"I am in general agreement with your paper on American conversations. I like some parts of it very much indeed. I am intending shortly to re-write the Clearing Union in the form of a draft which could be handed to the Americans, and, in doing this, I shall probably take the liberty of borrowing some of your points.
"The only paragraph in your paper with which I do not more or less agree is paragraph 17. I do not believe it is worth while raising, even in discussion, the idea of zoning export markets.
"My revise of Primary Products has been in print for a week, but Hurst is holding from circulation in the hope of coming to some accommodation with Fergusson. This is probably not practicable, so I should expect the document to go round shortly."
