BRITISH SEE FRANC
GOING OFF GOLD
Continued Drop of Dollar Ex
peCted to Force Move
in Short Time.
BY NEGLEY FARSON.
BY Radio to The Star.

BY Radio to The Star.
LONDON, England, November 10
With the American dancing dollar
quoted at $5.1634 TO the pound at one
time today. London city's financial ex-
perts admit that nobody knows what
is going to happen now"
The British pound hitherto has been
trying to steer a course along the franc,
gradually coasting of into the open
stormy financial seas. The best expert
prediction is that If the dollar continues
to fall towards what seems to be an in
evitable S6o5 to the pound ratio, that is,
up to the limit Of President Roosevelt's
powers from Congress allowing him to
depreciate the gold content Of the Amer
lean dollar, then France comes off the
gold standard within three months.
The British cannot use their $780,
100000 exchange equalization fund to
buy dollars in order to prevent the
dollars depreciating against the pound,
as they do not dare to buy dropping dol
lars and thereby involve the taxpayers
of Great Britain in a heavy loss.
But the suction of the dropping dol
lar sooner or later will force Great Brit
ain to desert the franc and steer some
way towards the dollar to protect Great
Britatn's vital export trade. Thereupon
the pounds deSertion of the gold bloc
convoy means the end Of the gold bloc.
Emulsion of currencies is then envis-
aged. with ultimate new ~devaluation all
around.
The ratios of these devaluated cur
rencieS TO one another 1t is interesting
to point out, will be based more on
trade realities than on any political in
tergovernmental agreements. Many un-
orthodox financial circles in London
city expect and even hope that this
phase of currency confusion, followed
by an essential readjustment, will soon
come about.
These circles assert that the United
States is now about to enjoy the fruits
of deprecated currency in the same
way they were enjoyed by France and
Great Britain.
When France stabilized the franc at
20 per cent of its par value in 1928, it
Is asserted, it was deliberately under
vauled. Despite the fact that millions
of French as well as foreign investors
were thus virtually ruined by the 80
per cent repudiation of all their franc
holdings, France Immediately became a
f1rst-class power whose financial power
dominted Europe economically and DO
ntically until Great Britain came of
the gold standard in 1881.

HUGE GOLDPROF|T!
Retaliation of Large Hold
ings Would Add $780,
0Q0,000 to Money Total.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November l0.-f Uncll
Sam should revalue all his monetary
gold on the basis of the price being PAID
by the r. r G. for newly-mined meta
1t would dump approximately $780,
100000 into his lap.
The Treasury and the Federal Reserv.
System in reporting their holding Of
gold still are reporting them on thu
basis Of the old gold standard price o.
S20.67 an ounce.
Based on Cheaper Dollar.
On that basis, the monetary gole
stock. as last reported, was approx.
mately $4,323, ,000,0 900. But II it vert
reyalued on the basis of the present
R. F. c. price, or even the indicated
value of the dollar in relation to foreign
gold currencies, the total would ap.
proximste $4,000 100000.
OF course, monetary experts poini
out. Uncle Sam would not have any
more gold, but he would have that many
more dollars. There has been no indi.
cation from administration sources al
to how much the dollar will be devalued
but there is little expectation now thai
1t will be returned to its old gold parity
Even such a staunch defender of the
gold standard as Prof. Edwin Walter
Kemmerer now suggests the dollar bs
revalued at about its present level In
relation to gold.
Next Step Discussed.
If this were done the question arises
what will Uncle Sam do with all theSc
additional gold dollars? Professor KEN.
merer suggests that they be used as tbs
French government used a large addi-
ton to the number of it's gold francs
when it finally stabilized after the war;
France used the franc to pay of il;
Indebtedness at the Bank of France
Since we would gain in dollars about
the amount of the United States Gov,
ernment obligations held by the Federal
Reserve Bank, Prof. Kemmerer sugj
gests that the Treasury could redeem
its bonds and other obligations held bj
the Federal Reserve.
This would place the reserve system
In tremendously strong position. h
would permit the reserve to issue a huv
amount of additional currency, or A
