Letter: Euro visions

Sir: The myope is not Lord Howe but Ron West when he advocates the dollar over the euro. Firstly, international use of the dollar has not been spreading but shrinking for some years now; the advent of the euro ensures a dramatic decrease in the dollar's world role in the near future. Secondly, some 60 per cent of Britain's trade is with Euroland; this is three times more than with the United States. Thirdly, the euro is on offer to us; the dollar is not.
