U5, HINTED READY FOR FISGAL PAGTS Morgenthau Reported Open to Negotiations for Series of Bilateral Treaties. By the Assoctated Press. Fiaancial authorities speculated to- day on whether the administration, shying away from general monetary conferences, would negotiate currency agreements with individual nations. Some said the disclosure by Treas- ury officials that Secretary Morgen- thau prefers to deal with nations singly on money matters indicated a series of currency talks may develop looking toward stabilization and the relaxation of exchange controls. Other informed persons, however, expressed the belief Morgenthau's stand merely was & new demonstration of past administration policy. They predicted the Treasury would continue to listen to any currency proposals of other countries, but would not aggres- sively seek such pacts. The question of a general confer- ence and of Secretary Morgenthau's reported attitude was raised at Pres- ident Roosevelt's press conference today. The Chief Executive reserved | direct comment, replying to his ques- | tioner by asking in effect what would | be the use of calling a monetary con- ference unless it was known before- hand the conference would produce good results. Morgenthau held a lyncheon meet- ing yesterday with Cesar Charlone, Uruguyan minister of finance, and J. Richling, Uruguayan envoy to the United States. Pan-American Parley Seen, i ‘There was no word on what they | discussed, but some persons considered the meeting significant because of Uruguay's stand in favor of a pen- American monetary parley during the 1936 peace conference at Buenos Aires. Morgenthau talked last week with Ambassador Oswaldo Aranha of Brazil. At the Pan-American Union, which | recently proposed a monetary con- ference between Latin American | countries and this Nation, officials | said there was slight chance it would | be held. Surveying the general monetary picture, authorities agreed a proposal | by Representative Dies, Democrat, | of Texas for an international cur- | rency congress probably would face ‘Treasury opposition. Dies asked Congress to direct Pres- | ident Roosevelt to call a conference to stabilize currencies on some per- manent basis and distribute the | world's gold and silver stocks more equitably. No Gold Plan Yet. Treasury officials declined to dis- cuss the Dies proposal specifically, | but other informed persons said such & conference at present would face | some of the knottiest international | exchange problems in history. | These persons cited that the con- | ferees would find the United States | holding almost $12,000,000,000 in gold, or more than half the world's visible | supply. | The administration has been seek- ing some method of checking con- | tinued heavy gold inflows from abroad, but so far no plan has materialized. Nations with scant gold supplies, | such as Germany and Italy, might be eager to effect some agreement under which they could acquire more of the metal to support their cur- gencies, it was said. France, Great Britain and others with sizable hold- fngs probably would have little con- eern. 3 | Authorities said a conference might | develop controversy over the value of gold as a monetary base under present conditions, but they added that most nations probably would oppose aban- doning it entirely.
