(U.R)-r-Two widely divergent views, on the silver question were presented Wednesday at a luncheon of the Utah Min- Ling Exehangre, by Utah's two t United States senators. Senator Reed Smoot, dean of the senate, declared that the most practical way to restore silver to Its normal price would be to establish a practical ratio of silver to gold. He did not state what ratio he considered' practical. Declaring "I will go - anywhere and do anything and all I can to restore the price of silver," Smoot read a telegram from 'President Herbert Hoover stating that it would be useless to hold an international inter-national conference. f Smoot declared England would not join the conference if one were called, adding ?'m. not trying to find fault with England, butt we must, educate -heir ta our viewpoint, on the vrestoration question, f ' "I have -no doubt that the United States will do all possible to bring a return of normal prices," Smoot said.: "God knows she' is willing to do all within her- power to , accomplish ac-complish this, but we have a world to deal with." King Disagrees- Senator William H. King defended defend-ed the proposed international conference, con-ference, suggesting a representative representa-tive sent by each nation would do much to solve the problem. He suggested London as the proper meeting place. "I'm glad my colleague takes the stand, he does," King said, "but I do; not agree with: ; him on many things he has said. While I do not claim an international conference would permanently solve this-great question, it would be a step in the right direction.. I've seen too many 'experts', who know nothing of the question involved attempt to solve slmlliar problems." . King said he was glad to see the business men of the country concerning con-cerning themselves with the metals questions.' ' ' The junior senator disagreed with Smoot that Great Britain woul4 refuse to participate.
