"Our position was that of an Innocent bystander who suffered untold loss in a fight that he did not start, and from which he could not escape.
“Why should we be singled out and admonished that the moral duty to restore order is primarily ours?
“Before we make any commitments, we must be sure that we will not lose what we have just regained.
"We are not unwilling to stabilize. However, if the great trading nations elect to continue under the present absence of rules we are no longer at a disadvantage.
Summarizes
Summarizing the whole field of New Deal monetary moves, the secretary said:
"First: you have an absolutely sound dollar.
“Second: the monetary policy of this administration rescued us from chaos; held the fort through the most trying period of our recovery program; and Is now the spearhead as we advance steadily toward our goal.
"Third: of the great trading nations that revalued their currencies, we were the last, until quite recently, when Belgium Joined us.”
