THE QUOTA SYSTEM AND BANS ON IMPORTS WERE DE- NOUNCED IN THE REPORT AS FACTORS TYING UP WORLD TRADE.
THESE, TOGETHER WITH THE LACK OF ANY DEFINITE ARRANGEMENT WITH REGARD TO CURRENCIES, WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRESENT STATE OF THE INTER- NATIONAL CREDIT MARKET.
“WORLD OPINION," DECLARED DR. TRIP, “IS BEGIN- NING TO DEMAND THAT A SERIOUS EFFORT BE MADE TO SOLVE THESE BIG OUTSTANDING PROBLEMS.
"It is a task which should be taken in hand with understand- ing, courage and goodwill.
Only in this way will it be pos- sible to achieve satisfactory re- sults."
After reading the Report, Dr. Trip resigned his post as President of the Bank,
Dr. Hjalmar Schacht (Germany) expressed appreciation of Dr. Trip's services as President, after which Dr. Beyen was elected new Pre- sident.
