但法国人从未明确说明究竟要在何种程度上回复到金本位制度，也没能解释该做法如何有助于实现物价和金融稳定，因为1930年代黄金市场的剧烈波动及其对金本位制度的灾难性影响（法国尤甚）足已令大家对此满腹狐疑了。
But the French never explained exactly how restoration of the gold standard might be accomplished, or how it would translate into price and economic stability, given gold markets’ volatility and the disastrous consequences of the gold standard – not least in France – in the 1930’s.
