BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 20.-Puzzlement,
coupled with extreme anxiety, was
the British reaction today to the
American imposition of the gold
embargo and the statements from
Washington that the United
States was off the gold standard.
The immediate concrete result
was a heavy fall in the value of
the dollar as compared with the
pound, coupled with violent
fluctuations which within the first
hour of trading on the exchange
took the dollar down to where
it was at one time, $3.50 to the
pound.
Government quarters were beset with
uncertainty as to Just what President
Roosevelt's move meant and economists
were equally bewildered.
Follow Roosevelt Example.
Two things did emerge clearly from
Downing street: The present official
position is that Mr.. Roosevelt's action
was not, as some suggest, for the pur-
pose Of bludgeoning Prime Minister Mac
Donald on the eve of the White House
conversations and secondly, there is no
disposition on the part of England to
try to debase the value Of the pound in
order to maintain the recent ratio IN
value of the two currencies.
British officialdom has taken . page
from Mr.. Roosevelt's book and at this
juncture proposes Ito let the pound
take care of itself"
England's main concern is that trade
advantages which she enjoyed because
of her debased currency after her de-
parture from the gold standard might
no longer exist.
A considerable section of the press
Immediately concluded Mr. Roosevelt's
move was made for the purpose Of
forcing Mr.. MacDonald's hand in the
coming conversations and compelling
Great Britain to return to the gold
standard.
Economic experts, however. are sitting
tight until they discover exactly what
has happened.
Import Not Determined.
Sir Josiah Stamp, the famous econo-
mist, for example, in declining to ex-
press an opinion, said in explanation:
TT all depends upon what America is
trying to do, her intention being I'M
clear here for the present. The term
going off the gold standard is a mat
ter for definition. It means one thing
to one person and something different
to another. Until it is known what is
behind the American step we cannot
weigh its import"
Downing Street was emphatic in ex-
pressing the view that Mr.. Roosevelt
did not take action with the idea OF
forcing Mr.. MacDonald's hand. 1t is
