May Withdraw Support

Government fiscal circles indicated the United States may withdraw the financial support they have been giving intermittently to the French frane through the Stabilisation Fund and let the trane find Its own level. It is said that such action would exert an Immediate influence towards compelling Paris either to devalue or abandon the gold standard, either completely, like England, by placing an embargo on gold exports and establishing a managed currency, or partially, like Belgium.

Experts are most interested in London reports, due to the fact that one of the influences hitherto hinder ing it readjustment of the French currency has been Britain's inais- "of maintaining Uberly of action" to protect her foreign trade and other economic interests by lowering the value of the pound, when necessary,
