LONDON, June 26.—The prob- lems raised by what the Europeans call the American monetary man- euvers, to increase commodity prices, has been trust back on the World Economic Conference as the parley entered the third week.

The fear is that if the United States dollar loses much more value in the world markets, some or all of these gold hloc nations will be forced to abandon the gold standard. It is believed in “some quarters there is a determination to block all American moves to induce the conference to embark on artificial , means of raising prices.
