CHAMBERLAIN POLICY
SEEN INTERNAL AID
Increase in Exchange Equalization
Fund Regarded as Help for
British Industry.
BY the Associated Press.

by INC hSSoClateo FIcSS.
LONDON, April 26.-Chancellor of
the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain's
proposal to increase the exchange equal
ization fund was believed in financial
circles today to have no relation to the
date when Great Britain will stabilize
the pound.
Since Great Britain went of the gold
standard, the fund has been used to buy
and sell dollars and francs In order to
protect the pound.
Financial leaders consider the Wash
ington conversations between President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister MacDon-
aid are likely to have more bearing on
the whole question of stabilization.
The chancellor's announcement IN his
budget speech yesterday was considered
a precautionary step, but it commits the
government to no set policy and can be
adjusted on the shortest notice to meet
the world monetary situation.
Financial circles regard Chamber
lain's exchange policy 1avorably as evil
dence that until there is general world
rehabilitation, Great Britain is deter
mined to maintain the pound sterling at
a level which will enable British indus
tries to compete on an equitable basis
with those of other countries.
The uncertain trend Of foreign cur
rencies, such as was recently experienced
in the market, was expected to be better
avoided when increased funds, through
the exchange stabilization operations.

TALKS HERE ECHO
|. At GENEVA PARLEY
Davis Enunciates Roosevelt
Policy Indicating Consult
ative Pact Leaning.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. switzerland, April 26.-The
first official echo of the Washington
conversations was heard in Europe to-
day, when Norman H. Davis enunciated
before the Disarmament Conference the
Roosevelt policy that the United States
is ready to do big things to maintain
peace once Europe shows she really
wants to reduce arms.
This first exposition Of the Roosevelt
policy before the conference was pre-
sented in q speech made on instructions
from the President.
Delegates to the conference were
electrifled by the address Of the Ameri-
can Ambassador at large.
They interpreted his remarks as
meaning that America was disposed to
strengthen the Briand-Kellogg Pact by
an agreement to participate in con-
sultation pact Of the powers.
Mr.. Davis hearers also understood
from what he said that the United
States might agree at least to refrain
from extending any commercial or
financial help to an aggressor state
once an aggressor nation had been de-
termined.
The American Ambassador at large
with his discussion of the disarmament
plan submitted some time ago by Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald Of Great
Britain.
part one Of the British plan" Mr.
Davis said. "is designed to coordinate
the efforts Of members and non
members of the League Of Nations to
promote an established peace through
consultation and methodical co-opera-
ton when peace may be threatened OF
broken.
However, 1t introduces new element
for us in the codification Of the prin-
ciple of consultation, and in its in
corporation in a disarmament treaty.
My Government has this whole question
under careful advisement."
Mr.. Davis said he anticipated taking
an occasion at q later stage to indicate
how the United States considers that
its peace efforts can be most edec-
lively exerted consistently with estab-
lished American policy.

disarmament which We may be able
now to achieve.
1T must be definite, it must be SUBJ
stantial. We are prepared to make
very great efforts to assist in the
maintenance Of peace when determi-
nation to preserve peace Is evidenced by
the achievement of real measures for
mutual and progressive disarmament
The American delegate expressed the
belief that for the first time the ma
tions Of the INDEPENDENTLY the ma
tions Of Europe, where the problems OF
disarmament are most acute-are seri-
ously desirous of taking effective steps
to lower the level of ornaments.
He reached this conclusion because OF
the growing conviction that armaments

penditure. The ultimate re-establish-
ment of equilibrium in the interna-
tional exchanges should also be con-
templated.
We must. when circumstances per-
nit, re-establish an international
monetary standard which will oper-
ate successfully without depressing
prices and avoid the repetition Of
the mistakes which have produced
such disastrous results in the past.
In this connection the question Of
silver, which is of such importance in
trade with the Orient, was discussed
and proposals were tentatively sug-
gested for the improvement Of its
status.
These questions are all inter-re-
lated and cannot be settled by an in
dividual country acting by itself.
The achievement of sound and last
ing world recovery depends on CO.
ordinating domestic remedies and
supplementing by concurrent and
simultaneous action in the interna-
tional field.
The proposals examined will be
discussed with the representatives Of
the other nations who have been in
vited to Washington with a view to
securing the fullest possible measure
Of common understanding before the
conference meets. 1t is the hope Of
both governments that 1t may be
possible to convene the conference
for June.
We have In these talks found
reinsurance of unity Of purpose and
method. They have given a fresh
impetus to the solution Of the prob
lens that weigh so heavily upon the
most stable, industrious, and deserv-
ing men and women Of the world

