By the Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. 13.-Western
Europe, retiring to a siege econ

lars, pulled belts still tighter this
week and hoped that American
financial aid will not be long
delayed.
Three of Europe's greatest ma

of the wealthiest smaller states, I'M
SCARED Sweden, felt the first pinches
of an economic wise clamped over all

Key developments this week in the
vests search for stability and pros

/. Thirteen Of the 16 nations at
the Paris Marshall Plan conference,
including Britain, France and Italy,
announced they will investigate the
possibility of joining together in a
customs union or unions, which
would be economic units without
trade barriers between members
presenting common tariff policy
to the outer world.
All other European nations except
Spain will be invited to join in a
study group on the plan.

suggestions were too selfish and
nationalistic.
Production is Stressed.
3. The executive board of the
International Monetary Fund said
increased production is the final
solution to world economic prob
lens. Without it, the board said,
there will be evil consequences
which will affect all. The warning
came in the boards annual report
made public at its meeting here.
4. Outside assistance is vital but
it represents a small percentage OF
the total effort" required, said World
Bank President John J. McCloy tc
the banks executive directors, also
in session here. The bank urged
removal or reduction of tariffs, in

with the imports announced earlier
would make up the difference be-

What does Mr.. Denham propose

There was plenty of indication
that other officers of the AFL pro-

AFL compliance with the Denham
