THINKS SITUATION IMPROVES.

That financial afrairs both In the United
States and In Great britain are showing
improvement IL the opinion expressed In
the leading editorial In the Commercial
and Financial Chronicle OF October 10.
The Chronicle SAYS in part:
Financial affairs seem to he hnprov-
ing both In the United States and In
Great Britain. Is this country the most
encouraging development is the great
betterment OF the New York banks and
trust companies ms indicated by last
Saturdays Clearing House return. We
regard that as the crucial point in the
situation. Things cannot be regarded az
on the mend 80 long as the reserves
OF these institutions remain seriously i'm
paired This was our main reason for
questioning two weeks ago the wisdom
OF permitting further exports OF gold
through the sloo. 100000 gold pool
Since then. however. the deficiency In the
reserve Of the Clearing House Institutions
has been cut down from s3s.3S4.l0o to
S79s66hO and the specie holdings have
been Increased from $500. 900 20 1929.

fers OF gold TO Canada. both in connection
with the 100000 900 New York city
loan and the 500 900 900 gold pool
Thus In belated fashion, we are finally
retrieving our position. We are doing
AT length what Great Britain began 10
do Immediately upon the outbreak OF tho
war and what even the Bank OF France
and the Rank OF Germany claim to have
done in the interval since the war began
namely strengthen the reserves of the
banks. with this difference, that our Inn

sible that Sir George may he coming
with some specific plan as outlined in the
reports from Washington. They assert
that this is the case.
Much significance Is attached TO the

here as a man OF broad vision and daring
optimism. who would not be daunted in
tho face OF present encouragement from
proposing measures OF heroic nature and
sweeping extent That he comes not as

wiser to the Chancellor OF tho Exchequer

his visit. Those who know Sir George
are ready TO credit the report that he has
secured the Endorsement OF the British
Treasury TO some broad plan he has de-
veloped for relief OF the worlds financial
strain and the quick rehabilitation Of
the credit machinery.
The general impression among bank
ers is that he is coming TO discuss the

blockade in the foreign exchange market

Blackett to Take Up Financial Problems
Brought About by War.
STOCK EXCHANGE OPENINGS TO BE DISCI

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1o.-secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo to-day confirmed the
news contained in THE Suns Washington
despatch this morning that important steps
have been taken by Great Britain with
view to supporting the United States in
working out foreign exchange difficulties
and other big financial problems growing
out OF the war.
Mr.. McAdoo disclosed the fact that this
Government has taken the Initiative In
bringing about conference with British
representatives. His statement makes 1t
apparent that the movement started for
International cooperation to meet the
worldwide financial problems has been
Initiated by the Governments, and is NOT
entirely bankers affair.
Mr. McAdoo disclosed that besides Sir
George Paish editor of tho Sfattst and
the well known British economist. n repre-
sentative OF the British Treasury IL COM
ing to the United States to cooperate with
Washington officials in an effort to bring
about n more substantial working ar
rangement between Great Britain and the
United States and possibly among other
European Powers in regard to credits and
other allied problems.
This was Secretary McAdoos state
ment:
ut IL trua that Sir George Paish and
Basil Blackett, representing the British
treasury, are coming to America for the
purpose OF discussing the international
exchange and cotton problems. Their
wish is the result OF Informal suggestions
by me through diplomatic channels TO
the Chancellor OF the Exchequer In Lon
don. because 1t Ia believed that dis
cussion OF certain phases OF these prob
lens on the ground here. may be produc-
tive OF beneficial results This Ia simply
another one OF those instances where the
Government Ia using its good offices in
every possible way 70 help the business
situation"
Mr. McAdoo declined to 20 into details
In regard 20 the purpose OF the coming
conference between Great Britain's rep
resentatives and the Treasury officials in
WashlnEton. II Is known. however, that
the conference will seriously consider the
bureau along lines Indicated In THE sun
Plans for such an important movement
are more or less ncbulous at this time
and necessarily will remain 30 until after
series OF conferences not only among
officials In Washington. but among bank
ers in this country and In London.
There are other problems, however, that
the British representatives, will consider
