Glass said, THE treasury department
does not offer objection provided the
scope and character and limitations
of such q conference, as well as the
impossibility of the United states
government action, are clearly un-
derstood But there are numerous
suggestions contained in the memor-
ial sent broadcast by the leaders
which are clearly not appropriate for
consideration, such as cancellation OF
some or any obligations OF foreign
governments held by the United
