...envoy of George V publicly urged that the dollar and the pound be pegged together, no doubt would exist that His Majesty's Government desired such stabilization. If one of Benito Mussolini's Undersecretaries of State called upon nations to create a World-wide Planned Economic Order, Il Duce's stand would be clear.
