           Dear Mr. President and Secretary Hull:           
 
                                                            
 
 
Last night Leopold Amery, Minister for India,  
and life long intimate companion of the P.M. (Churchill) dined alone with   
Annbel and me. I sent you quite recently his last letter on world   
affairs - I had sent previously over more than two years, similar letters   
                      from and to him.                      
 
                                                            
 
 
 I had answered his last letter, on Aug. 19, and enclose a copy. He   
defended his position with great ability and clear statement last night   
                  for nearly three hours,                   
 
                                                            
 
 
 Summing up- and he takes the same position in the Cabinet - I would   
                say he leaves the world with                
 
 
                                                            
 
(a) An international organization like our plan without any   
                   enforcement provision                    
 
                                                            
 
(b) Leave the several countries free in economic sense to trade in their   
                          own way.                          
 
                                                            
 
He does not believe gold is any longer essential but that credit,   
represented by pound sterling, is adequate for purposes to trade - That   
country is to find itself in so depleted a condition that it
 
                                                            
 
    (a) Need to produce all it can at home on the land.     
 
                                                            
 
hat it must be free from any trade shackles in the world mar
 
                                                            
 
 
I am sure you will find the P.M. taking somewhat these positions when he   
is ready  to discuss these matters. Our best brains are needed in this   
                           field.                           
 
                                                            
 
                     With kind regards,                     
 
                                                            
 
                         Sincerely,

                         Enclosure:                         
 
                                                            
 
                  Letter dated August 19.
