Britain Plays All the Angles in Building Its Dollar Reserve

The news earlier this month that
the British Treasury had emerged
from July with more dollars and
gold than it had at the start Of the
month was hailed in London-ever
SO cautiously-as a bright hope for
the sterling areas economic future.
Down in the fine print of the
Treasury's report was acknowledge
ment that the money that made
the July surplus possible came from
the United States in one form of
aid or another. But SO unhappy has
been Britain's experience with
dwindling gold and dollar reserves
that even this slight improvement
$31 million-looked good. And the
source of the improvement could be
overlooked with ease by British
bankers, so grave has been Britain's
need for dollars in the years since
the end of the war.
Britain now commands q fund of
$1,716,0 100000 in gold and American
credits This is enough to keep the
lifelines of empire open for only six
weeks. 1t is also perilously close to
the SIT billion limit below which,
according to Sir Stafford Cripps dur
ing his term as Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Britain could not afford
to fall.
Prewor StobiIity
There was a time, up to the be-
ginning of World War II, when the
British pound sterling was the giant
among currencies. The King on his
throne, the navy on it's sea and the
scent franc and S. pound were
considered by the British the four
essentials of international stability.
Britain was the banking center OF
the world. Between exports and in

board often has been filled by inn
properly trained career officers with
lines of promotion in the services.
Fearing jeopardy of their careers,
they often have stymied meritoriouS
overall projects.
6. Service personnel have vigor-
ously resisted the beginning of STAN
dardization, cataloguing and other
programs. One service recently felt
it could not use 10 bulldozers from
another branch because it did not
use that particular make. although
there was no difference in what could
be accomplished with either type.
One service insists on common desks
being one inch wider than another.
Responsiveness
Z. The services resisted co-ordina-
ton of depot or distribution systems
as violating the theory of ''respon-
siveness to command"
8. The board has been unable to
exert leadership in correcting many
faulty supply practices in the services.
Within the departments. especially
the Army, there is lack of unity
among the technical services.
9. The board has been unable to
determine net requirements since uni
form, accurate inventory data are not
available and the board has not been
able to get such inventories set up.
10. The past history of the old
Army Navy Munitions Board, a vol
untary association started in 1922.
has acted as sort of obstructive
precedent, impeding the new boards
work.
SmolI's Boil
Blunt and vigorous Mr.. Small now
has the ball. He Is not new to Wash
ington. having served with the old
Munitions Board and then the War
Production Board. He was here as
Civilian Production Administrator in
1945 when he frequently crossed
swords with Wilson Wyatt. then Ma
tional Housing Administrator and
now Adlai Stevenson's personal cam
paign manager Mr.. Small is also q
successful business man.
Therefore. he has the needed ac-
quaintance with Government and
business conditions and practices.
But the mere issuance Of . direc-
