Tri-Power Agreement Effective Today Between U. S.,
France and Great Britain. Says Will Protect
American Values at Home
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, — Secretary of the Un

ced today the establishment of “a new type of gold
standard” by the United States, Great Britain and
France, providing free exchange of gold between stab
ilization funds of the three nations
The tri-power agreement becomes effective today,
he said. It does not establish fixed ratios for the cur
rencies in the three countries, and gold transactions
will not be permitted by individuals.
The chief effect of the new arangements, Morgen
thau said, would be to take the power to trade gold
out of the hands of “irresponsible speculators”, and
put it in the hands of the government.
Other nations will be welcome to enter into the
agreement at any time, said Morgenthau, adding that
the arrangement might be revoked at any time, by any
of the three nations, with twenyt-four hours’ notice.
The U. S. Treasury chief said the primary purpose
of the agreement is to protect American business ag
ainst violent fluctuations in exchanges. He asserted
it would have not effect on the international value of
the dollar.
Brown Ready
First Hop To
Connect Seattle
Pilot Chester Brown, of the
Arctic Airways, who reports he
is only waiting on weather con
ditions, to start the first lap of a
three-day flight to Seattle via
Anchorage, with outgoing pass
engers, said he thought this
would be a fine opportunity for
“A No. 1” publicity for Nome and
Alaskan aviation. He suggested
that a present, symbolic of Nome,
from the Mayor of the city to
Mayor Dore of Seattle, would be
a fitting commemoration of this
rapid transportation service to
the states.
For Nome, it would be taking
advantage of the type of publi
city which the city and country
needs, said Manager of the Arc
tic Airways, Chester Brown.
