Britain, in economic trouble again, is an exception. Last month the British government decided to float the pound. As expected, its price dropped, making Britain a bit of a bargain for the tourist this summer. A fall in the foreign price of the dollar would give U.S. businessmen new opportunities abroad.

West Germany alone holds more than $24 billion, its central bank having bought $800 million yesterday alone to keep the dollar from sinking below the floor of 3.15 marks. In Amsterdam. Brussels and Zurich the dollar also was at the bottom of the officially permitted range and only central bank buying support kept it from falling through.
