today that the State DepaFtlpent

pressure to bear on Congress to
restore full power to the Presi-

Definite price to be paid for
domestic silver has not been an
nounced, however it will be well
over the present level, it was
stated by definite authority to-
day. The Presidents power to
continue the devaluation of the
dollar remains in the bill, also.
However, a different story
presents itself in connection with
the neutrality bill which the
White House and the state de-
partment is anxious to see passed
without embargo restrictions.
A definite isolationist bloc
headed by Senators Hiram john
son and William Borah, numbers
some 35 members in its group.
They are making plans to bring
on a prolonged fillibuster in the
Senate if the administration per-
sists in pushing their demands
for cancellation of the amend
n1ent that restricts the shipment
of arms and ammunition to for
eign nations in case of war.
Both houses of Congress adj
