BLUM'S STATEMENT PARIS, Sept. 26.—(Copyright 1936 by Associated Press)—French Pre- mier Leon Blum, speaking as his government busied itself with a maze of preparation for the deval- uation of the franc under the aegis of a tripartite “equilibrium,” said the agreement declared for a mone- tary allotment which will strike to- ward world peace. Big Three Agree The Premier told the Associated Press representative what Ameri- can Secretary of Treasufy Morgen- thau, British Chancellor of Exche- quer Neville Chamberlin and French Minister of Finance Vincent Auriol, considered it a fact that such an alignment would mean world peace. The Premier said he saw no rea- son why higher prices should flood in on the heels of the accord. Swiss Parliament Following France's dramatic de- cision, Switzerland summoned her Parliament to meet Monday to dis- cuss alignment of “currency.” while friendly Belgium joined wholeheart- edly in the Anglo-American-French equiblirium agreement. Communists Agree ‘The French Chamber of Depu- ties, especially the Communists, are reported ready to support the Gov- ernment’s move when Parliament meets in extraordinary session on Monday although that group has always been outspoken against de-. valuation.
