Conference Today Between Frènch and British Officials\u2014Original French Plan of Drafting Arms Convention at Geneva Likely to Be Adopted\u2014 French Declare British Conciliatory Policy Will Only Encourage Hitler.Paris, Docembor 22.\u2014France\u2019s refusal to continue direct disarmament talks with Chancellor Adolf Hitler, of Germany, was submitted for British approval today.The draft was discussed at a meeting of Premier Camille Chau-temps, Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary, and French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joseph Paul-Boneour, in the presence of Lord Tyrell, British Ambassador.The French Government, with expected British support, planned to declare its policy before Parliament tomorrow or Sunday in response to pressure in the Chamber of Deputies for dropping direct Berlin discussions on arms.Then, it was considered likely, there would be a return to the original French plan of drafting an arms convention at Geneva with which Germany would be confronted.The conference got down to brass tacks, calling in experts to join them in a minute examination of the demands for the right to arms equality voiced in a confidential note to Paul-Boncour by the German Chancellor several days ago.A Franco-German non-aggressaon pact, which the British were said to favor, was regarded suspiciously by the French, who considered it a weak substitute for the Locarno pact and dangerous because it would - abolish the demilitarized zone along BRITISH CURRENCIES ADVANCED TODAY New York, Dec.22.\u2014Moderate advances in British and gold standard

plans for lifting commodity prices.By proclamation, he opened federal mints to newly-mined silver in a programme estimated to push the metal\u2019s price from around forty-three to sixty-four and a half cents an ounce, add millions to the country's mining wealth and spur exports to silver-using countries.Silver produced domestically from today until December 31st, 1937, will be accepted by the mints.Half will be coined and returned in dollars to the producer, and half surrendered to the Government and held in reserve.Mr.Roosevelt\u2019s proclamation formally ratified the London silver agreement by which it was understood the United States would absorb annually at least 24,421,410 ounces of its silver production, approximately the 1932 output.Simultaneously with promulgation of silver coinage, the Government evidenced anew its intention to continue gold buying.The R.F.C.increased funds set asÀde for such purchases from $75,000,000 to $100,000,-000, and disclosed that 507,485 ounces had been acquired domestically for $16,976,000._______________________________ A hint of other moves to come in ^ the Government\u2019s march toward a commodity dollar was contained in this
