STABILIZATION AWAITS ACTION BY ALL OTHERS Morgenthau Says U. S. Dollar Sound as Is And Hints no Hurry To Change WASHINGTON. May 14. UP)— Secretary Morgenthau'* apeecb de claring that the American dollar 1* •'abfeoluteh sound” and that the United State* 1* “not unwilling to stabilize’’ under certain conditions was widely regarded Tuesday as an official New Deal reply to critics who assert that an end to monetary uncertainty Is needed to restore con fidence In Wall Street, as here a principle question talked over Tuesday was the probable effect of the speech on the much-discussed restoration cm as surances as to the future of the dol lar In New York’s financial com munity. some bankers and econo mists said the speech should help restore confidence, while other* said they saw little meaning in it. Not to Act Alone What, if any, future moves the speech portends was not made known. All mdioations from adminis tration sources have been that stab ilisation was a topic for some time In the future rather than the im mediate present. Morgenthau’s speech was taken as a sign that the United Stales does not intend to act singly for international stabilization. “The world should know," he said Monday night, “that when it is ready tc seek foreign exchange stabiliza tion. Washington will not be sn ob stacle. Our position was that of an Innocent bystander who suffered untold loss in a fight that we did not start, and from which we could not escape. "Why should we be singled out and admonished that the moral duty to restore order is primarily ours? Be fore we make any commitments, we must be sure that we will not lose what we have just regained. MWe are not unwilling to stabllce. However, if the great trading nations elect to continue under the present absence of rules, we are no longer at a disadvantage. We have revalued our currency not more than was necessary and we can go either way. Our hands are untied.” Gives Credit to F. D *'6o far from engaging In a com* petitve devaluation race with other nations," he said, "we hold out to them a currency of such steadiness that the normal tendency may very well be for the rest of the world to move gradually toward practical ex change stabilization. If that can be achieved, the final step should come easily and almost of its own accord. Unless somebody rocks the boat that would be the natural course." Another theme running through the secretary's speech was his con tention that the Roosevelt monetary policies saved the United States from disaster. Hitting the Hocver administration on the ground that It "stubbornly refused” to take action when gold left the United States in •alarming amounts" In 1932. he said: "The monetary policy of this (Roosevelt! administration rescued us from chaos held the fort through the most trying period of our recov ery program: and is now the spear head as we advance steadily toward our goal " Flashes of Life (By The AMOciated PrcM» Down On the Farm NEW YORK.—The honest joys ol life on the farm are to be denied no longer to the youngsters cn the sidewalks, of New York.
