POUND AND DOLLAR
STABILISATION TREND
Now York, Dec. 11.
The process of the dollar and pound stabilisation may be said to hava begun, declares the Washing- ton correspondent of the New York' Times, who says that the Ad- ministration believes that it is de- finitely able to stabilise the dollar at 62 cents and blames both Bri- tuln and France for the delay in reaching an agreement,
The correspondent adds that twice recently the Administration has proposed the dollar-pound etabilisation to the British Gov- ornment, but Britain allegedly professed her inability to take an effective initiative in the matter at the present time.
"The same journal gives the fol- lowing reasons for this attitude.
Firstly, the opportunity, should first be given to France to aban don the gold standard and revoluc the_frane; secondly, the presence in London of American capital, which might return to the United Statos; thirdly, the dolo might bo turned into an unknown budgetting quantity; fourthly, Britain las not yet decided on a proper ratio for price lovela in relation to the ex- port trade; and fifthly, fears that Proafdont Roosevelt is not a "sound money man," but an fufla- tionist, and that Congress may upset any stabilisation plan.- Reuter.
High Tariff Wall
Pasadena, Dec. 11. A high tarif wall around the United States, and silver as a currency medium within these walls is the only way that America can be put back on her feet, accord- ing to Mr. John Hays Hammond, the famous American mining engineer.
Mr. Hammond unequivocally con- domns President Roosevelt's ex- periments in currency inflation and the issue of flat dollars. He pre- diets that the United States will eventually be forced into bime- talliam because for 2,000 years "parity between gold and silver existed on a 16 to 1 basis."
Mr. Hammond does not consider that the United States will gain much advantage by the recognition of Soviet Russia-Reuter,.

London, Dec. 11: Monsiour Avenol; who became Secretary-General of the Lengue of Nations as successor to Sir Eric Drummond, after ten years as Second-in-command as Secretary, reached London yesterday after visits to Rome and Paris.
He will be a guest of Sir John Sinion at luncheon at the House of Commons to-day and will ad- dreas membora of Parliament in the Commiitos Room afterwards.
Later in the work he will dieet the Prime Minister and other members of the Cabinet,
The Times, in a leading article, points out that the visit was ar ranged some months ago, and it is therefore a coincidence that. It comes just after the declaration by the Fascist. Grand Council in favour of a reformid constitution for the League of Nations. But the paper adds that the subject |will no doubt be a topic of discus- alon during M. Avenol'a visit to London, as it was in Rome and Paris. British Wirelcas.
