Bankers ask Removal of Barriers

London-Another attempt to find a
cure for the financial and industrial
difficulties of Europe was launched
in the form of manifesto signed by
an unusually long list of bankers
and industrialists of international
note, including ]. P. Morgan Of New
York. Every country in Europe is
represented among the signatories as
we'll as the United States through a
half dozen well known financiers.
The significance of the manifesto is
felt to lie more in the weight of its
signatories than in it's subject mat
ter, which is simply an appeal for re-
moval of the many barriers obstruct-
ing the restoration of European pre-
war international trading and ex-
