INTERNATIONAL "AIR FORCE
Support From The United States
BRITAIN AND GOLD
In an article published to-day by l'Agence Economique et Financiere M. Paul Raynaud, a former Minis- ter of Finance, declares that an early stabilization of the dollar and the pound is necessary if the franc is to avoid the dangers besetting it, and urges that an agreement between France and the- United States should be sought as a preliminary to securing British consent to the stabilization of the pound.
Discussing the present British attitude towards stabilization, he points out that there is a perfectly legitimate desire across the Channel to ensure that both the dollar and the gold standard currencies are likely to remain firm before once more linking the pound to gold. The British, he says, are clawing up their financial sails in a way which foretells a financial storm, and he expresses the opinion that it is the duty of the countries still. oa gold to avert the storm by timely action. Nothing can done with Great Britain, he con- cludes, until the stability of the dollar has been assured, and an attempt to secure American consent to the stabilization of the dollar ought to be made immediately.

It was a striking spectacle as the Camerons, heralded by bagpipes and drums, marched · through Marlborough Gate, the red and green tartan kilts swinging in time, white spattees gleaming in the sun, and the green and red regi- niental "colours ribbons fluttering |from the bagpipes. Awaiting them were the Scots Guards in scaret tunics, black busbies, and blue trousers While the officers of the old guard were explaining their duties to the officers of their successors, the two colours-the Guards' colours of dark blue and the Camerons enblazoned with the regimental battle honours were marched up and down by the Mr. Clark Howell, chairman of two colour ensigns.
