The report notes an Anglo-French loan arrangement with ongoing concerns over exchange rates. A half billion sum is mentioned, with Britain indicating the need for further assistance to stabilize the exchange as discussions continue.

Morgan & Co and a consortium would market the issue across the country to ensure broad subscription and support for export finance.
