dollar in the world sense--and t was so interpreted by Wall Street which was active and strong yes- ferday it will seem strange that the President should have refused to take the step in July, when the America price level was appreciably higher than it is now.

International Reactions

Taken by itself the fixing of an upper limit for. the gold value of the dollar would have no more ex- ternal significance than the fixing of the lower ruit, but the Pre- sident's statement that he proposes to establish an Exchange Fund of 82.000.000.000 (2400,000,000) to be used for the purchase and sale of gold invests his action with can- siderable international importance. Only one change has been made since December 1 in the American domestic price of gold, which has remained for some weeks at 834.- be an ounce. It has been left un- changed it this figure because it was ineffective in the world már- ket; for instance, the equivalent sterling value of the dollár at that price on Saturday would have been about $5,34 instead of $5.094. The fact that to-day the American price for gold is to be raised to 834- 45 an ounce (against a par price of $20.67) indicates that the Amer- ican Government. Intends to make the 60 per cent..gold dollar effec- tive in the exchange, makket if possible. The New York-Paris rate on Saturday was 16.261, to the dol- lar, and this would have to fall to about 15.261, for the dollar to be successfully depreciated to 60, per cent. If the pound sterling kept pace with the depreciation of the dollar the Paris-London exchange would fall from its present figure of 81, to about 78.201.. with, of course, a corresponding rise in the sterling price of gold. until the Paris-New York exchange falls to about 15.261-it tell yesterday to 15,871 America should be able to take gold from France, but her ability to do so will depend upon various factors, including the rea- "diness of buyers to takes dollars. Up to the present the difficulty has not been to sell, but to prevent people from buying dollars, owing apparently to the unduly low price level in the U. S A-for prices. there have not risen suficiently to offset the fall in the exchange value of the dollar-and the in- ducement to foreign debtora to re-

pay "their dollar debta cheaply while they can. Hence the ineffec- tiveness of the American domestic gold price."
