EMISSARY WAITS UPON

U.S. TREASURY

London, Dec. 29.

The leading British financial journal, Financial Times, through its correspondent at Washington, learns that the visit to Washington of Senor Eduardo Suarez, a member of the Mexican Finance Ministry, is believed to be connected with the campaign for modification of the United States silver buy- ing policy.

It is believed that Senor Suarez designs to obtain pre- ference for, Latin-American states where American silver purchases are concerned, and any other states with which reciprocal trade agreements have been or can be concluded.

A restrictive programme of this character is likely to bring the Administration into open conflict with representatives of the silver mining states.

Senor Suarez will confer with U.S. Treasury Department officials to-morrow and will meet leading maxbers of the so- called Silver Bloc privately on Wednesday.-Reuter. BOMBAY SILVER REVIEW

The

Sir-In a recent Pimes editorial discussing Great Britain's policy in regard to the Italo-Ethiopia dispute, the following abservation was made: "Great Britain as a member of the League in company with forty or Rifty collaborating nations, is settled in its determination to bring the present war to an end and to make it clear for future that aggression does not pay as method of meeting economic needs or of

securing re- adjustments of territory." The comment in of spo

special signifi- cance, implying as it does recognition of the claim that Italy's invasion of Ethiopia has been prompted-not so much by "Imperialistic designs" as downright economic needs.
