He said that this jump would bring the fund to 550,000,-000.ad, vwajroadf necessary, by the unsettled international monetary situation. "In addition to the recent release of hoarded gold," Sir John said, "there has been much financial disturbance abroad and a general tendency for capital funds to move to London." Debate on the measure will start on Monday. Keren! drain of sterling to Franre was considered to be the paramount reason behind Sir J John's surprise move. French Interests have been selling francs and buying sterling in the belief I that the franc would again be devaluated.
