1 STERLING MAY GET U. 5. GOLD BACKING Finarciers So Interpret Re- serve Bank Agreement to Take Pound Bills. The New York Federal Reserve Bank reported agreement with the Bank of England to take pound ster- ling bills in the open market as an ex. nge stabilizer was regarded among officials here as tantamount to ring the New York bank's gold re. serve behind the British pound. It was agreed that the New York bank would be of incaleulable aid to the British by open market operations in aiding the B sh efforts to maintain * gold basis, an effort deemed soon to be crowned with success, While Gov. Crissinger of the Fed eral Reserve Board said the board had not been advised of the re. ported reement between the two great al institutions, it was ex- lain at such an agreement could ted by the bank itself with- ence to Washington since it an operating question. fin TImpressed With Progress. Officials who have given study to the recent rapid appreciation of the pound sterling exchange have been impress. ed with the steady progress of the effort, and it was asserted ere w no reason why the York bank should not help out he movement. It was believed, of se, that London later, when con ditions make such action propitious, would counter the bills taken by the New York bank with a credit estab hed through a loan here. The amount of this loan has been estl mated variously from a half to three- quarters of a billion dollars. If the New York bank takes ster- ling bills whenever exchange runs sgainst London, after the British gold embargo is lifted, it will profit through its discount business. The Bank of England would be benefited through being able to hold its gold stock, it was said. K.
