Mellon Adds Approval.
The verbal understanding by which
the New York Federal Reserve; Bank
will enter the open market for the
purchase of sterling bills at the re
quest of the Bank of England will be
an important asset TO those charged
with the job of smoothing the eX-
change waters in the first few months,
in the opinion of Secretary Mellon. He
said the agreement was desirable, and
since the British effort to maintain a.
parity on the pound is to begin Of
ticially today, the assistance of the
new world bankers should become i'm
mediately evident.
Some officials expressed the view
that Esnglands trade balances were
actually in a better position than was
shown on the face of statistics Of eX-
ports and imports. If this be true,
the British finaneierS have an easier
job in maintaining a parity of eN-

had chosen the best method of initiat

over to experienced financiers to

"The restoration Of the gold basis in

Greatest Reconstruction Step Since

Announcement that a gold basis
had been restored i'll England was ac-
claimed at the Treasury today as re-
construction step second only to con-
clusion of the Dawes reparation plan.
Prediction was made that other Eu
ropean nations soon would be enabled
TO restore the gold basis officially as
result of the British decision.
Secretary Mellon and Governor Girls
singer and other members of the Fed
eral Reserve Board feel that although
the lifting of the gold embargo is an
accomplished fact. the immediate
psychological effect is more important.
The argument was advanced that
Great Britain now stood on financial
par with the United States and that
these two great financial powers could
and would WELD an incalcuable in
f1uence on world monetary affairs.
