British PM seeks debt relief to ease Suez pressure
Macmillan announced Britain will defer a portion of interest payments to the United States and Canada to ease pressure from the Suez crisis. He said savings would fund emergency oil shipments from the United States and that the fall in Britain’s gold and dollar reserves deepened. He outlined plans to relocate 1.3 billion dollars to the IMF and possibly sell some dollar assets, while boosting gasoline and customs duties to raise prices. He asked the U.S. to waive the 70.38 million cross payment due December 31 on the 3.75 billion postwar loan, with Washington prepared to seek congressional approval.
