Washington, May 8.

Definite steps for improving the status of silver in the United States are now almost certain to be authorised.

President Roosevelt, it is indicated, is prepared to ac- cept mandatory legislation during the present session of Congress, provided the more inflationary side of the silver boosters' programme is dropped.

It is learned that the President, at the White House conference to-day, outlined to the silver advocates, a two-way programme (which presumably he is prepared to endorse if passed by Congress) involving the nation- alisation of silver and a twenty-five per cent, silver base for the monetary system.
