dollar, the pound and the franc and their relative values toward each other. Business men in Eu- rope dealing with those in Amer lea need fixed units of currency with which to measure their tram sections.
 American abandopment of the gold standard, and Imminent con- gressional authorization of further imitation measures, gives President Roosevelt Q powerful weapon to induce Britain to enter a stabiliza- ton agreement.
 Prime minister Macdonald is due to land in New York to-mor- row and will be here in time for a formal dinner at the White House. Afterward the tall, spare .spokes- man of Great Britain, with his rich Scotch burr, will pull up his chair beside the equally friendly and in- formal American president to dis cuss how the two great commercial nations of the. world may get the dollar and the pound sterling on an equal footing, how they may CO., operate to revive trade and put their idle millions to work.
 Former Premier Hefriot of France. short and chunky. with a dark stubby pompadour, speaking only French, a man defeated last December pleading in vain that France meet her semi-annual war debt payment, will arrive Sunday. Representing the only major world power now on the gold standard, his presence becomes more signi- ficant than ever.
 President Roosevelt has arrang- ed for MT Macdonald and M. Her riot to meet with him in three- cornered talk over White House cigars and coffee. Tuesday night. After dinner the house and senate the circle about the fire.
 Prime Minister Bennett of Cam ada, comes Monday to spend al- most week, but 1t is not contem- plated that he will join in the ma- jor discussions of the big three.
 These foreign spokesmen will ar- rive to find an administration which has scrapped traditional iso- lationist policies and is pledged to revive twotday international trade.
 This Is one of the most sifinif- cant facts surrounding the meet ings, for 1t opens the way to dis cussions which would otherwise be futile with his characteristic disre- gard for precedent, President Roosevelt has scrapped two of the most scared policies of postwar America:
 1. He has taken the United States off the gold standard so that the American dollar may adjust it. self to foreign currencies and un- dergo revaluation which will per- init it to join the international family of trading mediums on an equal footing.
 2. He has, through Secretary of State Hull, announced his readiness to break down the protective tariff will in the belief that if the United States Is to sell abroad it must also buy.

 The fast-moving drama of gold, with its worldwide effects, now becomes the most acute subject of discussion with Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald whose nation has shaken the pound down to a lower level, and with former Pre- mier Edouard Herriot of France, whose nation remains the one great power still hitched to the gold standard.
