My purpose today is to provide what might be termed a progress report on what is happening--and what we are attempting to accomplish--in the area of financial management in the United States. In touching on several aspects of this subject, I hope to provide a basis for dialogue over the next two days to which I look forward, recalling the many profitable discussions which I have had on a variety of subjects over the years both here and in Washington. My first visit to Ottawa took place in 1941. I came .here to learn what I could and to compare U.S. and Canadian experience in controlling prices and in dealing with commodity shortages--topics which are high on the agenda of both our governments today. From officials like Arnold Heeney and Donald Gordon, I learned much and obtained my first insight and admiration for the calibre of the Canadian public service. I-have learned much from my friends in Canada since that time and know that I shall go home from this meeting with new insights which will serve me well. One of the anecdotes about Canada which we, south of the border, enjoy, concerns an American couple who weme crossing this country for the first time in one of your splendid trains--splendid by our standards,.anyway.
