In Washington, the treasury
today reduced its price for foreign
silver by one-half cent to 38 cents

for silver, had reduced its price.
Tuesday, the treasury cut its price
from 43 cents per ounce TO 40 cents.
Yesterday. the price was cut TO

Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau jr. said that farmers
and businessmen had better start
worrying seriously about the dol
ministration's devaluation author
ity.
Morgenthau declared that failure
TO enact the monetary bill in the
form in which il passed the house
would take the countrys monetary
situation back to where it was in
1898"
The house voted to extend the
dollar devaluation power and to
continue the $4,000, ,000, 600 stabili-
cation fund but the senate struck
out the devaluation authority. The
measure is now in conference be-
tween the houses.
Morgenthau declared that "of all
the times to lose those monetary
powers I can't imagine a more un-
fortunate time
The powers that We have had
up TO date have enabled the execu-
tive branch of the government to
met any situation that has arisen"
Morgenthau said. They are taking
away from the president and the
treasury very important instru-
ments-instruments I believe we
have shown that We are capable
of handling"
Meanwhile other authoritative
fiscal sources confirmed reports
that the British government had
been halted some months ago in a
proposal to drop the value of the
pound by threats of similar action
by this government relative to the
dollars value
The British government, it was
learned, informed the United States
that it did not believe it would be
able to maintain the pounds value.
Several exchanges of notes fol-
lowed between the two governments
IN which the United States pointed
out that through use of the stabili-
cation fund and the devaluation
power, 1t might be advisable to
lower the value of the dollar.
After exchange of the notes. oc-
curing in the last two weeks OF
