DEADLOC

AT WORLD

CONFERENCE

FRENCH ECONOMIC DELEGATES MOST DISAPPOINTED

LONDON, TO-DAY. ·

THE UNITED STATES ADMINISTRATION, MORE CON- CERNED WITH ITS INTERNAL INFLATION PROGRAMME, IS NOT PREPARED TO AGREE TO CURRENCY STABILISA- TION, AND THE REPORT THAT A VIRTUAL AGREEMENT HAD BEEN REACHED FOR THE STABILISATION, OF THE DOLLAR AT THE PRESENT APPROXIMATE POUND RATE OF 4.05 IS OFFICIALLY DENIED IN WASHINGTON

Work on the major problems may be seriously held up as a result of the stabilisation deadlock. The French delegates are most disappointed at 'resident Roosevelt's non-acceptance of the stabilisation proposals.

The remark of a French observer, that it is impossible to build a permanent economic structure on the quicksand of unstable currency is regarded as implying that until the stabilisation hurdle is cleared, the French feel that it is useless to discuss any question such as tariffs. though it doubtless will suggests that the Conference carry on other work to avoid any semblance of a deadlock.-Reuter.
