THE PRESTIGE OF THE
AMERICAN DEBT INCUBUS.
When will the £ sterling reach its pre- whr value in the 'nited States?
Banking gad exchange' authorities are generally loth to make any definite esti mates, but the general opinion is not so optimistic as that of Sir Felix Schuster, who has been tellug the American Cham- ber of Commence in London that there
renson whatever why the sterling should not before very hing, be on pre-war parity with the dollar.

"I agree with Sir Félix Schuster that a return of the £ sterling to parity with the dollar-in other words, tn gold purity is eminently desirable," a leading Lon- don banking authority with uurivalled knowledge of the foreign exchange mar- ket said to a Daily Mail representative,
but with the incubus of our debt to the United States "I do not agree that. this goal can be achieved soon. I think rather that we shall see a gradual, rise
in the value.
"The present or any British Govern ment is. I believe, likely to be impressed with the necessity of reducing this in cubus as quickly as possible. Far from taking advantage of the American, debt settlement clauses that enable it to past. pone the scheduled payments of principal and interest, this country will, I believe, exercise its option of making payments of principal in advance of the schedule.

run, by reducing the great incubus of the American debt and giring proof of our OFFICE 498, Wanchai Road. determination to remove it as soon as GODOWNS. possible, the policy of accelerated repay- ments will enhance the value of sterling.
"For the exchange value of the £ sterling depends not only on the balances of trade but also on the esteem with which it is held abroad. That was clearly soch a few months ago when the talk of the possible renewal of inflation. fort nately unfounded, caused a severe drop in the American quotation of sterling.
The psychological factor is very powerful in the exchange market, and we should cotatantly impress upon the American and other nations, not only by words such as Sir Felix Schuster has wisely uttered, but also by deeds, our determination not to depart from the parts of sound and ropesrvative finance.
Any threat of departure by the Gov- ernment from these paths is bound to be reflected in a weakening of the inter- national position of sterling.
Another leading banker considered that development of Empire and other sources of raw materials for which we are at present dependent on the United States is Ekely to mitigate the effect on sterling of the operous, American debt terms. He mentioned particularly the increasing production of cotton 'h the Sudan and in Brazil.
The adoption of the chacune of the Alled experts," according to another. hanking authority, will enhates the value of sterling by contributing to the settlement of a grave European problem, States to employ more of its big gold balants in European finance."

the finance authority, in 7he Weekly Dis palch writes:
The omens are favourable for a m turn to par] on the politics and senti- mental side. The Government has declar od itself on the side of the gold standard, and hopes of settlement in Europe, and the extraordinary sacos with which France defeated what she believed to be
a. concerted attack on the fraue, have dona much to destroy or diminish some of the political influences that have been depres ing the pound.
But the sensitiveness that the exchange- market has shown to sentimental influences makes it dangerous to be too confident about the future of the pouad's value so long as we have a Government that may at any time be driven by its extremist supporters into doing something rash,or foolish in Gonner.
