The dollar standard looms over wartime costs and U S balance of payments. West Germany halted trading to reassess actions and keep money markets stable. On Sunday Chancellor Brandt and Minister Schiller agreed to let the mark float to find its parity via supply and demand, with the current rate around 3.66 marks per dollar and large dollar outflows.
