Re: | DWS International Fund, Inc. (the “Registrant”); File No. 811-00642 |

On behalf of the Registrant, and pursuant to Rule 488 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, electronically transmitted herewith is the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form N-14 relating to the conversion of shares of each class of DWS Pacific Opportunities Equity Fund into shares of the corresponding class of DWS International Fund, each a series of the Registrant (the “Conversion”).

The Registration Statement is proposed to become effective on September 11, 2006 pursuant to Rule 488 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Please direct all of your questions and/or comments regarding this filing to the undersigned at (617) 951-7235 or to Jacob Comer at (617) 951-7913.
Very truly yours,
Kathleen Nichols
