Addressing a seven-power plenary
session this morning, he made it clear
that American banks have not with-
drawn any of their credits in Ger-

their credits'.
Members of all delegations except
the Japanese, it was learned, spoke and
displayed general agreement that, the
first thing to be done was to insure
that all credits granted Germany at
this time would not be withdrawn.
It was suggested that-Germany take
further measures to halt withdrawals
of short term credits from Germany

afternoon. .
