The fact that the Roosevelt Administration really wants to see [8652 world currencies stabilised-that is made interchangeable with gold at a fixed rate-is revealed by the numerous trial balloons sent up in Washington, but the uncertainty of the American attitude lay in Mr. Morgenthau's recent wariness.

No one can doubt that the impedl- ments in the path of currency stabilsation are immense and practically
