S. and British officials negotiated today on a multi-million dollar loan which Great Britain will use to finance purchases of U. S. goods, primarily oil. The loan would be made by the government's Export-Import Bank. How much the British want to borrow has not been dis closed, but speculation , centers on an amount between S200 mil-, lion and S500 million. Assurances Told British Chancellor of the Ex chequer Harold MacMillan told Parliament last week he had U.S. assurances that a loan would be available promptly if requested. The British government is pre pared to put up the U. S. dollar securities it owns, mostly in busi ness stocks and bonds, as collat eral on the loan.- Britain currently is in a se rious financial plight as a result of the closing of the Suez Canal and the disruption of oil pipe line operations in the Middle East. Her reserves of gold and U. S. dollars have slipped below the critical 52 billion level. Might Weaken Valua The British feel the slippage stems not so much from their na tion's sudden emergency ex penses as from fears that the economic consequences of the Suez crisis might weaken the value of the British pound ster ling currency. When people fear for the val ue of money they hold, they sell it for other currencies. In the case of sterling and dollars, the British government buys the sterling to keep the value rea sonably stable. If her gold and dollar re sources were drained away, Brit ain no longer would be able to prop up the value of sterling. So she is trying to discourage the drain by mobilizing a large pile of dollars and demonstrat ing a solid position. Dr. Haines to Attend J Association Meeting Ashland Dr. Francis D.
