DEVALUATION
IS EXPECTED
FOR BELGIUM
BRUSSELS. Belgium March 28.
VP)—The government Thursday or
dered the Belgian bourses to re
main closed for the next three days,
beginning Thursday.
The order was published in a
apeclal edition of the Official
Chuette. There will be no quota
tions of foreign exchange tn the
country during the period the
bourses are closed
Closing of the bourses was the
government’s first open step to
clarify the country”* perplexing fi
nancial situation.
The general view is that a de
valuation program will be an
nounced at a Joint convocation of
parliament PYiday.
The ii.elusion of socialists in the
newly created cabinet of Premier
Paul Van Zeeland is regarded as
settling the devaluation issue and
leaving open, only the question of
the amount and whether the belga
will continue to be linked with the
gold bloc or Join the sterling ranks.
DEVALUATION OF
25 PER CENT EXPECTED
LONDON. March 28 <AV-British
financial circles viewed the an
nounceemnt Thursday from Brun
ei* that the bourses would be clos
ed for three days as an indication
the government has definitely de
cided on a devaluation program and
wishes to check the possibility of
panicky selling.
Private advices from Brussels to
exchange houses here indicate the
belief that devaluation will be 25
per cent.
The belga weakened on the ex
change market early, selling at
24.00 to the pound compared with
an overnight rate of 22.38. Other
gold currencies eased in sympathy
with the franc, which sold at 7300
COLLAPSE OF GOLD
BLOC IS PREDICTED
PARIS March 28 (A*)—A col
lapse of the gold bloc w'lthin a few
months was feared by financiers
Thursday as a consequence of the
reported imminent devaluation of
Belgian currency, a sudden Swiss
monetary crisis, and the increasing
gravity of the French money situa
tion.
The closing of the Belgian bourses
Thursday was taken as a signal
that devaluation was imminent or
that the belga would be pernutted
to drift.
French government circles said
they accepted a Belgian desertion
from the gold standard as inevit
able since France refused the aid
which former Premier Georges
fheunis of Belgium sought March
18 The refusal forced the resig
nation of Theurus and his cabinet.
The belga dropped on the foreign
exchange Thursday from the open
ing quotation of 3.24 francs to 2 90
francs, later recovering to 3.12
francs. Wednesday the belga clos
ed at 3 09 francs.
Switzerland's problem became
suddenly acute through the report
ed flight of 100.000.000 Swiss francs
curing the last few days. Exchange
experts said this constituted a seri
oub dntin on Switzerland and was
dangerous because of the tight
situation of all gold bloc countries
