SILVER AND GOLD MAY GO ON
BI-METAHULO BASIS .
From The Financial Review, New
York, Dec. 15 1917.
Tho fact that the allied govern
ments favored an international mon
etary system based on silver, as well
as gold, ' stimulated interest in tho
silver market and especially in silver
companies during the week. This
plan that especially of monetizing
silver on a basis of $1 an ounce
was carefully discussed at a confer-
ence between the secretary of tho
treasury, prominent bankers and sev
eral members of congress, early in
the week. If the scheme Is worked
but along the line now being dis
cussed, gold and sliver would be put
upon a ratio of coinage together
forming tho basis upon which the
paper money of the United States
and of the allied and neutral coun
tries would bo issued bimetallism,
in other words, would be restored in
the money standard of the nations.
The scarcity of gold, which forms
the basis of currency coinage in tho
"United States and Great Britain, was
advanced at the conference as. an im
pelling argument for establishing a
bi-monetary system. Senator, Shaf
roth, of Colorado, a member qf tho
senate committee on banking and

currency, quoted A. J. Balfour as say
ing while in this country last summer
that bi-metallism eventually would
have to be established among the na
tions of the world to maintain the
equilibrium of international finance
Senator Shafroth offered a resolu
tion last week in the senate calling
updn tho President to appoint a com-
mission of three from each of the
confer at once on the feasibility of
allied nations and each neutral to
establishing bi-metallism.
Owners of silver companies in
Colorado; Utah, Montana, California,
Nevada and Arizona were scheduled
to meet in Washington towards the
end of the week for a second confer
ence. ..
