WASHINGTON. May 8.—Defi-
nite White House assent to a
three-point program for expanded
use of silver was reported today at
the capitol after a conference bo-
tween President Roosevelt and
members of the Senate silver bloc.
The points on which the Presi-
dent was said to have given con-
sent were:
1 . Nationalization of silver.
2 Re-establishment of silver as
basic money.
3. Silver purchase by the treas-
ury until 25 per cent of the me-
tallic reserve is in the form of sil-
ver.
The silver senators were told to
prepare legislation which would
accomplish the three-fold program
which was .expected to emerge as
a national policy.
The White House conference
President Roosevelt cancelled air was attended by Senator William
H. King, Democrat, Utah, chair-
man of the silver bloc steering

own behalf but I purposely ab-
