Answering a supplementary ques- tion suggesting that terms of re- ference of foreign transactions of the Advisory Committee recently set up to give guidance on foreign lending should be made flexible, Mr. Chamberlain said he thought the terms were very flexible. The embargo on lending to foreign countries did not apply where loans had a direct influence on incrèas- ing Britian, Export Trade, he said.--
