MlIXICO CITY. Nov. 2.-(Special to

taken by the an-Americain Postal
union. which is now in congress here
has been the adoption of the American
gold standard for all postal money or

ties in handling international money

4 Under the new system, a money or

would state the amount in dollars caf-
culated at the current rate of exchange
in New York in the Argentine. When
the money order arrived in Mexico it
would be cashed in Mexican currency
at the current rate of exchange here.
The American dollar was selected be-
cause it had the least fluctuation. Sew
eral propositions were brought before
the committee charged with this study.
