Ribot has arranged with Mr. Asquith and Mr. M'Keima that the Allies will pool gold in order to render the collective financial position more solid, to enable England to maintain the gold standard and enlarge the scope of credit in the United States.

The gold will be returned to the coffers of the Bank of France after the war.
