Raleigh, Feb 2O-There was no
noticeable slackening in the fast leg
islative pace this week and prospects
of an early end of the session were
seen as improved rather than as
darkened by the weeks accomplish
ments.
For one thing the lawmakers dis
posed of, finally and completely, the
liquor question, an issue which was
expected to consume much more time
than actually proved the case. Dur
ing the week the county option bill
was enacted by the Senate with only
a few amendments, after Statewide
referend had been defeated in tense
session Tuesday. A quick conference
between House and Senate conferees,
a report to both house Friday and
adoption of the report in both wound
up the entire issue.
Soon the State will be dotted with

LONDON, June 25-Sir John ST.
mon, chancellor of the exchequer, to-
day asked the House Of Commons to
increase the exchange equalization
fund by f2o0OO0,o0o. (about sl,ooO,-
Ooo,ooO) to support Britain's monetary
agreement with the United States
and France.
This jump Simon told Commons,
would bring the stabilization fund to
$3.50 ,O00,0 (about s2,750, 0,O00,00O and
was made necessary by the unsettled
international monetary situation.
Sir John said he would explain later
if France. and the United States
planned similar moves.
In addition to the recent release
of boarded gold" he declared, there
has been much financial disturbance
abroad and general tendency for
capital funds to move to London.
Hopes for Change.
While I consider there is no rea-
son why the present unsettled condi-
ton in connection with the interna-
tional movement of capital should be
permanent, the situation compels us
to make further provision as an in
surance against additional move
ments into sterling"
This, the chancellor said, was es-
Sentlal If Britain was to maintain
our general financial policy and
support our undertakings and objec-
tives under the tripartite monetary
agreement which has been so widely
approved"
. Sir John indicated there would be
no change in the general government
policy but made clear additional funds
were necessary for protection of the
pound in relation to the French franc
and the United States dollar.
Debate Set for Monday. ,
Debate on the measure will start
Monday, at which time the chancellor
said he would go into greater detail
on the reasons for asking the funds.
The recent drain Of sterling to
France was considered to be the para
mount reason behind Sir Johns sur
prize move. French interests in the
last few days have been selling francs
and buying sterling because they be-
lieved the franc would again be, de-
valued
The franc. financial quarters said,
at least faced the possibility of de-
probation in terms OF dollars and
pounds, thus making francs or securi-
ties based on francs less valuable in
France.
In order to keep sterling from be-
coming ''overvalued" the exchange
fund sold sterling to maintain the
stability Of the triangular arrange
ment for the franc, dollar, pound.
