war it was necessary therefore that the indian troops of whom it is said by richard barry ha the new york times that there are a million spread over various parts of the world should continue to ha paid in allver it waa just aa neoes- sary that the hundreds of thouatmda even the millions of indian natives who have been engaged on war work or producing various uecebsary raw materials tor the government should be paid in silver otherwise they would go on strike production would stop and rioting begin it was abso lutely necessary that in tho indian umpire there should be no shortage of silver what made tho problem almost desperate was that the maximum of demand for allver in india and in deed in the rest of the world co incided with the minimum of bttpply in 1913 the world produced 225000- 000 ounces which kept it going com fortably in 1910 tho production waa reducod onetblrd for the great bllvor mines in mexico unci russia were al most idle because of revolution dis order and war and in other silver- producing countrk8 try tho demands of the armies and uleo ly the increas ed wage demands of miners in these eiroumstances tho prlco pt silver ad vanced from about 50c an ounce to a dollar an ounce the british govern ments eager buying of all the silver that came to the market tor her in- i dlan account did much to force up the prlcewhich last year waa fixed by the government at si an ounce but the demandb of other countriea particularly china and japan kept the price still advancing and at a dollar an ounce the british govern- ment was not able to get all the sli ver- it required tor india the arrangements by which uncle bam came to the rescue showed a fine sense of the consolidation of british and american interests for the american government realised that trouble for john bull in india was equally trouble fori uncle sara in france there waa a common purse as well as a common table the negotiations which led to the united states lending the britiah govern ment 100000000 in silver coin were concluded ii they were not ini tiated by lord reading and every where he is given great credit tor them the first step taken by the united states government was to fix the price of bilver at 101 h an ounce and to forbid its export except with the permission of tho federal reserve board a department of the government in the vaults of the treasury at washington were lying 100000000 silver dollars which were handed over to the british government for shipment to india and to mako the transaction more dramatic they were melted into bullion that set tled the indian crisis at least tor the time being although allver la scarce and dear today and like gold ita international circulation la forbidden except by government permission production has inoreaaed somewhat and now there is a shortage compared with normal times of only about 20 per cent the many manufacturers who make use of silver in various arts are naturally seriously crippled by the shortage and by the competi tion of the allied governments but the important thing in that the credit of the british government in tbeeyes of ita millions of subjects in india remains firm and
