Total...... 6,817,947 3,289,216 Allies Purchases in America. Recent Washington› mail advices say:-The long standing business agreement between J.P. Morgan and the Governments of Great Britain and France, under which the Mergan firm handled the bulk of hundreds of millions of dollars of purchases made for the Allies in this country is soon to be replaced in part, if not wholly, by the new international agreement now in process of formation under which all purc chases for the Allies will be made through a commission under Govemmental supervision. The machinery through which the Morgan firm transacted its huge volume of American purchases will stand in part, however, and probably will be utilised by the United States Government. Ex- perts employed by the Morgan firm, it is indicated, will continue to a large extent their activities in purchasing for the Allies bersafter under the direction of the central purchasing agency. The entire staff probably will not- be utilised, but much of the valuable information cbtained by the Morgan firm during the two and a half years it has been acting as purchasing agent for Great Britain and France has already been placed at the dis- posal of the Government, and will be used by the new commiss- ion. Mr. J. P. Morgan spent several hours discussing the situation with the Foreign Minis- ter Mr. Balfour, chief of the Brit- ish delegation, and afterwards with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Mr.Crosby. Mr. Morgan discussed with Mr. Balfour the future relations between the Morgan firm and the British Government. With Mr Crosby Mr. Morgan d.scussed the details of the purchasing commission which will replace the Morgan firm, to a great extent, in making purchases here. As a result of these discussions it developed that the Morgan firm has not only purchased supplies running into many hundreds of mil- lions for Great Britain and France, but has also purchased many million dollars worth for the Governments of Italy and Russia. The "amount of these purchases, the commissions, and other details of the agreement have never been disclosed. Whatever commissionsbare been paid by the Allies in the past will be saved to them in the future, as the Government's plan is to charge no comm ssion for the ervices of the purchasing agency,
