War debts are in arrears and Great Britain would be the first expected to resume payments. An Anglo American reciprocal trade treaty f. under negotiation. Kennedy is Q banker and financier well grounded in the kind of problems which would arise around such economic issues.
 His New Deal services consist of fronting for the administration be- fore big business in addition to his work as chairman in organization of the securities and exchange com- mission and the maritime commits sion.
