Most of you know something that has hardly had any mention in the mainstream press at all, and this is the valiant effort of Hugo Salinas Price to work for the reinstitution of silver into the monetary system of Mexico. His latest effort was defeated, but Hugo assured me that the silver cause has more friends than ever and some of these will be Diputados, or Representatives as they are known in the U.S. So the battle will go on.
