prohibitions and restrictions:
BY NorWay-To adopt as basis the
Geneva convention Of 1927.
BY Britain-A declaration that all
import prohibitions adopted on the

ment for increasing prices, is confident
Australia. too, will Join.
"All that remains now is the settle
ment of actuarial details the New
Yorker asserted. He said the plan pro-
yided for reduction of acreage and ar
arrangement as to maximum exports.
He hopes also that Danubian countries
will participate.
Maxim Litvinoff. Soviet foreign COM
missar, accepted the agreement on ex-
ports. and Thomas lie Breton, Argen-
tine representative, accepted the entire
proposal yesterday on behalf Of their
governments. Stanley Bruce Of Aus
tralia was in touch with Canb9ra.

One American, sharing his colleagues

Should Bruce hear favorably from
his government. the wheat delegations
were prepared to meet today to draft
the agreement for presentation to the
conference.
Smaller producers then would be

Before the franc can be shaken the
United States and other countries will
find instability Improbable and will re-
turn to gold, in view of the Bank Of
France.
Financial experts who fear that
France may be abliged to leave gold say
that the dollar at II francs or there
