London, August 31.

Plans for a joint Anglo-American Council on trade development between Britain and the United States may emerge from the "Big Threo" dollar- sterling crisis tolks which open in Washington next wook.

The new Anglo-American organisation visualised would be a permanent body, containing Minis- ters and officials, which would watch the flow of trade between the two countries endeavour to anticipate difficulties.

It is believed here that an organisation on the lines sug- estert. meeting - alternatively Washington, in London and and maintaining continuous contact, would assist Britain to dollat exports-- expand her the first positive step towards a re-balancing of dollar-sterl ing trade.

In Washington, Sir Stafford Cripps, Chancellor of the Exche- quer, will disclose Britain's plans for reducing her dollar defleierey,

Mr. Devin told reporters: "This is probably one of the most important mission in his tory.

Unless we can. find the right answer to the financial and economic problema, we shall not have laid R Round foundation for the future peace of the world."

With Mr. Bevits and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer are a party of 13 aides and experts, slx from the Treasury and seven from the Forelin Office.

In the party is Sir Edwin Plowden, Chairman of the Gov- ernment's Economic Planning Board. He is also chief planning officer of the Treasury.
