A demand for "provisional" stabilisation of exchange rates on gold is contained in a monetary re- solution to be submitted to to- morrow's final plenary session of the Congress of International Chambers of Commerce.

The resolution, which is a com- promise between the viewpoints of Britain and gold standard countries, declares that stabilisation on a gold levis ís Imperative for world economic recovery, and it therefore arges the principle that the Gov- ernments concerned should in- auguente immediately consultations for provisional stabilisation, so as to enable them to take the most speedy measures to adjust their national economic and financial policies to assure functioning of an International gold standard over a long period.

The compromise is expected to be voted unanimously-Reuter.

CHINA FINANCE

CURRENCY CONTROL MAY BE GOAL

BRITAIN AND AMERICA TO CO-OPERATE

Washington, June 28. Because it is feared that Japan may be seeking to control China's currency, it is believed that Great Britain and the United States may take some action to prevent it. America is making an unofficial study of the effect of her silver policy upon China and the Silver Bloc in the Senate is campaigning for more activity on the part of the Treasury in following out the purchase programme in respect of the white metal. These are the latest developments in the silver tangle.

Well-informed official sources disclosed to-day that Mr. James Moffett of the Federal Housing Corporation is making a study for President Roosevelt of the effect of the American silver policy upon China.

The White House denied that Mr. Moffett had been delegated officially to make a formal study. It is explained that Mr. Moffett went to President Roose- velt with plans for a vacation cruise to China and the President suggested that while in China he might observe conditions and report to him after his vacation.

POLICE KEEP WATCH

(Special to "Telegraph")

The whole affair is described as purely informal.

However, one Senator who has been following the silver situa tion closely, said the effect of the American policy upon China has been bad, but that the situation was getting better.

Elsewhere it was anid that the British Government was making. à close study of the silver situation' with a view, it was believed, to

One private source said that the British Government felt that Japan was endeavouring to gain control of China's currency and that unless joint action were taken by the United States and Great Britain this was quite likely to come to pass.

PRESSURE BROUGHT

Meanwhile,

thirty-four Sen- ators have signed a petition to President Roosevelt asking that the American silver policy, as laid down by the Adminstration, be carried out fully.
