EXPERTS STUDY
FOREIGN FINANCE
Change in U. S. Policy May
Grow Out of Weak
Situation.
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated PreSS.
A conference of Treasury monetary
advisers stirred speculation today on
whether any change in this Govern
ments international financial policy
was contemplated.
The only official word regarding the
meeting was an announcement by
spokesman for Secretary Morgenthau
that the continued weakness of the
British pound and the French franc
were among the matters discussed. He
declined to disclose what, If any, con-
clusions were reached.
Among those who attended the meet
ing yesterday were E. A. Goldenweiser,
senior economist of the Federal Re-
serve Board; w. R. Burgess, New York
banker; DR.. Herbert Feis, economic
adviser of the State Department.;
Wayne c. Taylor, fiscal assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury; DR.. Jacob
Viner of the University of Chicago,
special monetary adviser to the Treas
ury; Archie Lochhead. manager of the
monetary stabilization fund, and DR..
Harry D. White. director of the Treas
ury's monetary research division.
The council of the International
Chamber of Commerce in a meeting
at Paris approved a resolution advo-
eating Strengthening of the tri-partite
monetary agreement among Britain.
France and the United States, and
declared artificially cheap money was
not necessary for business activity.
The council suggested that the
United States, Great Britain and
France seek means for determining
the proper relative values" of the
dollar, the pound and the franc, with
a view to maintaining stable relations
between them and ultimately restoring
the gold PARTIES"
In the last nine months the pounds
value in terms Of dollars has fiuctu-
ated between $5.05 and $4e1, COM
pared with an historical parity of
S4.86 to the pound. Since the low
point, reached in the recent war crisis,
the pound has rallied to about $4.76.

Horse Show
{ Continued From First Page)

said the Chilean leader was one Of
the most capable and daring riders
ever seen in this area.
This afternoons riding in the inter-
national class will be over the III"
course, with IA tough jumps. 1t will
be preceded by resumption of the
Governors Cup competition, which is
slated for 2:20 pm. This class also
will not be decided definitely until
tomorrow, the closing day Of the
show.
Long before the two headline events
get under way there was plenty Of
action in the Meadowbrook ring.
The first blue ribbon awarded this
morning went to Mrs. George Green
halgh's huge Merry Prince, winner
Thursday. Merry Prince captured the
open working hunters class, first event
of the Maryland day program. He
was ridden by Blakely Lodge and went
around the course without touch.
Billy Do, owned and ridden by Capt.
Henri Luebberman of Fort Myer, took
the red ribbon, while Jinwich, ridden
by Miss Jane KRONER Of Washington,
got third honors.
The class was one Of two left over
from yesterday.
New York entries, heretofore con-
spicuous by their failures, finally
crashed through to take top honors in
the Course e" jumping class this
morning.
The event, which started late yes
terday, found six horses jumping off
for the ribbons, and after clean
performance In the excellent time of
q seconds, Hacket, owned and ridden
by Donald Sutherland, Sd, Brooklyn,
N. Y, was given the blue.
Hunger Marcher, owned and ridden
oy Charles Carrico, Bradley Hills, Md,
and well known to local horse show
fans, took second. Gay Cockade and
Randle's Way were third and fourth,
respectively.
This is Maryland Day, but the Old
Line State representatives will have to
increase their tempo to live up to the
billing the way the Virginians did yes
terday on Virginia Day. Entries from
the Old Dominion are way out in front
as far as the distribution Of ribbons Is
concerned.
If Maj. Yanez can be said to have
a close rival for the favor of the gal
leries, it you'd be the little chestnut
horse Sandy, the veteran jumper OF
the Fort Myer Horse Show team,
whose rider is Capt. Luebberman.
Sandy, one Of the heroes of the first
days competition, came right back
yesterday to win the fault-and- -out
class from field of 40 horses, in
cluding many Of the best OF the Chill
can and Mexican visitors. American
military and civilian owned horses also
were present in this event.
Sandy needed jump-of to score
his victory, but he came through in
valiant fashion over the II other
horses surviving the elimination test.
