Washington, To-day.
A high official of the United States Adminis- tration yesterday told a “United Press” represen- tative that the Administration was adopting more orthodox methods regarding the monetary policy.
Admiral Sir Roger Keyes, Conservative Member of Parliament for Portsmouth, who in a vigorous speech, the yesterday, attacking London Naval Treaty, de-. clared that Japan's Navy was "untouchable.” “
The new programme is opposite to the ex- perimental policy represented by such technique as the gold price scheme, which is not entirely satisfactory in lifting domestic commodity prices.- Official intimations of the shift is borne out by several re-
cent and prospective monetary development as follows:
1. President Roosevelt's present opposition to the various mandatory silver - rebabältatiori and dollar cheapening proposals.
2. The prospective budget deficit for the current year is sp-| proximately half the estimated U.S.$7,309,000,000.
3. The decrease in Governmental expenditures with the con- sequent reduction of borrowing needs and a stronger 'Gorern- ment credit
4. The indications of the abandonment of experimental boosts in the gold, price, indicating no reductions at the present time in the dollar's gold content.
5. Preparations for the Government's U.S.$2,000,000,000 ex- change stabilisation fund whereby it is thought that it may be possible to control better domestic commodity prices without more experimenting.`
