Britain Gains Concessions in Anglo American Talks
The Anglo American talks in Washington edge toward limited concessions for Britain to boost dominion purchases and ease dollar strain. Officials say any relief falls short of a cure, avoiding congressional action on the British loan. The plan targets using pounds in sterling markets and easing US dollar drain, with smaller gains already granted to non self governing colonies. London papers note Britain will press socialist reconstruction while facing US scrutiny of nationalization methods.
