For what it is worth, I found this in the library resources. Obviously Robert Dimand would be the right source.

Keynes’s Influence on Fisher
While Keynes carefully studied Fisher’s monetary economics, Fisher’s
references to Keynes reveal no comparable scrutiny. In The Money Zllusion,
Fisher cited Keynes as proposing a managed currency rather than
varying the gold weight of the currency (1928, 169), and he quoted a
New Republic article by Keynes on the objects of currency reform (223).
Keynes was not among the seventy-two people thanked by Fisher for
comments on a mimeographed draft of the book. Fisher’s After Reflation,
What? (1933a) opened with two quotations, each dated 3 July 1933,
in lieu of a dedication: President Roosevelt’s radiogram to the London
Economic Conference that “the United States of America seeks the kind
of dollar which a generation hence will have the same purchasing power
and debt-paying power as the dollar we hope to attain in the near future”
and Keynes’s comment that “Mr. Roosevelt . . . is magnificently right.”

I think I am right in thinking that Keynes said “Mr Roosevelt is Magnificently Right!” around the time Roosevelt refused to attend the 1933 London Economic Conference. But I cannot find the reference. Could someone please help?

Subject: Re: [SHOE] R: [SHOE] allusion to Pareto
These comments to me appear way off base. At the time Auden was writing, he was politically engaged as an anti-fascist having a most recent passion about the Spanish Civil War. Pareto would not have been an economist to him, but rather two other things: first, an excuse for governments' doing nothing in the Depression (a la the Harvard Pareto Circle) and second as Mussolini's house sociologist and fascist apologist. The poem's quoted lines suggest that the poem's speaker saw the then present time valuing Pareto over Plato: this hardly represents mankind's triumphant evolution. And to make the ironic point clearer, the poem's speaker employs Pareto's "acquaintance" and Plato's "intimate".

On the other hand, Pareto's works are full of references to
literature, poems, and humanities in general.
