Not only d’d the two nations a- gree to accept each others money at face value without the necessity of transferring gold stocks to cover their exchange operations but henceforth London and Paris will share many common war expendit- ures and will absorb as partners the drains on their respective war re- serves “ln, ld and in dollars."
