Inside tonal financial affairs asserted saturday that the Hyde Park agreement Between Canada and the United states has been sus Pended because of Canada s sur plus accumulation of american dollars. The Hyde Park agreement was made april 20, 1940 by prime minister King and president Roosevelt. It was aimed to avoid Exchange difficulties by attempting insofar As possible to equalize Canadian War purchases in the United states with . Buying in Canada in carrying out the . Preparedness programme. Under the arrangement it is now asserted that . Purchases in Canada vastly exceeded Canadian buying in the . The result was the Canadian fund american dollars so the financial Sheet says has vastly exceeded the original limitation american dollars which Canada was permitted to accumulate under the terms of the Hyde Park agreement. The agreement therefore is no longer necessary. It is understood that in the interim the Over balance of american funds held by Canada is being remedied by Canadian Pur chases with american dollars of War installations constructed by the . A Canada such As Ai r Fields radio equipment Etc. There is no doubt that enemies of the Roosevelt administration will attempt to use this matter against the president in the com ing National election Campaign. One charge they Are preparing is that while Canada nominally received no lease lend from the United states actually she did.

The answer to this is that Canada on the other hand bought much material in the United states with Canadian funds which went Inlo lease Lead War supplies constructed in Canada for Britain in Short Canada i nereid acted As the manufacturing agent in the latter Case. This was especially True with reference to ships built in Canada under the programme. Memorial service held for Archdeacon Scott new York april 17.
