Henri Cernuschi has written a letter to the
London Times recommending that the COM
ing International Monetary Conference be
seized as an opportunity for the adoption of
an international money for France the United
States and Great Britain The Times, while
pronouncing Cernuschi's plan "a currency
scheme" says there is good deal in the SUBJ
ject raised which is worth discussion. Ger
nuschi's plan, which he thinks would solve
the double problem of an agreement as to the
monetary ratio of gold and silver, and of in
ternational money, is stated by him as fol-
lows:
France will replace her 2O-franc gold piece
by a 25-tranc piece, exactly the same as a
pound sterling. The 5,franc silver piece will
be left untouched. England will have a
4-shilling silver piece exactly the same as the
5-franc piece The gold pound sterling will be
left untouched. The United States will re-
place their gold money by a SIS piece exactly
the same as the pound sterling; their silver
dollar will be exactly the same as the 5-franc
piece. In all three countries gold and silver
will be admitted to mintage without restric-
tfon OF quantity and will be legal tender with
out restriction of amount. Thus France and
sterling like England, and England and the
United States would coin 5-franc silver
pieces like France In all three countries
there would be seen in circulation English
pieces American gold and silver pieces, all
equivalent. 1t would be perfect, absolute.
