Morgenthau Hopes
For Establishment
OF World Dollar
Secretary Fovors Idea
To Promote Truce
When War Is Over

Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau said today that he hoped
some kind Of world trade dollar"
could be established as an interna-
tional standard of money values.
The Secretary expressed this hope
at a press conference when asked
about a United States proposal at
the Rio de Janeiro Conference Of
American republics looking toward
a means Of achieving monetary
stabilization among anti-Axis ma
tions.
Secretary Morgenthau explained
that the method of stabilization had
not been worked out and would be
very difficult, but worth trying"
It might be accomplished, he said,
"by creation Of new international
currency-something like a trade
dollar to be used only in interna-
tional trade-or 1t might be an
existing currency, our own dollar"
Asked whether it might not be
simpler to peg Latin currencies to
the United States dollar rather than
to create new currency, Secretary
Morgenthau said 1T would be
simpler but it might not be ac-
ceptahle.'
The Secretary went on to say that
the object of the stabilization plan
was more for the promotion of trade
after the war than during the con-
flict. He hoped that the plan could
be initiated by the American re-
publics and extended Ito the rest
Of the world"
Meanwhile. Secretary Of State
Hull expressed satisfaction with the
accomplishments of the Rio con-
ference and indicated that the
American republics will work for an
agreement to abolish tariff barriers
on materials.
The Secretary said there could not
be better illustration of solidarity
and the spirit Of cooperation when
faced from common danger from
without, than the action taken al
Rio.
The reports from Rio. Mr.. Hull
said, are most gratifying although
not surprising. He said the decision
to break off relations between the
Axis and all the American States is
Of the greatest significance.
He said he knew that each of the
republics will continue to 60 forward
in the most desirable way in carry
ing out the spirit Of solidarity and
cooperation.

A Sunday evening series presented
by the Dance Playhouse Of Evelyn
Davis was launched in the Play
house last night with q program Of
original dance dramas designed ex-
clusively by Miss Davis and executed
by the same party with the assist
ance of her young troupe.
It was q varied fare, embracing
motifs sacred, profane and patriotic,
each serving Miss Davis purposes
equally well. Rigid bodies and taut,
deliberate motions, Of course, DOM
mated the solemn interludes, while
at the opposite pole the eminent
tricks Of downright buffoonery-in-
cluding leap-frog-found outlet. And
whatever the demands Of the cho-
regraphy the performers responded
eagerly.
Tour de force of the program was
q "Trilogy" depicting the major fac
tors in the American ideal; spiritual,
national and popular realization.
Accompaniment to this number was
narration as well as piano, and 1t
had its effective moments. Among
other offerings were Marching to
Glory" an arm-waving sequence
portraying . Southern revival meet
ing; q humorous episode In which
Miss Davis becomes an earnest

learn the intricacies Of artificial
respiration for defense, and a dig
