By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, December 15.—An unre- mitting drive to get France to join most of the rest of the world in going off the gold standard today found the Flandin government apparently still determined to keep the European gold bloc together. With financial circles predicting dis- ruption sooner or later of the tight little combine of nations still clinging to the yellow metal as their currency basis, sentiment for devaluation ap- parently was growing in Belgium and Holland, two members of the bloc. In France, too, agitation for cheaper money continued with Paul Reynaud, former minister of finance, in the fore- D.

The former minister's attack on the new government’s defense of the franc, delivered in the Chamber of Deputies early this month, served to put the issue squarely up to Premier Plerre- Etienne Flandin. ‘France,” Renaud told the Chamber, “must either deflate prices or -de- value its money,” arguing that “the economic activity of the gold bloc countries is diminishing, although it is increasing elsewhere.” In previous statements Renaud had urged discreed direct negotiations with President Roosevelt looking to stabiliz- ation between the United States dollar and the gold currencies. Once an agreement is effected, Reynaud ‘pre- dicted, England would come into line. Flandin, it is said, is eager for stabilization of all currencies, but takes the position that stabilization is dependent not on France, but on countries off gold. The whole issue is expected to be settled early in 1935. ‘The United States dollar is regarded as a possible solid rallying point for stabilization of all currencies off gold. Keenest fight against the gold stand- ard in any of the gold bloc countries has been that waged during recent months in Belgium.
