asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the importance of restoring the buying powers of the silver standard countries, whether the Government will inform the Government of the United States of America that it is in favour of an international conference on the monetary basis of silver, as advocated by the resolution passed by Congress?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply by my right hon. Friend on 17th February last to the hon. Member for Chislehurst (Mr. Smithers).
