parity basis at $4.S65s today came
as a dramatic climax to years of
erratic lamentations in British cur
rency, which at one time in 1920
drove the rate to an extreme low
price of 1913.
Removal Of the war time peg,
which had held the pound around
$4.76, in March, 1919, signalized the
beginning of period of violent re-
actions and rallies, based on varying
political developments, trade condi-
tiOns, gold movements and orgies OF
speculation in exchange, which hith
erto had been little known.
Great Britain's rapid recovery
from the devastating effects OF the
war was reflected in gradual ap
probation of her exchange, once the
bottom had been reached, with new
high records established in each
successive year. although the rate
ranged an average of so cents be
