Foreign loan plan dropped in Washington policy shift
Washington reports indicate leaders agreed to remove a 600 million dollar foreign loan provision from the president’s lending program legislation. Critics’ opposition to Export-Import funds was to be eased by limiting bank loans to American exporters and avoiding loans to foreign governments. Senator Borah signaled willingness to back the plan if funds go to U.S. exporters only. Senate debate on neutrality law and the foreign policy approach continues as the Foreign Relations Committee prepares to begin tomorrow.
