GOLD BLOC

MIDNIGHT MEETING

LONDON, JULY 6.

NOTHING CAN NOW SAVE THE WORLD ECONOMIC.CONFERENCE, IN THE OPINION OF THOSE CLOSEST TO THE STAGE WHERE THE FINAL DRAMA IS BEING-ENACTED.

At a meeting of the gold countries held at midnight, following the receipt of a message from President Roosevelt, a resolution for the adjournment of the conference was unanimously adopted, virtually sealing its doom.

The Roosevelt statement was regarded as concilia- tory in tone, but as offering nothing to meet the views of the European gold bloc. It is, therefore, felt to be useless waste of time to pursue the economic dis-

cussions.
