...moneymen from three continents gathered in the former hotel for the bank's 37th annual meeting. They came not so much for the brief formal session (at which President Jelle Zijl-stra of The Netherlands Bank was elected B.I.S. president to succeed his retiring fellow countryman, Marius Holtrop) as for the two preceding days of frank talk behind closed doors about monetary problems. "You save two weeks of travel in Europe by coming here," explained Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin, who led the U.S. contingent...

Says Van Lennep, a jonkheer whose title of nobility dates from the early 19th century: "With Working Party III, a new dimension has been added to international monetary discussions. Now we discuss the problems of countries with surpluses as well as those with deficits...
