Sees a Kind of Irony in
Mr.. Glass Suggestion

PARIS, Saturday. February I'm an
editorial dealing with the exchange
situation Andre Liesse. member of the
institute and editor of the weekly
financial journal Economiste. points
out that. in spite of all the recon-
mendations not to increase imports.
1t is impossible to renounce the OBJ
tanning of raw materials lndispensa-

The writer admits that there has
been a lack of coherent policy. but
declares individual initiative has pro-
duced results. proving 1t has been
able to act. With regard to interna-
tional conferences to remedy ex-
change NJ Liesse does not seem nope
full He says:
"Opinions may differ as regards the

take positive resolutions, owing to the
private interests involved. 1t is to be
hoped they would not involve too many

groups they represent"
Frances Gold Reserve.
In the suggestion Of Carter Glass.
Secretary of the United States Trasury,
that European countries permit the ex-
port of gold, NJ. Liesse sees "a kind of
irony" He points out that the $780,
000, 900 francs of Frances gold reserve
would not weigh much in compa arison
with the 10000. 100000 franc deficit be-
tween her imports and exports last
year. England is not in a much bet
ter position, he says.
NJ. Liesse declares he thinks it possi-
Bile that loans could be raised from
American banks to finance exclusively
the purchase of raw materials and in
dispensable foodstuffs He concludes:
Americas lett motif is balance your
receipts and expenses A good COM
mencement will be to reimburse the

coming lean which will certainl be an
element of confidence in the ewes of

No Permanent Remedy by Conference.
Leading brokers here appear to
agree that an international finance
conference cannot apply any perma-
nent remedy to the situation. but be-
lieve that some arrangement may be
made for credits that will greatly I'M

of the German exporters as showing
the necessity of action to control in
ternational payments. All offers or
goods made from Germany to French
buyers Stipulate that payment snail

things: THE quotations of an in
