PRESIDENT TO SEE
norman THIS WEEK
Bank of England Head to
Call, but Reason and Date
Are Not Known.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, August 90
President Roosevelt arranged today for
a visit here next week by Sir Montagu
Norman, governor Of the bank Of Eng
land, upon the request of George Har-
rison, governor Of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York.
Sir Montagu has been on a mystery
visit in this country for more than
two weeks.
While naturally there is significance
attached to his call here, the views Of
President Roosevelt against immediate
stabilization Of the currency in foreign
exchanges are we'll known.
Attitude Unchanged.
Stephen T. Early, a secretary to the
President, announced tonight that
Norman was coming here. A definite
date for the call has not been fixed.
It was made quite plain the visit Of
the British bank head was at the re-
quest of Mr.. Harrison. 1t was made
known also that there has been no
change in the attitude Of the President
until he is convinced that the dollar
has found its level with other cur
rencies and that the money Of the
other nations has found real basis.
There has been considerable specu-
lation since the arrival in this country
of Sir Monagu about the establishment
of fund by the United States to make
possible a stabilization of the dollar
and to prevent violent fluctuations in
the foreign exchange.
Scouts Price Effect.
But, Mr.. Roosevelt has not been
particularly concerned about Stablll-
zation in the foreign exchanges until
he thinks the time Is ripe to bring
about a real adjustment.
He Is convinced that the foreign ex-
change has little effect upon domestic
prices and most certainly does not re-
gard it as a criterion Of price TRENDS
in this country.
Maybe Sir Montagu is going to talk
business-prcbably so-but the views
of Mr.. Roosevelt are well known. II
there is anything in the way OF new
action by him on stabilization 1t Is
not known.
Mr.. Early gave the following an
nouncement about the visit:
"At the suggestion Of Gov. Har-
rison of the Federal Reserve Bank In
New York, the President today agreed
to receive the governor and Montagu
Norman.
"Mr. Norman is in the United States
and will sail soon for England. The
President will receive MeSsrs. Har-
rison and Norman at tea at his Hyde
Park home early next week, making
the engagement in order to accommo-
date Mr.. Norman's sailing plans"
