OPINIONS
ITALY NEEDS METAL IF
WAR STARTS
Washington, Sept. 4. Governmental silver experts, interviewed by the United Press here to-day, admitted that they were puzzled as to the possible effects an Italio-Ethiopian war would have on the silver situation.
They said that the degree to which the silver market could be affected would be dependent on the extent of the war..
They pointed out that past conflicts had generally tended to increase the price of silver due to the necessity for large purchases of war commodities.
They cited the instance of the World War when the United States Government was compelled to fix the silver price through the Pittman. Act in order to prevent a prohibitive cost for the metal.
