Britain Relaxes Trade Controls With Communists
Britain eased trade limits on the Soviet Union and Communist European satellites. Orders totaling 120 million dollars already flowed in, with Soviet bids to buy 28 million dollars of steel rolling plants under study. The policy cut the embargoed list from about 400 to 250 items, keeping strategic items banned. Western experts caution of exchange limitations and bloc shortages, noting East European trade rose from 738 to 789 million dollars from 1952 to 1953 while European imports from the bloc dipped from 990 to 918 million.
