a f ormal letter to you stating that he had again arranged with Ronald Hansom, as Vice Chairman of this
Board, to attend as his alternate the meeting of the
Economic Stabilisation Board scheduled for Friday, March
19* You will recall that Mr. Haneoia attended the meeting on December 22 as his alternate*
The Chairman also asked me to enclose a copy

quoting you* He also requested that I send you the enclosed copy of an editorial from the Hew York Times of

particularly Impressed with It and felt that the views
they present and their approach to the problem are
highly important considerations*
