0 p Y DEPARTMENT OF STATE WASHINGTON February 18, 19I46 In reply refer to PL My dear Mr. Eccles: I have noted with a great deal of interest the very excellent article, llThe United Kingdom and Postwar International Trade,11 which appears on pages 1-13 of the January issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin* It has occurred to me that use of the article and also of the text of the British finite Paper which appears on pages 2027 of the same issue of the Bulletin, would be extremely valuable in connection with the Department of Statefs information program on the recent Anglo-American financial agreement. The information program is being handled by the Department's Division of Public Liaison, which is in a position to use this material widely in its work with publications, editors, writers, speakers, organized groups and radio people. Accordingly, I should like to inquire if 25,000 reprint copies of the article and the British White Paper could be made available for this purpose. The Department, as you know, is making every attempt to supply to the American people the fullest possible information on the various aspects of our foreign policy, for it is realized that only against a vigorous background of informed public opinion can that policy achieve real success. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Wm. Benton Assistant Secretary The Honorable Karriner S. Eccles, Chainnan, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.
