wartime wealth conscription today,
taking control Of individual British
holdings in 60 securities on the

the best conditions for financing the
war and preserving settled condi-
tons on the New York market"
The total value of the securities
which thus pass into the ownership
Of the Bank of England to bolster
Britain's drive for dollars was not
made known. but it was estimated
just before the war that British in
vestments in the United States
amounted to about f2O0, 900 600, the
equivalent Of nearly $1,000, 600, 900 at
the exchange rates then.

When war finally came September

all their nationals to register their
American securities. This Instituted
government control but left the Sc
