VALUE OF FRANC
CUT 9 PER CENT
Daladier Government Acts
Simultaneously to Ban
Profiteering and Price
Rises Under Devaluation
PARIS. May 5. (AP) The Dala
dier government, seeking a solid
monetary base for t rearming France,
today fixed a new bottom for the
franc at the level of 2 .79 cents,
or 88.50 franca to the dollar.
V- This stabilization represented
devaluation of about nine per cent
from the average rates of the "float
ing franc" of the last ten months
and brought the currency to the
lowest level since the Poincare sta
bilization of June 34. 1928.
The franc was ordered tied defi
nitely to the pound sterling under
the accord for monetary equilibrium
among the United States. Britain and
France.
The government acted simultan
eously to prevent profiteering and
price risea under the devaluation.
The ministry of interior Issued a
communique saying:
The government has decided to
proceed to stabilization of the franc
but this measure should in no way
provoke any increase whatsoever
In prices.
"On the contrary, it should assure
their proper stability."
Prefectures were ordered to take
a census of today's prices for use
by police surveillance committees to
guard against price Increases. Un-
Justified increases will subject mer
,K chants to prosecution.
Finance minister Paul Marohan
deau. announcing the new monetary
measure, emphasized that it was not
"legal stabilization" because the gold
content was not fixed by law.
He called it "an operation whose
goal Is to achieve, first, de facto
stabilization."
LONDON, May 6. (AP) Sir John
Blmon. chancellor of the exchequer,

It waa the first official British
statement on the devaluation of the
franc. Sir John added:
"As I have seen a wild rumor
which suggested there might be a
lowering of the value of the dollar,
may I take this opportunity of say
ing that that has been officially
and vigorously denied In Washing

"Equally, of course, we are not
