The broad aim of the strategy, worked out last weekend at a meeting of central bankers with France excluded, is to channel gold sales through the official international pool in London and freeze out speculators.
Since the Bank of France has dropped out of the pool, the French and their shaky economy may have to bear the brunt of privates speculative hoarding. That the French could be forced to put up their own resources or back down in President Charles de Gaulle's fight against the dollar. As the new plan became known, first indications were that speculators already were beginning to be frozen out of their past sources and were turning to the Paris gold market, or to less serious speculation in silver. Central bankers of the seven members of the gold pool met in Basel, Switzerland, last weekend. These seven- the United States, Britain, Switzerland, West Germany, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands- are pledged to cooperate in supplying gold buyers from their own reserves at the official U.S.
price of $35 an ounce. Under the new plan, the central banks of the seven gold pool countries have agreed to ban gold sales on credit or for future delivery. This ban limits the Emily's back and look who's with her! MGM JAMES JULIE DOUGLAS COBURN A MARTIN RANSOHOFF PRODUCTION Emily (Formerly The Americanization of Emily') LAST DAY Luxurious, SHOWS 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 PM speculators' maneuvering and has in fact been in force in London since the gold rush began just after devaluation of the pound Nov. 18. In addition, the gold pool members agreed to restrict all sales to other central banks except through the pool.
That would give the pool members a chance to scrutinize all potential sales and refuse orders which stem from large scale speculation. The policy now is to supply only legitimate requests for gold to back up currency. (Pepperell Firm To Pay Dividend WEST POINT, Ga.
