NEW YORK, March 28.—Silence concerning all questions financial sur- rounded Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, as he arrived yesterday for a visit. Interest in the nations’ money marts was heightened by a statement in the London Daily Mail that Mr. Norman is seeking American co-operation for the establishment of an international bank to finance trade with new mar- kets, principally Soviet Russia. But Mr. Norman was uncommuni- cative. “You struck an off day,” he told re- porters. ‘“‘Hope you have better luck next time.” A denial that Mr. Norman had come to America to discuss the International Bank was made by Dr. O. M. W. Sprague of Harvard, who recently e “His coming,” Dr. Sprague said, “has no more significance t the visit to New York of bankers from the South or West, who come here to talk over gen- eral business matters. He has paid an- nual visits to the governor of the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of New York since 1920.” George L. Harrison, governor of the New York Federal Rucr{ove , met the London banker. bt gy Excursions for public school pupils to England and Germany are being gnmoud by the Edinburgh, Scotland, u of Education.
