NEW SILVER BILL CAUTION

NO TIME LIMIT SET FOR RATIO FULFILMENT

PRESIDENT'S INTENTION NOT CLEAR

London, May 23.

President Roosevelt's Silver Message, submitted to Congress this afternoon, has had a mixed reception although it conforms to predic tions. Bimotallism on a 25:75 ratio is man- datory, and the Bill authorisos and directs the President to carry the policy into effect. But no time limit to the completion of the programme is set and the President refers to international negotiations for bringing other countries into line. Typical of the comment on the proposals is that of the Daily Telegraph, which adopts a cautious view and declares that clearly President Roosevelt has been persuaded to give the silver interests a great deal, but it remains to be seen what is the relative im portance of the mandatory and permissive clauses of the new Silver Bill.
