WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The treas
ury tried to laugh off the silver break
with an aide remark that Secretary
! Morgenthau overslept that morning.
. - Whn th hroelr
cont tnued the
second day there
were outside sus
picions that he
had developed
sleeping sickness.
The unexplain
ed truth of the
matter seems to
be exactly the
opposite. Silver
speculators have
caught him nap
ping so often In
rLL .MALLON the past that he
seems to have developed Insomnia
on that subject.
The result is that behind his
feigned yawning there appears to be
emerging a well-studied change In his
buying strategy. It does not necessar
ily Involve any change In basic pol
icy. The mandate of congress Is still
being seriously respected within the
treasury, but Mr. Morgenthau seems
to have developed Into a wary buyer
rather than a good-time Charley who
would take In all the diver anyone
has to offer at any price.
Mr. Morgenthau's purpose (as dic
tated by congress) is twofold: (a) to
increase the price of silver eventu
ally to $1.20 and (b) to accumulate
tremtndous bulk of it. until it
reaches one-third of his gold. These
purposes often conflict.
That is, any buyer who does not
want to pmy a game for greenback
ers

He
bef
ers wll try to accumulate as much
er as he can at moderate prices.
will get as much sliver as he can
before finally bidding the price to
me lop. He win keep his eye on bulk
as well as price.
The fundamental error which
causes all the misunderstandings In
the situation seems to be this: The
Inflationists passed the silver act In
the belief that the treasury would
buy faster than it could afford, thus
forcing It Into Inflation. The treas
ury Is following the letter of the law,
but not the hopes of the inflationists.
This error will probably continue
In status quo until after the next
elections at least.
If the top republicans wanted any
explanation of Senator Borah's In
tentlons. they got It In his latest
speech. He tipped his hand practl
cally palm up by attacking both
President Roosevelt and Mr. Hoover.
The Idahoan has been attacking
Mr. Roosevelt all along, but this was
the first time he said anything point
ed about the holdover leader of his
own party. Of course he failed to
mention Mr. Hoover's name, but he
left nothing to the Imagination about
the Identity of the object of his re
marks. Mr. Borah's ma'n purpose In life

American, British and Ital
ian Delegates to Naval
Conference Flatly Reject
France Also Opposed
By LLOYD I.EIIRT3A3
(Copyright, 1935, by the Associated
Press)
LONDON. Eng., Dec. 12. Japan's
demand for equality In naval strength
was rejected at the International na
val conference today by the lour
other great naval powers and the
British dominions.
American, British and Italian dele
gates flatly rejected the Japanese pro
posal, and had the support of the
British dominions, while France ex
pressed opposition chiefly on grounds
of procedure.
It was understood the British took
the lead in opposing the Japanese
demands.
The meeting broke up at noon,
with the Japanese leaving hastily.
Although they are usually the first
to depart, their hurried exit created
the Impression at the moment that
they were walking out of the con
ference. Well informed sburces said, how
ever, the Japanese merely wished to
submit certain questions to Tokyo.
