on
London, July 26. Remarking a debate public work expenditure in the Commons to-night, the Chancellor of the Exchequer repudiated tho suggestion that the adjourn. ment of the World Conference was synonymous with its conclu- sion or completion.
It is clear that the conference was obliged to adjourn without being able to tackle the most important part of the agenda becauso condi- tions intervened just as the con ference began which made it im- possible at present, to continue the discussions usefully upon some of the most important points.
He entirely agreed that in the circumstances in the United States recently, it was impossible for that Government to contemplate the tem- porary stabilisation of their cur- rency.
He saw no reason to assume that there should not be a reassembly of the conference when changed cir
