fort to lead the world out OF the imam

Secretary Glass declared in letter
to q committee OF the chamber OF

on the meeting, that such a confer
ence would serve "to cause confusion

pointment, or further government
loans"
With a note Of some finality, Mr..
Glass set forth the governments pol
icy with respect to furnishing credits,
stating that the treasury els opposed
to government control over foreign
trade and finance and even more op-
posed to private control. 1t is con-
vinced that the credits required for
the economic restoration must come

respect. this government fears the
proposed conference would mean many