zation, whose hard luck it Is our

NEW YORK. April 26.-Great Brit
ain yesterday began to repatriate the
$3.50, 100000 or more Of earmarked gold
acquired here largely through the oper-
alton of the exchange equalization fund.
The New York Federal Reserve Bank
reported the release of $2,19s. 500 in gold
from foreign earmark and the exporta-
ton of that amount to England. Ear
marked gold is exempted from the en-
barge declared by President Roosevelt
last week.
England acquired huge store of gold
here during the first three months OF
this year through the equalization fund.
In holding the pound sterling down the
British Exchange control purchased
large amounts Of dollars from persons
seeking a refuge for their capital in
sterling It then converted these dol
lars into gold and earmarked it for the
Bank of England, the latter paying the
excange found in sterling, which the
fund.- in turn, sold for more dollars.
Largely as result of this process,
earmarked gold at the Federal Reserve
Bank here rose about 5000, 100000 in
the first two months of this year, near
ly all being for British account. In ad-
dition, Great Britain was able to buy

As stated yesterday, our discus
sions on the questions facing the
World Conference were not designed
to result in definitive agreements,
which must be left to the confer
ence itself.
But they showed that our two
governments were looking with a
like purpose and a close similarity
of methods at the main objectives
of the conference, and were I'M
pressed by the vital necessity OF
assuring international agreements
for their realization IN the interests
of the people of all countries. The
practical methods which are re-
quired for their realization were
analyzed and explored.
The necessity for an increase In
the general level Of commodity
prices was recognized as primary
and fundamental. To this end.
simultaneous action needs to be
taken both in the economic and IN
the monetary field.
Commercial policies have to be set
to a new orientation. There should
be a constructive effort to moderate
the network of restrictions OF all
sorts by which commerce is at pres
ent hampered, such as excessive tar
ifs, quotas, exchange restrictions.
etc. Central banks should by con-
certed action provide an adequate
expansion of credit and every means
should be used to get the credit thus
created into circulation.
Enterprise must be stimulated by
creating conditions favorable to busi-
ness recovery, and governments can
contribute by the development OF

armed force of Germany, reduces those
of France and her allies and gives no
positive guarantees whatsoever that
France and her allies would be protected
in case of a new aggression.
President Roosevelt, on the other
hand, explained to the French delegate
Americas difficulties in entering into
any positive pact of security and this
was rendered still more difficult by the
fact the French did not think the Ver-
sailles treaty could be modified at pres
sent. The French point Of view was
admitted to be correct by both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Macdonald, who
both agreed that the French were right
in saying that an attempt to revise that
treaty under the present strained con-
6itions in Europe would mean precipi-
tating instead Of avoiding new war.
President Roosevelt. who was anxious
to have the disarmament conference out
of the way, made the two proposals
which were found most acceptable by
NJ Herriot.
The British plan did contain clause
about control Of ornaments. but 1t did
not provide the setting up OF machinery
which should sit in permanence, exer-
actual reduction of arms and armies by
the signatory nations Of the disarma-
ment agreement. The Presidents sug-
gestion is taking care satisfactorily OF
this point
Controversy Avoided.
The abolition of the notions" of
neutrality is an entirely new thing and
tends to do away completely with the
highly controversial question Of the
freedom of the seas.
The intention Of the President is not
to send American troops abroad when
ever two or more nations might start
fighting again, but 1t means merely that
those American nationals who would
desire to trade with the nation which
has been found to be an aggressor
would no longer enjoy the protection
of the American flag. Their shipments
would be subject to search and conf1s-
cation by the organized authorities OF
the other nations.
The question of war debts will not
be taken up in Washington. It be-
longs in the general set-up Of the eco
nomic conference and will have to be
settled there.
Early Settlement Seen.
But the question of the June Is pay
ments, which must be made three days
after the economic conference starts
its sessions, will have to be settled soon.
It was said last night authoritativeiy
that nobody wants to prejudice the
chances of success Of the international
arnnllnt
these payments, and it is henceforth
clear that there is not the slightest
possibility of a deadlock on account OF
that problem
This authoritative statement is inter-
preted IN responsible quarters to mean
the President will endeavor to obtain
from the Congress the necessary au-
thority to postpone the June payments
for an indefinite time-at least until
the economic conference has finished
