prime
Minister Chamberlain on his Rome
visit refrain from attempting media
ton of Italian claims against France
was received badly in London.
Diplomatic quarters regarded the
moderated tone in Rome as indie
ative of a desire to win greater
British sympathy for Italy's natural
aspirations" as the time of Mr.
Chamberlain's visit January II
draws near.
There were reports in these quar-
tiers that Italy feels Mr. Chamber
lain already is favorably disposed
toward SOME concession to her.
May Recall More Troops.
Some diplomats expressed the be-
lief that Premier Mussolini might
agree to withdrawal of the re-
mainder of his troops from Spain
If France. in return, would agree
to some of his demands in North
Africa.
They indicated the Italians had
shown willingness to make such a
deal. Mussolini withdrew 10000
troops from Spain to pave the way
for the Anglo-Italian agreement ef-
fective November 16. ..tc
A trade between Italy and France,
diplomats said, would necessarily
involve the granting of belligerent
rights to the Spanish insurgents by
France, and French sources have
indicated an unwillingness to con-
slider such trade.
Bargaining Reports Denied.
The newspaper II Piccolo, however,
denied the reports of bargaining
on the question of Italian troops in
Spain and described them as "a left
handed blow" attempting to sabotage
Mr.. Chamberlain visit.
The October withdrawal of troops
was "definitive," II Piccolo said.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister
Count Galeazzo Ciano was informed
by Britain's ambassador, the Earl
of Perth, concerning Anglo-German
discussions of Germany's announced
intention to build more submarines.

=
ton Of the enduring peace and sta
bility of East Asia"
Special Rights End Demanded.
The abolishment of extraterri-
torial rights in China was advocated
by Japan as part of the new pro-
gram. The United States today
pointed out that countries possess
ing those rights, including the
United States, had been in active ne
gotiation with China looking toward
cancellation of some of them in the
years prior to 1881, when disorder
halted negotiations.
The United States expects an an
swer to its note, but considers it un-
likely diplomatic correspondence on
this point will be carried any further.
The reservation of national rights
Is legal term ip diplomacy resorted
to only in extreme cases when one
government completely refuses to
accept the contentious of another
which affect their rights and inter-
eSts. It means that the United States
accepts none of the Japanese con-
tentions and will revert to the pre-
war position there in any future dis
cussion Of the Chinese question.
Reply to November 1s Note.
The note from the Japanese
government on November 18 main
tanned that the principles Of
the past did not apply to the present
situation in China and that new
order" had arisen in Eastern Asia.
Secretary of State Hull had pro-
tested on October that Japan was
violating American rights u China
by instituting monopolies, trace re-
strictions, currency and tariff al
terations.
After delivery of Japan's Novem-
Der 10 note, Foreign Minister Hachiro
Arita gave the British and American
Ambassadors further oral exposi-
ton of Japan's attitude toward for
eign economic rights in China.
He was reported to have told them
frankly the principle of the open
door in China had vanished and to
have used the language, Hereafter,
you will be permitted You will
not be permitted, etc." in discussing
what trade other countries would
be allowed to carry on with China.
The State Department repeatedly
has protested damage to American
properties in China and has insisted
that Americans be accorded every
right and privilege that Japanese
nationals receive in the conquered
portions of China.
This Governments dissatisfaction
with events in China was evidenced
also in the summoning home of AM
bassador Nelson T. johnson for a re-
port. Mr.. johnson now Is on his
way to the United States.
Since Japan made known its in
tention to establish q new order"
in China, the United States has
taken economic action which aided
the Chinese government.
Early this month, the Export
Import Bank made China q $25, ,0O0,-
600 loan. Foreign Minister Arita
promptly said that If it was intended
as political gesture, it might be q
very dangerous political gesture"
Despite this yelled protest from
Japan, Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau subsequently arranged
to lend China undisclosed amounts
Of dollar exchange to facilitate that
countryS purchases In the United
States.
