I told him we had sold as many of the American guns in 1941 as we had sold Belgian made guns in any previous that the same held true with American made guns as Belgian in there is a good business year you can sell more guns than can for uS-. made year, and that when be produced I would say that the main point he made in our conversation was the necessity of close cooperation between us and F.Ne in order to give them a chance to better plan production and us a chance to correct defects and other difficulties before they are allowed to pile up. He also mentioned that air travel had shortened distances to such an extent that he felt a personal contact between our Company and his after the War would be much easier and would probably be a very good thing. 3 I saw him off on the train at the opportunity of meeting with him. correspond with someone you have met With best six pem. and was very gladto have It is usually much easier to than with a complete stranger. regards, Sincerely, DBE: MM PLEASE ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO THE COMPANY, ST.
