Reds Ready To Resume Loan Talks
The Soviet Union said it is ready at any time to resume lend lease discussions with the United States to normalize economic relations. The move follows a collapse eight days earlier when Washington declined to link a large loan and broader trade deal to settlement. The embassy noted Premier Khrushchev and President Eisenhower discussed the matter at Camp David, seeking removal of discriminatory trade restrictions and unrestricted U.S. trade with the USSR. The Soviets charged the United States offered Britain and others better terms, including a loan, than those granted to the Soviet Union to settle lend-lease accounts.
