Foreign Exchanges To Open Monday in Europe
Britain and the six Common Market nations agreed to reopen foreign currency exchanges on Monday but failed to reach a unified policy for dollar values. France and West GermanyDifferences blocked a joint plan, with Britain set to fix rates in London within a wider fluctuation band. The French favored a double rate approach, while West Germany pushed for freer float. A joint statement linked the move to Nixon’s gold policy and a 10 percent import tax, signaling a need for reform of official rates.
