| STABILISING · EXCHANGE.
Mr. Marshall Stevens's Scheme.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce recently approved the principles of the Ter Meulen bond scheme for facilitating trade with Europe, but expressed the opinion, that the bonds ought to be freely negotiable to make: them "a credit acceptable to sup- |plies." Carrying criticism further,
Sir D. Drummond Fraser outlined i in the Manchester Guardian ai schenio wherebyTer Meulen bondsi could be made negotiable without increasing inflation. In the veiwi of some business men, however the Tor Menlen hond scheme) does not go far enough to meet the problem of stablishing the exchanges. Mr. Marshall Stevens, M.P., who has given a good deal of thought to the subject, is of this opinion, and he has prepared a scheme for stabilising the exchanges which, merits examination,
He proposes that the five) principal Allied Powers should! establish an Inter-Allied Com- mission, one of the functions of which should be to issue trading) warrants bearing a common face value stabilised and expressed in pounds sterling,, dollars, franes, and lire, calculated to a parity of approximately pre-war rates of exchange. These trading war rants could be acquired by the traders of any country in exch. ange for securities already issued by the participating countries.i A list of such securities issued by the Governments of Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy, and Belgium, and acceptable in exchange for trading warrants: should be prepared and published by
the Commission, and it should comprise almost any of the securities for which the in- |dividual Governmets are pledged so long as they are redeem- able at distant dates. The listed securities should be accepted by the Commission in exchange for trading warrants at the day's officially quoted value, in the country of issue, and Commission wond retain them in its treasury and collect the interest periodi- cally due to them. This interest, against which there would be no liabilily so long as the trading warrants were circulating, would be, in Mr. Stevens's opinion, the key of the whole schonte. It would furnish, a revenue more Thân anh la to cover any contin- gency, and would provide even an adequate insurance in case of the bankruptcy of any one of the Allied Powers that is a party to the arrangement,
. The Commission would under- take to exchange trading warranty issued, but no longer required in circulation, for Inter-Allied inter- est hearing bands. The interests of these bonds could be varied in such a manner as to maintain the market value at or about par, the Commission announcing varia- This tions every six months. would maintain the trading war- rants at about par value.
So long as the trading warrants provided the best value in exch- ange, and so long as they were not over issued they would remain in circulation. They would bear no interest, and the larger the
the number issued
Larger the number of Inter-Allied securities absorbed. Impoverished countries, including former enemy countries, would benefit by the scheme, inasmuch as they would be able to purchase trading | warrants by acquiring bonds of that particular country, where by reason of the ruling exchange the transaction would result most favourably. Thus, at the present time they would acquire trading warrante in exchange for Italian Bonds, and thus alleviate to some extent the difficulty of trading with the United States or Great Britain....
