Mr. McNEILL

On the 12th February the Financial Committee of the League of Nations passed a Resolution declaring that in its opinion nothing could contribute more effectively to the economic restoration of the world than a return to an effective gold standard or to a gold exchange standard (in accordance with the Resolutions of the Genoa Con- ference), at any rate in countries which have succeeded in stabilising their currency.
