Washington, Aug. 15.-Republican Representative James Fulton told the United Press today that he believed that "the United States should move immediately to ob- tain a standard rate of exchange and stabilise the cur- rency in Japan.” Mr - Fulton is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs sub-committee trade,
Mr Fulton said a stabilised rate of exchange would work for the good of Japanese business and in- dustry and for the good of world- wide trade as well. He said, "There are at present many rates of ex change over there and we have been Ennis, County Clare, Eire, Aug. so far unable to stabilise them bo- 15-Eamon de Valera, former Prime cause of objections voiced by other.
