Another polat which must be borne in mild in comparing the dar figures is the extraordinary rise in the sterling equivalent of the dollar or rather the correspond ing fall in the doller equivalent of the pound sterling. On the oth June 195 the doliar stood at 38. 10., on the 31st December 1965 it stood at 2:0 and on the 31st Decembar 1966 at 2/3,916. As you are aware, most of husiders is transacted in gold currencies and most of our funds are held in gold, so you mana turn our accounts into gold before making comparisons. Another element is our purchase of the shares in the hips Trailers Insurance

Our arrange ments with that company have produced another result which perhaps you may not have inoked fur, namely a considerable reduction in our working account figures, and I would like to draw your special attention to this itat point.
