WORLD F||vANC|ERs
MAY MEET To FIX
FOREIGN EXCHANGE
Rate Fluctuation Declared to
Be Drawback to Revival
of Nations Commerce.

Washington. Aug. 14.-Assembly of
an international congress of financiers
at Washington-possibly coincident
with the disarmament conference In
November-to discuss stabilization of
foreign exchange, is under considcra-
ton at the treasury. officials said
Sunday night. No definite plans have
yet been drawn, officials declared, but
the idea behind the proposed confer
ence is to bring together the leading
bankers and financiers of the world in
hopes of evolving a program which. by
removing the uncertainties now result
ing from exchange fluctuations. would
pave the way for a revival of com
merce between the nations.
Funds Needed.
An appropriation by congress would
be necessary to permit the holding of
such meeting, officials asserted, but
they added the expense would not
be great, especially if the financiers
were to meet at the time of the dis
armament conference when many of
the worlds financial experts are ex-
pected to be here.
Sterilization of exchange rates has
been the subject of careful considera-
ton by various government agencies
recently in view of the i'll effect of
rates upon the ountry's for
eign trade. According to Secretary
Hoover, the uncertainties attending
shifting exchange levels is one of the
major difficulties facing the recovery
of the country's commerce.
Comptroller Has Plan.
Establishment of an international
clearing house for foreign trade trans
actions which would issue a fictive
unit for the purpose of the
worlds commerce, is advocated by
Comptroller Of the Currency Crissin-
ger. Such a plan, according to Mr..
Crissinger, would insure the perman-
ance of some ratio of exchange which
IS more important than particular
ratio of exchange

In reciting the factors that entered
