DOLLAR SIGN AS STANDARD
WOULD SAVE u. S. MONEY

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-How a
great deal of money viii be saved the
American manufacturer is victory
crowns the newly begun battle of
American bankers to make the Ameri-
can dollar instead of the English
pound sterling, the financial stand
ard of the world trade, was explain
ed to the United Press today by
Max May. foreign exchange expert
and vice president of the Guaranty
Trust company.
Since time out Of mind the pound
sterling has been the worlds exchange
market standard. This was because
Great Britain was considered finan-
cial Gibralter. Britain's varying war
fortunes have unsettled the pound
sterling, however, and it has been
wobbling up and down in value al
most every day. In other words, a
pounds worth of American goods
today may not be a pounds worth to-
morrow.
IF the exchange market were stab
le," said Mr.. May, "Americalt ex-
porters would be able to protect them
selves by knowing what prices to
quote on their products.
"As it is, if cotton man in the
south sells million dollars worth
of cotton to an English firm, on 80
days credit. he quotes price bas-
ed on the prevailing exchange rate
If the exchange rate has slumped by
the time he ships his goods. the cot
ton man loses money. The seller
takes big gambling chance. The
buyer does not. If payment were
based on American dollars that would
not occur. We are trying to make
all foreign buyers, governments in
cluded, pay in American dollars.
"Plans now being formulated by
American bankers to stabilize foreign
exchange may accomplish this result
The huge volume of exports are work.
ing toward that end also. The scheme
under consideration should make this
q fact.
Naturally foreign buyers are not
anxious to do this. Sterling has been
the financial criterion in world trade
for SO many years it is hard task
to get them to consider it.
Paymen in dollars for exported
goods from this county would stabilize
the exchange market and that, think,
every banker will agree, is the most
important question in international
banking affairs today.
Sterling would be better around
$4.65, or some nominal figure like
that, at all times, than to be con-
stantly fluctuating as it has been do
ing these last few months.
"In brief" concluded the exchange
expert, American exporters want
the foreign buyers to assume the risk
that American exporters now have to
assume"
