INDO-CHINA'S GOVERNOR KILLED IN AIR CRASH
LAST LAP OF HIS
FLIGHT HOME
MACHINE IN SNOWSTORM: GOES DOWN IN FLAMES
LEADING AIR OFFICIALS AMONG VICTIMS
Paris, Jan, 15.
M. Pierre Pasquier, the Governor-General of Indo- China, one of France's premier colonial administrators, was among ten persons burned to death when disaster overtook the new crack airmail plane, Emeraude, on her return flight from Indo-China.
The machine crashed at Corbigny and six in- cinerated bodies were recovered from the wreck before it was definitely established that the machine involved was the Emeraude from Indo-China.

CREATION OF LARGE POUND & DOLLAR
EXCHANGE FUND
Washington, Jan. 15.
Sixty per cent, devaluation of the American dollar as the upper limit, Government title to and ownership of all monetary gold in the United States, and the creation of an Exchange Equalisation Fund of $2,000,000,000 were the principal proposals in President Roosevelt's eagerly-awaited Message to Congress,
On silver, he spoke hopefully but indicated that he had no further contribution to make towards rehabilitation at present.
The Message favourably impressed the com- modity markets. There was anticipatory buy- ing, followed by rather heavy selling, offerings being taken on slight reactions, with buying becoming more active on the announcement of a new and higher gold price::

The reason that the American dollar did not weaken heavily
