The Secretary of State to the Chargé in the United Kingdom (Gallman)
9039. On October 11 US–UK Commercial Policy Committee ratified agreed positions, which had been worked out earlier in combined subcommittees, regarding a) procedure for holding proposed conference on trade and employment in a manner designed to avoid unilateral decision by US as to whether non-United Nations should be invited to conference; b) export taxes; c) state trading; and d) subsidies. There remain for consideration subjects of cartels, exchange controls, and preferences. It is hoped that an agreement in subcommittee regarding first two of these will be reached shortly.
