GOLD EMBARGO
CONSIDERED
. + BYFRANCE

PARIS, March 7 GN.SO.-The
possibility Of France clamping an
embrargo on gold-without aban-
doning the gold Standard-to
meet the current European none
tary crisis was discussed seriously
in financial circles today as the
French Cabinet convened to de-
bate the issue.
Measures destined to deal with
the difficulty were examined" at
the cabinet session, explained a
brief communique issued after the
ministers studied a report from
the ministry of finance on the
sudden drop of the pound sterling
in relation to the franc.
While the Cabinet remained
secretive regarding the measures
it might take, well informed
authorities in financial quarters
expressed the belief only three
steps could be taken to alleviate
the situation. These were:
l. An embargo on gold with
France technically remaining on
gold. This would be an emula-
tion of President Roosevelt's &C.
tion in the United States, al
though that country later went
completely off the gold standard.
2. The Government might pre-
vail UPON the Bank of France to
establish a fund to equalize the
franc in relation to both the
pound and the dollar.
3. Supertaxes upon imports,
principally British, might be i'm
posed.
The market was quiet, with
little trading, as financial circles
moved cautiously in the crisis.
zank Rentes and Young Plan
bonds were up.
