Inspiring Churchill Speech: Pulling In The Belt
Ottawa, Jan. 14.
The British Prime Minister, Mr Winston Chur- chill, in the first speech of his current visit to North America, tonight deplored the fact that, six years after the war, "Peace does not sit untroubled in her vineyard."
In a major address at a State banquet given by the Canadian government at the end of Mr Churchill's Canadian visit, the Prime Minister pledged that his people would pull in their belts to try to restore Britain to solvency,

The Sterling Area Crisis
CONFERENCE of the Finance
A Ministers of the British Common-
wealth-which may prove the most important meeting of Empire states- men since the war-opens in London today. The Ministers, faced with a Sterling Area financial crisis officially described as the gravest ever, will have a thorny road to travel and difficult decisions to make. The Commonwealth monetary area is in deficit all round the world. The loss in Britain's gold and dollar reserves has been proceeding in the last few months at the greatest rate since the War: the United Kingdom's overall balance of payments. deficit in 1951 was on estimated $400 million. These are grim facts and there is little on the bright side apart from the strengthening of Sterling, and the rumoured decision of the United States to resume purchases of Malayan tin for her stockpile. Whatever action is decided by the Commonwealth states- men (and the crisis is of such a gravity that far-reaching decisions will have to be taken at the London conference) the
United Kingdom will bear the brunt of the necessary sacrifices, though any solution proposed by the Ministers will require the combined efforts of all Sterling Area members and sacrifices will be demanded of all of them. One decision may be the immediate drastic curtailment of the import programme from non-Sterling countries and a long- term policy of reviving the system by which the United Kingdom's own dollar deficit is made good out of its surplus with dollar-earning members such as Malaya and Ceylon. The United Kingdom will have to expand still further its exports to dollar countries and the Sterling. Area, and manifest- difficulties in the way of carrying out such a programme are the increasing foreign competition. (notably from Germany and Japan), the needs of Britain's defence programme and the rise in prices. The difficulties are many and formidable but they must be surmounted if the Sterling Area, in a valuable form, is to survive.
