European Purchases May Decline Further
Washington reports that European buys of American goods plunged 16 percent in June and may fall further due to Anglo American dollar conference concessions. England is the sole major European nation to increase its US dollar purchases in June, with British orders totaling 89.6 million, up 5.3 million from May, while most other nations cut. Officials note Britain plans a 500 million cut in imports for the year and may seek to shift trade with the Dominions, potentially reducing US exports further.
