World Currency Sterilization
Frances Main Conference Aim
By M. X. WHITELEATHER

(By Associated PressI
PARIS, May 30.Two main
problems will occupy the French
at the world economic conference
which meets in London on June
IL.
They are, in Brief:
rehabilitation of the dol
lar and sterling.
General use of gold
as q monetary standard.
On these two questions the
French delegation is expected to
center its activities. On other
subjects a more passive role APP
pears likely.
Sterilization French Need
France would gain sterilization
and by return of the gold stand
ard, for wide fluctuations affect
the frame when it fights for world
markets in the same ring as the
dollar and the pound.
Heretofore the franc was a
sbantamweight in the commercial
prize ring, while the dollar and
sterling were heavyweights.
But since the dollar, on April
10, followed sterling off gold the
franc spurted to the front as a
world medium of exchange. This
sudden prestige, however, did
not help French business, since
American and British goods were
better able to compete with
French products in and outside
France.
Would Lift Disadvantage
This disadvantage the French
would like to overcome by get
ting England and the United
States back on gold.
On almost all other questions
the French are expected to sit and
listen while delegates from other
countries talk, for official quar-
ters foresee that on most of them
much will be asked of France.
Experts have figured that three
chief concessions will be suggested
to the French:
LA more liberal landing
Of mOns zbsS4as
2--Abolikion Of the quota
system Of regulating imports.
3--Lowerins Of tariff
rates.
Caution will be observed on
these subjects, government quar-
tiers say. The government has
been seeking freer hand in COM
mercial matters so as to have a
stronger negotiating power at
London.
In spite of this official reserve,
a strong body of opinion is de-
handing that the delegation,
headed in the initial stages by Ed
Guard Daladier, premier and later

that income from American
tourists alone fell from $500, 0OO,-

Government Deficit Problem
The public cash box has reflect
ed this slump in business. The
budget deficit of 100000, 600
francs has kept successive cabi-
nets busy since last autumn trying
to make ends meet.
While the conference moves
along the French will be seeking
settlement of the war debts which
they owe to the United States
and to England. The subject
has been omitted from the London
program, but the French say it
must be disposed of before the
conference ends.
