GUILDER'S FATE UNCERTAIN

HOLLAND MAY QUIT GOLD STANDARD

COLIJN'S GOVERNMENT -

FACING DEFEAT

The Hague, July 23.

It is generally believed that the devaluation of the guilder is inevitable because the majority of the Second Chamber favours this step.

It is learned in Parliamentary circles that Dr. H. Colijn, the Prime Minister, will advise the Queen to call on the Catholic leader, Dr. Salberse, to form a new Government. But it is expected there will be difficulties in his way as it is unlikely that the powerful Social-Democrats will co-operate with the Catholics.

The public galleries of the Lower Chamber were crowded in expectation of a vote which would be critical for the Government, and possibly for Holland's currency, to-night. At the outset, Dr. Westermari said that if the Government did not devalue its currency it would have to take effective measures to protect it. Severe control of foreign exchanges was essential to parry any new attack on the guilder, he declared. A divergence of views was indicated by subsequent speakers.
