fi 8/ - 6/350) ’ 1 am dlrected l>y Secretary Sir John Simon to inform you
that the departure of the currency of the United States of America from a
gold standard renders necessary a revision of paragraphs 4 and 5 of that
circular.
2 . In order to determine the equivalent in local currency of the value of
fees fixed*in gold francs, the French franc will be used in place of the United
States dollar as hitherto, 10 gold francs being regarded as equal to 50
French francs and 1 gold franc to 5 French francs. The same ratio will be
used for fees of any other amount fixed in gold francs.
3. You should, therefore, in future collect local currency equivalent to
these sums, using the current local quotation for exchange on Paris in
place of the rate on New York hitherto used.
4. In all other respects the instructions conveyed in the circular
referred to above remain unchanged.
5. Unless you are otherwise directed in future, you should continue to
collect fees fixed in United States currency in the same manner as hitherto,
e.g., for a fee fixed at $10 you should collect the equivalent in Ipoal
currency of $10 at the rate of exchange for the dollar current at the time of
payment.
6 . Copies of this circular are enclosed for distribution to those of your
subordinate officers who are authorised, or may in future be authorised, to
grant visas.
