Washington, September 5. American, British and Canadian leaders moot here an Wednesday to see if they tan fool the ex- ports and come up with a mutually acceptable solution to Britain's money troubles. Pessimism has been the keynote of nearly all ad- vance discussions. The consensus of expert opinion on both sides of the Atlantic is that drastic measures are necessary to cure Britain's chronic and now critical shortage of dollar earnings.
