DANGER TO FRANC
PARIS, OCT. 24.
THE FALL OF THE DALADIER GOVERN- MENT, WHILE NOT UNEXPECTED, IS VIEWED WITH APPREHENSION IN 'MANY QUARTERS.
Right up to the last moment it was hoped that the Socialists could be won over to the Budget proposals, but the Socialists declined to vote for salary cuts.
No-one doubts that the development may pre- cipitate a serious crisis, the obvious danger to the franc being one reason and the grave international situation arising from Germany's withdrawal from the League being another.
•
M. Daladier's government, which kept in office for about nine months, was the third combination of the Radicals and the Socialists in the present Legislature, the other Cabinets of the same associations being those of M. Herriot and M. Paul-Boncour.

·U.S. MONETARY POLICY
ENTERING-GOLD MARKET
Washington, Oct. 23.
The belief is growing that President Roosevelt'san- - nouncement on monetary policy means that an attempt s to be made to establish what is termed a "Com- modity Dollar.”
It is announced by trustworthy sources that the Government may 30 expected to begin the purchase of newly-mined god through the Reconstruction Financo Corporn- tion (as President Roosevelt fore- shadowed yesterday) almost im- mediately.
There is also reason to believe that the price to be fixed will pro- bably be above the London "and" Paris market prices.
CHEAPER DOLLAR,
Omcials believe that the effect of fixing the price at a higher rato will be calculated to free the American dollar from European Influencé and will result
(1) in the cheapening of the dollar as compared with sterling or francs;
(2) an increase in the world' price of gold because twenty-five or thirty. thousand ounces which have hitherto been shipped out would remain in the United States.- Router.
