Britain Un1uilling To Start Debt Reduction Procedure

the war with imports from It's do- minions, Argentina, Fire, Egypt, h. dia and Malaya-the principal cred- itors. Britain was unable to pay for such goods but credited the &C., counts of these countries with the costs. Thus each of the sterling bloc nations have a sterling balance in London, the liquidation of which poses extremely difficult problems for Britain.
 Balance Obligations
 The American position Is that Britain's creditors should be will- ing to scale down such debts dras- tically and not consider their claims against Britain any greater than those of the United States which furnished goods to Britain free un- der lend-leaSe.
 American officials also feel that Britain should not consider such obligations greater than those tc the United States as Q result oi lend-lease.
 The American- British conference here is moving slowly. Hopes that 1t would be completed by the end of the month have been abandoned and four to six weeks are consid- cred a minimum of time now.
 Another major stumbling block is expected to be the American de- mand that Britain abandon her im- perial preference trading system under which empire points get pref erential tariff rates.

 This was learned today aS the American British economic and fi- nancial conference prepared to hear the second iTlstallment Of British economist Lord Keynes case for $3,- 000000.0 900 to 5000 ,000, 900 of post war aid for Britain. He began his presentation yesterday.
 Scale Debt
 American officials believe the debt should be scaled down dras- tically with the balance refunded over a periad of years.
 A few months back. 1t was learned, the British appeared will- ing to approach their creditors in the sterling bloc with such 6 pro- position. But now that negotiations are underway for some kind Of American assistance, 1t was said, Britian has firmly opposed such Q plan.
 If such a reduction in Britains external debt were accomplished, she would still need assistance but her overall financial position would look much less precarious.
 Britain contracted the debt during

Governor Mayors M Appeal For Action
Petitions Urging Wor Lobor Boord To Act HurriedIy En Route to Washins- ton: CIO Workers Still "Out"

Local CIO leaders today appealed to Governor Raymond T. Baldwin, the mayors of Waterbury, Ansonia, and Torrington, and the state labor department director to urge the Na- tional War Labor to act quickly on the American Brass Go. dispute, which has led to strike of about 1900 workers.
 John Drlscoli, state CIo secre. tary, said the municipal and state leaders will be asked to commuri- cate with the government agency and urge quick action because of the serious effoct on the commun. ity."
 American Brass co officials ear- Her this week disclosed that certain manufacturing operations would have to stop if the strike in Water bury, Ansonia, and Torrington plants is not halted shortly. One spokesman stated that lay-offS, c direct result Of the continuation of the strike, may have to start next week.
 Meanwhile the C1O called meet- ings of the three locals for Sunday, and further action on the compen- satory bonus dispute will be decided @ that time. 1t was reported.
 1ohn MankowSki, who returned nlHA night from Washington where ke had conferred with WLB repre- sentatives, said no back-toswork or- der was issued. MT. Mankowski, 0. I. o. board member, said no indica- ton IS given when the VILE would take action.
 Mfr. Driscoll said communications will be sent to Mayor John 8. Mon- agan, to Mayor Thomas Nelligan of Ansonia, to Mayor William Patton of Torrington, and to William Ennis Of the State Labor department.
 Failure of the WLB to issue c back.to-work order was interpreted by union officials to be an indica- ton that the current strike was not responsible for delaying c decision.
