Retirement ANNUITY
PLAN Is ADVOCATED
Chamber Of Commerce Recon-
mends Adoption Of Policy by
Every Large Enterprise.
BY CHAS. r. sHAEFFER,


The Chamber Of Commerce of the
United States recommends adoption of
a definite retirement annuity plan by
every enterprise with employees of long
service.
Such. q step was held conducive for
efhcient administration Of enterprises,
for the personal interests Of their en-
ployes and for the welfare Of society In
general.
In making It's, recommendations, the
chamber said careful consideration
should be given to the question of
whether the entire expense of the re-
tirement annuity plan should be borne
by the employer or whether the plan
should contain provision for participa-
ton by the employees in its cost.
The adoption Of public old age pen
sion or relief acts should not deter
employers from making provision for
their own retired employees, the cham
Der said, since the trend of such legis-
lation In this country is in the direc-
ton Of making provision solely for the
care OF aged and impoverished citizens
ployes on the pay rolls Of private con-
Germs.
In view, however, of the trend
throughout the world in pension legis-
lation, the chamber said every COM
pany annuity plan might well contain
q provision that would enable employ
ers to deduct from the annuities pay
able to their employees any sums pay
able to these employees under public
pension acts, except those arising out
OF employees own contributions.

DECLINE IN POUND
STERLING RESUMED
Quotation Of $3.50 Recorded Today
Is Lowest Within Ten Years.
Selling Sharp.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 1.-The
pound sterling today continued its
abrupt decline of yesterday, breaking
slightly more than cents to $3.50,
the lowest In 10 years and only IL
cents above the record low quotation
Of $3.18. reached prior to its return
after the war to the gold basis.
Selling continued to appear from all
sides, coming from England, France.
Holland and other principal financial
countries.
According to Wall Street advices, no
efforts have yet been made on the part
of the British government to stabilize
the pound, the present intent apparent
ly being to let 1t seek its natural level.
Although French bankers and the
French government are said to favor
stabiliZation and are reported from
Paris to be willing to advance q credit
for that purpose, Wall Street bankers
doubt that such q move viii be at
tempted at an early date. Britain's
foreign trade, according to recent re-
ports, has been stimulated as q result
OF the lower price for sterling.
Last week the pound reacted from
$3.721z to $3.52h, of 20 cents. The
break gained momentum this week, the
quotation breaking to $3.50 yesterday
and today's early trading sweeping 1t
down to $3.50.
