Move toward nationalization of silver bill circulates on Capitol Hill
United Press reports in 1924 that a bill to nationalize domestic silver and restore 1926 commodity price levels circulates secretly on Capitol Hill. The Dies silver bill is viewed as a compromise base, with administration officials negotiating terms to avoid a presidential veto. Senator Thomas proposes amendments to attach similar provisions to the Dies bill, detailing silver nationalization by purchase at high spot prices, payments in silver certificates, and monthly foreign-silver purchases to restore prices and align with gold parity.
