SENATE LEADER'S
EXPLANATION
BELIEVES IN FUTURE OF WHITE METAL
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinanes, 1804. Received, Aug. 19, 1 p.m.)
Washington, Aug. 11.
Abandoning hope that adjournment may be near, members of Congress are leaving the capitol.
Senator Dies, in a statement to the United Press, said to-day that he believed the Administration's silver
purchase policy had been only partially successful and had not sufficiently implemented the purpose of the Silver Purchase Act.
He believed, he said, that the programme had been a factor in the raising of the wholesale commodity price level. But encouragement to the exportation of farm commodities had been limited because the Treasury has refused to push its policy as Congress had intended.
Senator Dies agreed with Sena-¡ tor Thomas' contention that the United States should be compelled
to pay $lian ounce for silver to fulfil the one-to-three ratio reserve requirements.
He said there was no reason to unticipate future international! silver conferences because he be- lieves the nationa of the world
are taking silver as a medium of exchange, due to the fact that virtually all the gold is in the hands of the few and there is no other "hurd money" available, except silver.
