Bonnet and French Premier Edouard Daladier are the stiffest of gold standard twins, Wall Street understood Chairman Cox to mean that President Roosevelt had definitely decided not to resort to inflation, at least during the Conference. Promptly, on the theory that dollars, if sound, are not a bad investment, Wall Street sold stocks & commodities, caused their prices to decline. Alarmed, Secretary of the Treasury Woodin declared in Washington that the U. S. Delegation could not have agreed in London to even tentative dollar stabilization.

It takes at least three to hunt snipe-one to hold the bag and two to enjoy the joke. Edouard Daladier is firmly determined that if the London Conference is a snipe hunt, it will not be France that is left holding the bag. She is already holding the gold standard bag, with pound, dollar, mark and lira all cut loose. She cannot devaluate her money further without risking violent...
