WHITELEATHER PARIS, June 6.—Tw5 main prob- lems will occupy the French at the world economic conference which weets in London on June 12. They are, in brief: 1.—Stabiligaticn of the del- lar and sterling. 2.—~General use of gold as a monetary standard. On these two questions the French delégation is expected to enter its activities. On other sub- jects a more passive role appears likely. Stabilization France would French Need gain by stabiliza- tion and by return of the gold standard, for wide fluctuations af- fect the franc when it fights for world markets in the same ring as the dollar and the pound. Heretofore the franc was a han- tamweight in the commercial prize ring, while the dollar and sterling were heavyweights. But since the dollar, on April 19, followed sterling off gold the franc sp\nflled to the fron world me- ditm of exchange. This sudden prestige, however, did not help ¥French business, since American and British goods were better able to compete with French products in and outside France. Would Lift Disadvantage This disadvantage the French would like to overcome by getting England and the United States back on gold. On almost all other guestions the French are expected to sit and listen while delegates from other countries talk, for official quarters forsee that on most of them much will be asked of France. Experts have figures that three chief concessions will be suggested to the French: 1—A more liberal lending of money abroad. 2.—Abolition of the quota system of regulating jmports. . 3—Lowering of tariff rates. Caution will be observed on the: government quarters say. The government has been ‘seeking a freer hand in commercial mat- ers so as to have stronger nego- tiating powers at London. }P spite of this official reserve a b ‘body of ‘opinion is demand- i t the delegation, headed in B E | the mltlal stages by Edouard Dala- &ier..premier and later by Georges Bonnet, finance minister, join the representatives of other countries &|in an active attempt to pull down barriers to commerce.
