Commission warns on neutral loan plan in world finance
Financiers report the Washington commission wary of a loan backed by British and French government bonds arguing it would appear nonneutral. Officials weigh if U S banks could absorb such a loan and note the plan could reshape global finance. If blocked, fears of a steep decline in U S exports and a flood of foreign goods followed by dwindling American wheat and other products are voiced. The commission stresses its task is to adjust exchange rates, not to finance munitions.
