MATTER TO BE RAISED

IN WASHINGTON

London, July 28.-The South African Finance Minister, Mr Nicolas Havenga, expressed the view today that the United States' gold policy was harming world trade.

A higher gold price, which America opposes, would ease the world dollar crisis, Mr Havenga said in an interview in London.

South Africa, the world's greatest gold producer, wants a higher price, but the American view is that an increase would in effect mean a devaluation of the dollar.
