An

of
Neville
Chamberlain,
Britain's
chancellor
of
the
exchequer
made
a
few
days
before
England,
France
and
the
United
States
joined
in
a
"gentleman's
agreement"
to
devaluate
their
money
in
relation
to
each
other's
currency.
Chamberlain
is
seen
munching
his
lunch
during
a
fishing
party
on
Loch
Ntss,
Scotland.
England,
France
and
the
United
Slates
realigned
their
respective
currencies
in
an
attempt
to
bring
about
a
worldwide
equilibrium
of
exchange.
The
