France, Britain Bicker Over Trade Policies PARIS, Dec. 11 -4 A)- France bluntly blamed Britain tonight for one of the snags on which Euro pean recovery planning is stuck. , A Foreign Office statement said Britain is trying to dominate west ern European trading "in order to make the Pound Sterling a rare money." In London, a Treasury spokes man expressed surprise at the Franch statement and declined to comment except to say it "will re ceive careful consideration." Britain, the French statement said, presented her plan for co operation with the European Re covery Program (ERP) under which she "would reduce nearly to nothing her purchases in west ern Europe and would, on the con trary, enormously increase her ex ports." The French said under the plan Britain "would buy, for ex.nple, only $28,000,000 worth of equip ment and products from western Europe, while selling $430,000,000 worth." The statement denied British as sertions that one of the things that is slowing up ERP planning is the fact that France wants to sell too many luxury goods.
