tion of the chief executive:
That more silver as a supplemental
currency would aid stability; tht
stability la monetary exchange was
necessary, snd tnat Individual action
by the countries could sot attain
this desirable end.

Must Raise Prices.
Senator Pitt man (D Nev.), long
champion of silver and author of
bill for this government to buy
maximum of 5.000.000 ounces of do
mestic bullion monthly to help It,
said he thought the messap recog
nized Mthat price levels must
raised, that low commodity levels
through the world are due to part to
depreciated currencies as measured
by the gold standard."
"His admission that it seems
sestial that there be a supplementary
system of currency based on silver
for the currency based on gold," Pitt
man said, "leads to the conclusion
that he feels as for those countries
that can not at present reestablish
their gold reserve It would be
better to aid in expansion of their
currency rather than to be driven
to an expansion of currency In tha
nature of fiat money."
