PRESIDENT AND DOLLAR
STRONG STABILISATION RUMOURS
GOLD POLICY TO CONTINUE
com-
New York, Nov. 24. President Roosevelt has let it be known definitely in a munication from Warm Springs hat he has no intention, despite moura to the contrary, of changing his gold control pro- gramme.
The American dollar improved appreciably to-day, its strength be- Ing attributed to expectations of Carly atabiisation, based upon the fact that the domestle gold price has not been changed for the fourth successive day.

There is also better under- standing of President Roosey- elt'a monetary policy, which is having a steadying effect and giving greater confidence.

Exports are still puzzled that no fatalities occurred. As soon as first news of the smash reached Shanghai air officials, long before it became widely known, rescue planos were sent out. They soon discovered the wreckage of the machine-it was a complete wreck-and returned to Shanghai reporting that they were convinced that all the occupants had been killed.
As a matter of fact only two, the Countess of Carlisle and a Chinese passenger had been at all seriously injured.
Examination of the Countess revealed two She was broken ankles and minor injuries, badly shaken by the crash, but is positively in no danger.
Mr. William Ehmers, one of the American pilots, also suffered two broken ankles.
It is understood that this was one of the first flights on the Shanghai-Canton air route on which passengers were permitted to be carried.
