CONGRESS URGED TO RENEW PRESIDENT'S POWER TO DEVALUE DOLLAR

Washington, To-day. F Testifying before the House of Representatives' coinage committee, the Secretary of Treasury, Mr. Henry Morgenthau, strongly urged re- newal of the emergency powers covering the Stabilisation Fund and dollar devaluation, which otherwise would expire on June 30. Mr. Morgenthau maintained that power to devalue the dollar had been a warning to the world that we are ready and able to defend the posi- tion of this country in world trade and to pro- tect American goods from intensified competi- tion in the United States market." Mr. Morgenthau refrained from specifically recommending re- newal of emergency powers au- thorising purchase of newly- mined silver, but drew atten- tion to the fact that these powers expire on June 30, and under the proposed Bill would be extended until January 15, 1941.

other important country had taken such action.

He said the fact that the United States had kept the gold value of the dollar through the international monetary disturb ances of the past five years should be adequate assurance that the Administration did not desire and did not intend to alter the gold value of the dollar ex- cept under circumstances clearly demanding such action.

It was stated that complainant was not living with her husband for personal reasons. He lived at No. 12 Peace Avenue, but main- tained an art school at her home.

Complainant was represented by Mr. A. S. K. Lau, while the defen- dant was represented by Mr. M. A. da Silva.

The case was adjourned for one week by Mr. E. Himsworth, at the request of the complainant's soli citor, who asked the Court to warn defendant against annoying his wife.
