Washington, April 28.

The prediction that a continuation of the U.S. Ad- ministration's present silver policy would eventually force international currency stabilisation was made by Representative Dies, co-author of the Silver Purchase Act, to-day when discussing the present situation.

Representative Dies said: "The United States by raising the silver price to 77.57 cents an ounce is getting, or threatening to get, the world's floating supply of silver.

"Many nations have little gold and the United States has half of the world's gold. A managed curren- cy without any metallic base is never satisfactory, and the rest of the world knows it. So, with the United States buying all the silver that she can get, some other Governments are apparently bidding up the price in order to keep the silver within their own borders.

Definitely linking the $4,000,000,000 Work Relief Fund with his Social Security Programme, President Roosevelt broadcasting throughout the Nation to-night. another of his "fireside talks", outlined the six funda- mental principles for allocating the Relief Fund.

The principles were: that the projects should be useful; that a large proportion of the money spent should be in wages; that a considerable part of the cost should be returned to the Federal Government; that the money expended on each project should be actually spent during the next fiscal year, and that the projects, should give employment to persons ori relief and should be located in relief areas in relation to the number of - workers on relief.
