U. S. TO SEND ADVISER
Reserve Board 10 Be Represented at
Exchange Conference

Washington, Dec. l.-lBy \, i. D--
Decision has been reached by the F"d-
oral Reserve Board 10 send m adviser
70 the forthcoming conference Of foreign
bankers called by the Preparations Com
mission to discuss exchange stabiliza
ton, it was said officially today at the
Treasury.
The Conference will Consldrr specific
methods Of preventing sudden "Xchang,
fluctuations resulting from tl" January
payment Of the German indemnity. Th"
date and place of meeting Of III" CNn-
ference have not been Communicated 70
American officials.
One plan under consideration is u
proposal to avoid the payment Of the
indemnity in the money Of any on"
country. Instead Of requiring the rep
arations payment to be made in .Am"ri-
can dollars, rs in til" case of the last
installment, 1t was believed that u
cushion might be provided against II
sudden exchange drop by spreading II
portion of the payment over into Dut.L
or somei other exchange.
1t is considered probable that ROLAND
Il. Boyden, the American observer at
meetings of the Rcpnrnti"ns Commits
sion, may be designated Hs tn" advise
possibly with the assistance Of an agent
Of the reserve board.
