It reiterated its pledge to send volunteers to Viet Nam, if re- quested by the Vietnamese Com- munists
A Chinese foreign ministry statement did ‘Rot mention the
proposed Commonwealth peace mission by name. . * But it said that while Presi-

In Geneva, Swiss bankers, businessmen and monetary au- thorities do not see current troubles as symptoms of re- semblance to 1929-31
They said the most wide spread trend is represented by deliberate “disinflationary” pol- icies in various European coun- tries, which might bring on re- cessions if carried too far
In the Swiss view. the cur- rent nervousness on Wall Street is based almost entirely on psy- thological factors, especially ancertainty over Viet Nam
