A disturbed international milver market again held Wall attention today as speculators continued to sell "stale" long holdings in London. The New York price for imported bar silver was reduced for the third successive time to cents an ounce, the lowest since April 10; The decline today was of a cent, and the total drop since Monday is 236 cents. Reports from Washington and London revealed that the United States treasury is continuing its buying of metal in the British open market, but had failed to stem the downward trend.

The London price for bar metal was reduced of a penny to the equivalent of 65.09 cents. Banking quarters studied the statement of Secretary Mor- genthau that the treasury buying on Wednesday in London had been more than 25,500,000 ounces.

15. (AP) A return to open silver trading in the United States was voted today by the senate. Without debate, an amendment was added to the tax bill which Senator Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, said would "bring the silver market to America." Offered by McCarran, Democrat. Nevada, the amendment would repeal those sections of the silver purchase law which authorize nationalization of silver, tax trading profits at 5(1 per cent and require licenses for Imports-and exports. Earlier, Thomas, after conferring with Secretary Morgenthau, said the government's silver purchase program was a "farce," because the treasury was seeking to buy the white metal as cheaply as possible instead of driving the price upward.

Prices Still Drop Coincidentally, continued silver purchases failed to stem the downward trend of prices. Another senate development was a resolution introduced by Senator Pittman. Democrat, Nevada, to authorize a special committee of five to confer with Morgenthau and study the effect ot the silver buying program here and abroad. Its approval was expected. Thomas also introduced a resolution for a silver investigation by the agriculture committee.

The treasury was reported unfavorable to the McCarran amendment, preferring to keep control of silver in this country. Some quarters forecast its rejection by the house. Open silver markets disappeared when President Roosevelt nationalised the metal a year ago. Slump Is Retarded The-'silver purchase law directs buying until treasury stocks reach one-third the gold supply or the price S1.29 an ounce. Even an announcement by Secretary Morgenthau that the government was "still buying" failed to do more than retard the price slump today.

Morgenthau's statement followed last night's treasury announcement that more than 25,500.000 ounces had been purchased yesterday. Thomas conferred with Morgen- thau during the day. Afterward he said the silver program "might as well be abandoned" unless the government was going to buy -with view to remonetizing the metal. "1 thought we had a silver policy," he said on his return to the capitol. "but we haven't any, other than to buy silver at the lowest possible price.

In that case we made a terrible mistake by enacting the program because we conld have bought it for 25 or 30 cents an ounce. "Unless the government plans to (Continued On Paso 7, Col. i) U. S. Best Bet Against War I Aug.

Pompeo Aloisi, head of the Italian delegation to the tri-power conference opening tomorrow, informed the British representative, Anthony Eden, tonight that Italy's minimum demand for peaceful settlement of her dispute with Ethiopia was occupation of Ethiopia by the Italian army. Aloisi said Premier Mussolini would require this condition in order to provide for the enforcement ot economic privileges. Italy, he said, would not be able to accept the British plan for economic concessions in Ethiopia unless Italy could make Ethiopia respect them. This, he said, would mean Italy must keep armed forces in the East African country. Aloisi was induced to call on Eden, it was learned, by Premier Pierre Laval after the Italian had refused to visit the British diplomat separately on the eve of the scheduled conference between delegates of the French, Italian and British governments.

Still Far Apart After the meeting it was said in informed quarters thoir positions were as "irreconcilable" as before the meeting. Premier Laval, convinced peace in Africa and the political stability ol Europe depend upon his efforts to get Britain and Italy to agree, talked with both Eden and Baron Aloisi, but he found their viewpoints still widely divergent. Laval heard Aloisi reaffirm Benito- Mussolini's determination to have some sort of political control over Ethiopia. After one talk Eden returned again to the Quay id'Orsay late in the afternoon and stressed that Britain is only prepared to cpnsenl to Italy's economic penetration of the African to a political penetration.
