Conference saves world monetary talks after collapse
The world monetary and economic conference, thought lost, was saved by President Roosevelt acting through Cordell Hull and with Canadian PM R. B. Bennett. The steering committee agreed to continue the meeting but exclude monetary and tariff matters, awaiting currency stabilization before further discussion. The gold bloc’s push for adjournment failed as Chamberlain backed preservation of the talks, with sub-committees to refine the outcome. A French spokesman warned the conference is effectively dead.
