With the British pound rising to $4.85, within one cent of its dollar ) value when both units were on the | gold basis, some economists believe the attainment of the old parity will be a logical point for decision on whether to seek approximate stabilization or a further dollar depreciation Although the Administration has emphasized it has no desire for a depreciation race some officials con- cede such competitive depreciation is still a possibility. There is no clearcut statement| from France or England to indi- cate their acquiescence in the Ad- ministration’s stated belief that buying of foreign gold could be accomplished without detriment to them.
