FUTURE OF FRENCH INTEREST DEALER IN WARSHIPS
THE DOLLAR IN MANCHUKUO
GRADUAL CORRECTION OF UNDERVALUATION
TIMES COMMENT
The Times commenting on tho future course of the American dollar reflects the growing belief that the under-valuation of the dollar may soon be corrected.
The Journal points out that while the dollar is falling from its parity with gold currencies, commercial demand is tempted to wait until the readjustment of
values has boen completed.
It is, therefore, likely that when parity is reached, there may be a temporary rebound, probably lead- ing to a resumption of gold ship- ments, but the dlaturbance to Europe in this event will be less violent than when the dollar was
first revalued.
