Solution Not Far "Off
Washington, May 11. Legislation to clarify the silver position is expected soon, as Pre- sident Roosevelt has apparently informed the Treasury.Secretary, Mr. Henry Morgenthau, how far he is willing to go to meet the views of the silver group.
Mr. Morgenthau has already re- ported to President Roosevelt the results of his conferences with the Congress members, who are con- cerned with silver.
He has now notified the Sena- tors, who are interested, that the Treasury is ready for further dis- cussions at any time.
