British Problems Expected
Back In Washington Soon
Washington. Feb. 20 U.R
The British and their dollar
problems will be back in Wash
ington before many more
months.
This may cost the United
States more than last fall's round
of dollar talks. At that time, the
United States, Canada and Great
Britain attacked "fringe" issues.
The "fringe" program, plus de
valuation of the pound sterling,
has helped ease Britain's dollar
shortage but not enough. Both
American and British sources
agree on that. They also agree
that more dollar talks will be
needed urgently as soon as do
mestic politics in Britain and
the United States allow.
Must Await Vote
British officials can not act
until after the British vote
Thursday, and a new government
either laborite or conserva
tive is formed. Then American
officials will start getting skit
tish because of this fall's con
gressional elections.
One reason is that the British
may want another loan
$2 billion to 54 billion. Of the
British may seek direct aid for
the sterling idea a kind of Mar
shall plan under some other
name.
The British and Americans
will have to wrestle with Brit
ain's biggest single dollar prob
lem the so-called "sterling bal
ances." Great Britain now owes
commonwealth countries about
$9 billion worth of devalued
fiounds for services received dur
ng the war.
These countries have been us
ing the sterling balances to buy
goods that Britain otherwise
might sell for cash.
Want To Relieve Drain
The British, when they come
to Washington, will want the
United States to do something to
relieve this drain on British pro
duction. They will argue that
they cannot cut off the flow of
their goods to India, for instance,
without causing a drop in the
standard of living there and in
viting communists to take over.
British exports to the United
States spurted after the pound
was devalued in September.
Britain also has improved its
dollar reserves, but they still are
about 15 per cent below what
the British call a "safe" level.
And the effects of devaluation's
shot-in-the-arm are wearing off.
Britain's economy has been
helped by last fall's attack on
"fringe' economic problems. This
is what was agreed and what
was done:
Tried To Settle II
Petroleum The United States,
Canada and Great Britain agreed
that Britain's purchases of petro-
was a drain on dollars. Britain
tried to settle it unilaterally by
cutting the entire sterling area's
purchases of "dollar" oil by
about 30 per cent this year.
American oil companies have
protested, but Britain put the
plan in effect anyway last
Wednesday.
Stockpiling The United
States promised to buy more tin
and rubber for strategic stock
piling, thus pumping dollars in
to the sterling area. The United
States has made purchases, but
an American British - Malayan
conference on a long-term con
tract for Malayan tin broke up
in failure last week.
Study Promised
Tariffs The United States
promised to study possible tariff
cuts. Since then, congress has
authorized negotiations for tar
iff reductions. The United States
will join a number of other
countries in a tariff conference
in Europe this summer.
Customs American officials
say they have done much to meet
Britain's complaints that United
States customs procedures dis
couraged British sales here.
Foreign Investments The
United States is trying to encour
age American investments
abroad, but very few dollars
have gone out.
Greater European Trade The
ECA demanded and obtained
from many ECA countries agree
ments to cut their quotas on im
ports. This was intended to en
courage lntra-European trade
and help put western Europe
back on its economic feet faster.

Doernbecher Head
Will Stay In Office
Portland. Ore., Feb. 20 (U.R)
Harry Green, president of Doern
becher Manufacturing company,
today said he would continue to
run the company unless the
stockholders or courts remove
him.
The firm's board of directors
Saturday announced Green
would be replaced by E. S.
Beach. But Green declared the
three-man board did not have the
power to remove him. He termed
announcements of Beach's ap
appointment "untruthful and un
necessary." In response to Green's refusal
to accept the board's decision,
Beach said there was no need
to add anything to the board's
earlier announcement.
The Doernbecher furniture
factory employs 700 men and
women. Its doors were closed
without explanation last Thurs-
