Big Monetary Achievement

ment Of sterling exchange on a gold
basis and its return to virtual parity
for the first time since the war
has been the outstanding monetary
achievement OF a year distinguished
for the progress made In stabilizing
the currencies of the world
The success Of Great Britain In re-
storing and maintaining the gold
standard influenced other European
nations to begin preparations for
similar action. Laboring under less
favorable financial and trade posi-
tions. however, some Of the Cont
mental countries, such as Belgium,
France and Italy, are faced with
the necessity Of devaluing their cur
rencies on a new gold basis.
With the aid of American credits
and loans, Belgium and Italy have
already made substantial progress
in putting their financial houses
in order preliminary to restoring the
gold standard. With their war debts
to the United States satisfactorily
funded and their budgets virtually
balanced. both governments are mere
ly awaiting prepitious time to
devalorize their exchanges on a new
basis.
France, hindered by domestic H.
nancial difficulties and the delay In
settling its American debt, has made
less progress, but bankers believe
that within the next year the cur
rencies of all three countries will be
established on new gold parity be-
