Of this sum, about $2,000,000,000 will be used as a foreign stabili- zation fund simflar to the Smccessful ‘British -fund, and the remainder wiil swell the general Govern- ment reserves. Until a satisfactory basis can international stabilization, the this huge fund, by dealing in gold and foreign exchanges, proposes to keep the dollar at a world level which will protect our trade and money, pre- ing stabilization at an unfair level when permanent international agreement is reached. As for stabilization at present price levels, it is generally felt these are too artificial to permit anyone to say what a fair and workable dollar level would be. If it were fixed permanently now at 60 cents, it probably would have to be changed within the near future. Actual conditions do not justify any more than an approximate stabilization at the present moment. The President has taken the only available course, it seems, to dispel monetary fears. It should remove be reached for President, through that impediment to the use-of the vast unused | credit resources of the country already available.

' Prosperity became more general: as intercourse between nations increased. Argosies sail- ed the ocean trade lanes. New lands were discov- ered, colonized and settled. Life, once more, was worth living. We want no unreasonable restrictions placed in the way of legitimate trade relations, travel and contacts with other nations. Our people are too intelligent to tolerate such provincialism. They want no return to conditions that made the Dark Ages a blank in the history of mankind.
