Today And Tomorrow By WALTER LIPPMANN Since last month when Mr. Eugene Meyer, the first president of the World Bank, resigned, the post has been offered to three men. All three have declined. In the case of Mr. Graham Towers, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, the Canadian government is under stood to have taken the view that because the United States is mak ing much the largest subscription and because the bonds of the bank must be sold principally to Ameri cans, the president should be an American. The post has also been offered to Mr. Allan Sproul, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and to Mr. John J. McCloy, who was the As sistant Secretary of War under Mr. Stimson. i After careful consideration both Mr. Sproul and Mr. McCloy re fused, and the bank, which means so much to the whole world, is in an embarrassing position.
