GOODS FROM EUROPE"

Washington, July 25. Mr John Snyder, United States Secretary of the Treasury, who returned here today from a tour of Europe, said at a press conference that if. Americans were to, sell their products in Europe, they must also buy European goods to create a dollar exchange.

Mr Snyder would not say what proposals were made during his London talks on Britain's dollar problem with Sir Stafford Cripps, British Chan- cellor of the Exchequer,

Ile stressed, however, "the Importance of the role of the International Monetary Fund as the appropriate forum for the discussion of exchange rates."
