BRITISH EEIIATES

dgpelldEflt, by then.

The 10-point program for at- tacking Britain's dollar crisis in- volves four immediate trade con- cessions by the United States and Canadian Governments, The other li.\' are in the form of promises by tin; two countries to review and consider changes in such touchy economic policies as tariffs, ship- ping. and general purchasing pro- grams.

The first four steps are:

l. Permission from the United Sizilcs for Britain to use Marshall- Pirin dollars for a "wider rangc" at products. Britain had urgently requested this permission, particu- lnriy for purchase of Canadian wheat which she has been buying with her own scarce dollars. Un- diir present rules Britain must con- fine its Marshall-Plan purchases of wheat to the United States.

2. A pledge by Canada to in- crease buying of strategic tin and rubber from British areas and a Fnitcd States promise to review its stock-piling program to see if it. can do the some.

Ii. A streamlining of United States and Canadian customs regu- lations to eliminate "red ta e" which Britain claims has hln er- ed her shipments of goods.

The United Stairs already has started to overhaul these customs rules and will go to Congress later for permission to make more dras- tic changes. Canada promised to "review" its customs operations.

4. An implied promise that the United States rnlght permit Bri- tain to discriminate temporarily against American imports in favor of goods from non-dollar areas. This would require relaxing article 9 in the 1946 British loan agree- ment and article 5 in the Anglo- Canadian financial agreement,

The United States apparently re- fused Britain's request to cancel entirely the “non-discrimlnation" aspect of this article but instead agreed to consider each British import restriction as it comes up.

Bevin Pleased

Foreign Secretary Bevin, who headed the British delegation, joy- fully hailed the results of the fin- linclal talks as proof that the Western Allies can co-opernte as effectively in the economic field as they do in the political arena.

"This lays the foundation for an- other field of co-operatlon where we can help build a sound peace," he told a crowded joint press con- ference after the closing session.

Treasury Secretary John Snyder. the top American delegate, took a more cautious line. He said the discussions marked a "substantial advance in approaching a solu- tion” of Britain's economic pro-

biems. " Canada's top representative, Fin- nnce Minister Abbott, said he

thought the meeting had made "real headway."

Abbott said tn reply to a ques- lion that he hopes Canada will be able to continue to relax import restrictions. But ‘he stressed that it depends on general develop- ments in the world's currency and trade problems. '

l-Ie said he has “no present in- tention" of changing regulations affecting the amount of United‘ States currency Canadians may

bring into the United States on visits. Nor was there any plan to curtail Canadian agricultural pro- duotion.

The six other steps agreed upon by the three Western Allies as "long-range" help for Britain are:

l. Overseas investments - a three-power committee will be set: up to outline ways for increasing the flow of private and govern- ment bank funds for investment. in British areas.

2. Tariff policy - a statement by the United States that its pol- icy is to seek further tariff cuts within the framework of the Re- ciprocal Trade Act — a hint that Britain might expect duties on some of her goods to be lowered.

3. Further discussion of ways in which Britain could earn more dollars by use of her merchant fleet to haul exports.

4. More discussion of plans for Britain to buy oil with sterling in- stead of dollars. thus relieving the drain of her dollar supply. A three-power group was appointed to "analyze the facts snd to pro- vide the basis for subsequent dis- cussions."

5. A further study of ways in which Britain can handle the 313.500.000.000 war debt she owes the sterling countries to keep it from interfering with plans for expanded exports and increased production from her industries.

d. An agreement by the three governments to continue consults- tion on Brltaln's'economlc prob-

iems. . For their part, Britain and the countries in the Commonwealth

promise to launch a "vigorous st- tack" upon production costs to bring down the price o! sterling- area ytoducla. "

Britain also promised to create “appropriate incentives" to ex- porters in British areas in order to attract them to dollar markets.

Britain's third assurance was that she would exert “maximum efforts" to increase earnings from tourist travel and "other services.”

lem adequately until we look at: adult education," he said. "There should be some assessment of the adult education techniques being used."

-Other speakers said they believ- ed religious education should be projected on a wider field, not confined mainly to children. This could only be accomplished -— among other things -—- by a great- er financlal investment to obtain field service workers.

A Toronto member, Canon H. J. Cody, commented: "You can't overplay the part of the church in education."

0n a board resolution regard- ing the church and Canadian uni- versities. Canon W. l-l. Davison of Montreal referred to students and said: "In the measure that we win those men so shall the church's work go forward."

“But the appalling thing is the extraordinary ignorance many have of the Christian faith."

Canon Neyior said he believed tho educational systems of all Provinces with the exception of Newfoundland could be justly cri- ticized. llc said solution to these defects was not the introduction of religious courses into the schools and universities. Instead it should come from a review "of our own backgrounds and what education actually is."

“There is s great need for some- body who will make an investi- gation of the whole situation."

Adoption of the board report carried seven resolutions. These asked:

l. Provision by the clergy for the elements of Christian educa- tion and subsequent use of the ‘programs and services provided by the G. B. R. E.

2. Constant revision and use of the Church's Truth and Life ser- ies of Sunday School textbooks

greatness of their responsibility in the co-operative task of giving children a Christian training.

4. Extension of the Church's pro- gram _in leadership training through parochial training classes, summer schools, deanery confer- ences and by LUII ,JOI'Id€l'IC€.

5. Commendation of the action by Trinity and Wycliffe Colleges in Toronto by providing a time lecturer on “the teaching function of the Church." and a hope that other theological col- leges soon would take similar steps.

ti. Further commendation of the universities’ Canterbury Clubs and other Anglican fellowship groups and the work of the stu- dents Christian movement.
