Why Sterling Has Fallen.

Sir John Simon Explains Latest Position

́ ́ ́LONDON, Apr. 9 (Reuter). Replying to a question about the recent trend in sterling, Sir John Simon in the House of Commons to-day declared that the recent fall in the unofficial rate for sterling on

foreign markets was in no way a sign of British financial weakness Or difficulties.

It was a natural result, he said, of a recent regulation providing that exports of tin, rubber and certain other commoditles must be paid for in foreign currencies or in sterling obtalr.cd f selbred dealers.

The fallar que ation was in- cidentally the result of the tighten- Ing of the exchange control.

Limited Fall

The fall, he said, was limited to a of sterling, very small proportion numely that held by such foreigners as would choose to dispose of it to another foreigner at the rate cur- rent on foreign markets,

Still Good To Hald Dealing with a suggestion that Britain should block sterling assets belonging to foreigners, Sir John said that on a balanced review of all con- siderations involved, we chose not to put an embargo upon foreign money or securities held in Britain exposing ourselves thereby to the risk that some foreign holders would use their freedom to dispose of their sterling assets.

That had not happened to any substantial extent. "Sterling is good to hold," he said, “and I believe this opinion is spreading in neutral countries."
