PURCHASES TO START

IMMEDIATELY

Washington, May 18.

The Secretary of the United States Treasury, Mr. Henry Morgenthau, to-day announced that an agree- ment had been made to start regular purchases in sub- stantial amounts of Chinese silver.

This agreement had been made, he said, with the intention of helping the Chinese Government in their monetary programme and also to fulfil the requirements of the United States Silver Purchase programme,

Also he said that an agreement of this kind was helpful in achieving international currency stabilisation and indicated his readiness to consider further stabilisa- tion steps with other countries.

He said that he thought that conversations with other countries singly, was a better method of progress toward stabilisation than an international conference would be.

Mr. Morgenthate disclosed that the United States was ready to pay China gold or dollar credits for their ailver, He said that the amount of silver bo purchased was to be kept secret, but that the purchases would start immediately

tely and that the price would be the average of the monthly world market quotations.
