Agreement on Currency Revaluation Reaches Washington
United Press reports a agreement on international currency reform emerged from President Roosevelt's talks with foreign statesmen in Washington. A radiational revaluation with varying percentages is proposed, with a tentative schedule to be drafted at the World Economic Conference. Neville Chamberlain favors an eventual 80 percent devaluation of sterling to stabilize the dollar sterling rate around 3.40 per pound. If the U.S. devalues 18 percent, sterling's new par would be about 9.92. Negotiations may yield a compromise after months of testing rates.
