We sailed from New York August
27, with a humbsr of economic ex
perts and clerks. Dortag fos trip
over we had Oomlttae meetlnga
lasting three hours each Btorntor
and aftenioon. when we were brief
ed OB and dtecnased foe eeonomle
problems of Burope. It was decid
ed that foe whtee Committee would
h(dd general heartags for a few
days in England and Germany flrat
but thereafter it would break np
into 8ubk)iommitteea so aa to make
a more detailed and exhaustive lu-
vestlgatlon of each country during
tho four or five weeks allotted ns.
The following sub-Committecs were
formed: (a) Finance, with hpad-
qnarten in London; (b) Agrlenl-
turc; (e) Auatrla-Oermany; (d)
France • Belgium - HoUand-Luxem-
burg; (e) ItalyOrauee ■fh’test^.. I
chose the last named Committee
because I had visited the other
countries involved as a member
of a mission in 1M5 and was par
ticularly intoTMted tn bow our pro-
Rijun was going forward in Greece
and foe Mediterranean Ares I
must, however, give some impres
sions of the United Kingdom gain
ed during the few days I was there
Mt the beginning and end of our
trip.
We arrived at Southampton on
the morning of Sept. 2. and after
a two hour train trip were in Lon-
and immpdiately embarked on
Msertes of oonferMkoea^lUi offi-
elals of foe Brltisb government.
It had been apparent for some -
time that the British economy te
sick and that the British pound
sterling, formerly foe dominant
medium of exchange in the world
of International trade, was losing
•out. ** According to Treasury and
Commerce experts te Washington,
fos offset on world trade will be
serioBs. Britain will be forced to
cut Imports and nations which ss4I
to Britain will have to cut their
purchases from the United States.
Naturally we were concerned about
this, particularly in view of foe
$8,760,000,000 loan made to Britain
by fop United States, and foe re
quest from Britain for additional
help.
We conferred with Sir Wilfred
Bady of the British Treasury. Mr.
