...that suggested a parallel move. In effect the British loan married the paper pound to the gold franc, made them an effective team to maneuver against any sudden tricks on the part of the dollar. It brought France still another advantage, for no gold will have to cross the Channel to upset foreign exchange further. The Bank of France already holds ?30,000,000 sterling left over from her purchases before the franc was stabilized in 1928. This she will cede to the French Treasury when the loan must be paid off.

...radiocasting in England is done by the Government's British Broadcasting Corp. which permits no advertising programs, a rule dearly cherished by the British Press. Thrifty France has no such taboo. Many a British and U. S. advertiser broadcasts from trans-Channel stations to the British audience (5,000,000 licensed sets). Of all British newspapers only the sporting London Sunday Referee prints the trans-Channel programs. Lately the Referee committed what, to its contemporaries, was treason.
