A treasury statement said the government had spent. great proportion" of ii-s gold and was selling United States secur- ities "steadily."

Now, it was stated, the treasury plans to get dollars to meet pur- chases in America from the sale oi British-owned businesses in the United States. and United Staws companies vrhicli controlled by Britons’ shares.

A leading expert on such mat»- ters. Canadian-born Sir Edward Peacock, will arrive in the United States shortly. and he is expected to knock down such British busi- nesses ziiicl companies to the high- cst bidder. The treasury state-

ieni said merely that he would ‘examine the possibilities" of such sales. _

A treasury spokesman said he was unable to give the value of tiicse -I‘PSDIII‘CES because their shares are not listed on the stock exchange and "probably the own- ers themselves do not know what. they are worth at the market." SPRING VALLEY

"This is a verv important point." he said slowly. "In case of disaster to Britain-which none of us wants to happen-this bill might be the means by which we can save the remnants of the British fleet."

Stimson expressed belief that 1f Britain held out; in the next; few months the German domination of ‘Europe would eventually crack up. He said "the Axis powers can not ndefinitelv hold the European world in slavery."

Senator Arthur Vandenberg (Rep. Mich.) asked what: Stimson thought of an amendment to set forth lust which countries shall receive the help of United States-made wax supplies.

If the Germans do in fact. try the thrust across the Channel. lie added. they will time it to "begin before United States aid becomes too pronounced."
