THOMAS DENOUNCES U.S. SILVER POLICY
TERRIBLE MISTAKE IN ENACTING PROGRAMME
A “FARCICAL" PURCHASE SCHEME
Washington, To-day.
Mr. Morgenthau, Secretary to the Treasury, said that the Treasury yesterday was again buy- ing silver in the London market, which was quieter than after Wednesday's heavy United States intervention.
The Canadian commodity exchange has amended the silver trading rules by increasing the price fluctuation limitation from 3 cents to 5 cents, effective from September 3.
The Federal Housing Administrator. Mr. James Moffet, has returned from his world cruise. Speaking of his tour through China he said that economic disasters there are blamed on the American silver policy. "It is the strongest kind of propaganda.; and it is not serving America any good.”
A later message from Washington states that following a conference with Mr. Morgenthau on the subject of the United States silver policy Senator Thomas stated: "Unless the Govern |ment buys sufficient silver in a way that will make the silver dol lar actually worth a dollar, the programme might as well be aban
doned. Otherwise the Government will be left holding a lot of si
ver and the only ones who will profit will be foreign speculators.” Immediately after Mr. Thomas's statement Mr. Morgenthau announced that the Government was still buying silver.

Rome, To-day.
“Veiled threats can make no impression on Fascist Italy," says the semi-official "Giornale d'Italia, commenting on an article in Wednes day's issue of the London "Times" headed "Mis- sion for Peace, dealing with the task facing Mr. Anthony Eden at the forthcoming three-Power conference at Paris.
The paper terms this article an attempt at blackmail and not gentlemanlike, adding that Italy's attitude towards the three- Power conference, to which England had furnished such intoler- able overtures, would be one of distinct distrust.
