Anglo American talks eyed to ease British crisis
Washington officials indicate high level talks between British and American officials may occur in six to eight weeks to craft long range solutions to Britain's dollar shortage. Secretary of State Acheson may participate, following a London meeting of Commonwealth officials. Hoffmann estimated Britain may cut U S goods purchases by 450 million dollars next year, from 1.6 billion. Publicly, US officials cite the dollar shortage as solvable without threatening European recovery, while privately concern grows over trade, dollars, and political repercussions, with Soviet propaganda aiming to exploit the crisis.
