an eye on is Newton D. Baker.
Lots of Democrats would like to

he will be the party’s nommee in
1932. He will be heard from in the
campaign, however, and will figure
large in any Democratic adminis
tration in his lifetime.
Mr. Baker is, I believe, the most
effective and convincing orator in
American public life today. His ad

SILVER-r-
If I had loose capital to invest
today I would buy silver. The metal
is selling now at I the lowest price
in history, measured by the gold
standard. In the money markets of
the world last week it was under
twenty-nine cents an ounce. The
average price of silver for the past
fifty .years has been well above
sixty cents an ounce; during and

could not have been carried out. It
enabled the President to talk as

Stimson when they were in .Paris
and Lohd ui as if they had been in
Washington.
“The^ difference between tele
phoning and cabling in a case like
this,” one of the President’s close
friends explained to me, “is that,
even when a cable message out
in secret code there is a record of
it, somewhere, and diplomacy
makes it impossible to express be
liefs and opinions freely or to tell
the actual complete facts in all
cases, since there is always the
chance that the record will so’nu*

of the League of Nations. Mr.

Mr. Davis was one of President Wil
