DEP ARTMENT| MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT Action Taken to Mean an Expression of Confidence in Monetary Outlook WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. — The Treasury Department has announc- ed the dropping of restrictions ‘on the purchase of foreign exchange. The action is interpreted as anj expression of confidence in the monetary outlook. Some observers believe it means the Government feels more certain of the position of the dollar or more sure of the public's confidence that the dollar is strong enough to make any heavy buying of foreign securities unlikely. Some circles felt that virtual de- facto stabilization of the dollar in relation to the British pound might be strengthened by abandonment of restrictions. It is' explained by Under Secre- tary Coolidge, of the Treasury De- partment, that the restrictions have not been in effect for some time. Americans, under the an- nounced public ruling, are free to exchange their dollars for foreign securities, currencies or goods with- out getting the Treasury's per- mission.
