...Secretary of the Treasury will buy silver until this objective is attained-some 1,300,000,000 oz. or approximately twice the amount the U. S. now holds. However he will buy only if and when his own judgment tells him to. By law he is forbidden to pay more than 50? an oz. for silver in the U. S. on May 1.

Germany, forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles to import armaments, receives generous supplies from Sweden (where Krupp controls the armament firm of Bofors) and Holland; forbidden to Export armaments, she ships to South America, the Far East, or to any European nation that will violate its own treaty by ordering from...
