...best answers to these cynics are the Roosevelt-Churchill Atlantic Charter which in Article IV pledges a workable post war world economy and the meeting next month in Washington of Vice-President Wallace with Sir Leith-Ross which will give substance to that pledge. Plans will be made to prevent the raw materials of the world from being monopolized by the powerful victors to the exclusion of others; and preparations will be made for transferring post-war Europe from a war to a peace footing.

There, Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, Economic Adviser to the British Government, insisted that the Poles spend the projected $25,000,000 loan in Britain. Head of the Polish Finance Commission Colonel Adam Koc was equally insistent that no strings be attached to the loan, and once last week he threatened to leave London in a huff. At week's end there was talk...
