WASHINPTON.
D.C..
Sept.
23,
The
United
States
government
regards
the
action
of
Oreat
Britain
In
suspending
temporarily
the
gold
standard
as
likely
to
Improve
economic
conditions
in
England
and
elsewhere
In
the
world.
The
change
Is
not
'regarded
as
serious
so
far
as
this
country
is
concerned.
4
Its
possibility
had
always
existed
in
any
case.
One
of
the
results
of
the
change
may
be
a"
tendency
to
bring
about
stronger
competition
between
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States
for
the
disposal
of
exports
In
countries
where
both
nations
have
extensive
business
dealings
such
as
the'
South
American'
republics.
Official
Washington
believes
that
the
intention
of
Oreat
Britain
is
not
so
much
to
suspend
the
gold
standard
as
to
allow
th
standard
trf
be
variable.
