Commonwealth offers £125 million loan package after deadlock
A private meeting with Prime Minister Menzies and Treasurer Fadden failed to break the impasse over Commonwealth aid to states. The latest plan provides up to £125 million for works programmes plus £10 million from this year’s tarnover for early 1952-53 spending, with further loans from next year’s fall in the market. States press for broader housing and infrastructure spending, while the Commonwealth signals it may push toward a final decision later.
