Britain Pays War Debt Installment In Silver To U S
Britain announced a 10 million dollar silver payment toward its 15.5 million dollar war debt to the United States. Chancellor Neville Chamberlain said negotiations with the United States would begin in Washington, with Roosevelt’s approval seen as opening progress toward economic rehabilitation. The payment, at 50 cents per fine ounce, reduces the debt claim by about seven million in effect and was welcomed by the American delegation and British officials as a hopeful step.
