He was interviewed by the United Press because his difficulties exemplify conditions in hundreds of thousands of groceries the nation over.

After the conversation, Mr. Roosevelt, was said in hiyii quarters to still have every confidence that the conference will proceed. He would not comment on his talk with Mr. Hull, preferring to let the actions at London speak for themsclvc.s. At the While House, however, it was explained emphatically why the president will not consider immediate stablizalion of the dollar, which has been demanded by the European gold bloc at the threat of disruption of the conference.

In an official source that knows, he was described as feeling that any stabilization agreement require the United States to establish a stabilization fund and morally bind this country to export gold to back up the agreement, if it became necessary. He is not ready to export gold ot- to enter any agreement that would morally obligate this country to export gold. Mr. Roosevelt realizes that the question of stabilization of currencies in international exchange means much to some of the European but, does not regard it as a factor at all affecting the United States. He is looking 10 nn eventual permanent basis of stabilization, but holds to the opinion that mii.st come about first after each country has stabilized its own domestic purchasing, power.
