MERRY CHRISTMAS TheWhite Christmas which was ‘put on last week by the school children of Nevada City is after all the ideal way to celebrate the birthday of him who was sent to bring joy~to the _ arth. It is indeed excellent training for the children to think of those less fortunate than themselves.

But the silver question, like the ghost of Hamlet, absolutely will not down. If William Jennings Bryan was alive today he would be a mightly man and we venture to say would have to be considered. in: national affairs. Senator Pittman is advotating an international: agreement ti abandon the _practice of selling silver among governments as a means of stabiling the silver market. In speaking over the National Broadcasting Company chain, Pittman also urges an international agreement for the purpose of stabalizing the price of silver and the use of silver for monetary purposes. The Senator as chairman of a senate committee appointed to investigate the depressed condition of silver, soundly criticized the action of the British government for India in substituting paper shin-plasters for silver money and goes on to say: “The abandonment of the policy of the British government in India will immediately permit silver to go back to its normal price of around 60 cents an ounce. The ultimate stabilization of silver will undoubtedly be above the price of 60 cents an ounce,’ he said. “When the dumping of silver has ceased the United States, “Great Britain, France, Japan and other countries enjoying great cimmercial benefits in China may lend to the national government of China financial and expert aid for the pacifi_cation of China and the revivication of that great country. All China needs is friendly co-operation and financial aid. “If a silver fund could be provided by interested governments for use in China, to be advanced as and when needed for purposes to be approved by a commission of the powers participating in such advance, war in China would cease and the soldiers who are fighting in armies for food would engage in peaceful occupations for the national government. “If such results were consummated, we are advised by wit_ ness who should know that te commerce of China would increase ten-fold in a few weeks time. This is not surprising when we know that China has about one-fourth of the popu_ lation of the world and a rich territory approximately as large as all of the United States and Mexico combined. It is possessed of a peaceful, industrious and friendly people. It is the next door neighbor of the United States across the Pacific and today we are connected in our commerce by a great Pa_. “The United States government has in its treasury bed tween 400,000,000 and 500,000,000 standard silver dollars _ that constitute a dead, frozen asset, earning no interest whatever. This silver has, in the past been used to meet world emer~ gencies, an dit can, under proper conditions and inducements probably. be used again as part of a fund for the revivication of China.
