AID FOR BRITAIN
TO Be PROPOSED
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON. Sept. Is - (R -
United States economic officials
are expected to recommend to Con-
gress that considerable financi-
al assistance be given Britain, but
only after she has outlined in de-
tail how the money will be spent.
Preliminary indications as
Anglo American economic talks
completed their first week here
are:
1. The Americans will insist on
giving Congress a comprehensive
outline of purposes for which the
money would be used.
2. Presumably the money would
be for expenditure only in the Unit
ed States.
3. Changes in British commerce.
al policy, notably notifications of
the empire preference system, con-
trolls over available dollar ex-
change and scaling down of the
SIS, 1000, 100000 debt owed to India,
Egypt and other financial satellites
OF Britain will be strictly insisted
upon even though it may take
many months to put them into ef-
feet.
Considerable emphasis is placed
on the desirability of putting be-
fore Congress utmost detail of Bri-
tain's financial needs so that the
lawmakers. when they are asked
to authorize aid to Britain, will
know exactly what the money
would be spent for.
The increasing prospect is that
American officials favor a l o n
which would not be interest bear
ing but on which the British would
have to repay the principal, though
annual payments would not start
for probably five to ten years.
Meanwhile the British are due
tc get in two or three weeks -
possibly less time - an interim
loan at regular post lend-lease in
terest rates of two and three
eighths per cent, which will pro-
vide them with some millions of
dollars to keep essential 6 o d S
such as food and certain raw ma
terials moving to Britain from this
country.

France Calls on j. ).
And Britain 10 Confer
On Break With Spain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, Dec. 15.-France, anxious
to break with the regime of Gen.
eralissimo Francisco Franco, asked
the United States and Great Britain
today to consult with her on rupture
of relations with the Spanish govern
ment.
All three of Frances major par
tieS-the Communists, the Popular
Republican Movement (MRP) and
the Socialists-have been advocating
a break. There has been no agree
ment, however, among the parties
nor within the cabinet Of President
Charles de Gaulle on recognition of
the Spanish Republican government
in exile, headed by Jose Giral
Pereira.
The official government position
has been to question whether the
Giral group is representative of all
the anti-Franco elements within
Spain. The Communist and Social
ist parties favor Juan Negrin, prime
minister of the last Spanish Repub-
llCdu SOVeTIlIHeIt.
Foreign Office sources made 1t
clear that France would like to break
relations with Franco-but prefer
ably in a joint action with Britain
and the United States. In the mean
time the French government is re-
naming aloof from any official con-
tact with the Giral group in Mexico
1t was known that when Minister
of the Interior Manual Torres Cam
pana of the exiled government at
tempted to see French Information
Minister Andre Marlaux he was re-
fused. The official French attitude
is that members of the Giral gov
ernment can come to France if they
wish, but only as private citizens.
BY the Associated Press.
The State Department confirmed
that the United States has received
a note from the French government
proposing discussion of Anglo-Amer
ican-FTench relations with the
Franco government of Spain.
The department declined to say
what its attitude toward the pro-
posal might be. Nothing will be
done about 1t until Secretary of
State Byrnes returns from Moscow,
spokesman told reporters.
Acheson Sees Negrin, Last
Spanish Republican Chief
By the Associated Press.
Dean Acheson, acting Secretary
Of State, yesterday received Juan
Negrin, last Prime Minister Of
Republican Spain.
A State Department oficial said
the two men talked about Spain,
but that the subject Of the French
note concerning the Franco govern
ment was not discussed.
Negrin asked Mr.. Acheson for an
interview, it was said, and got it.
It was the first time diplomats last
night could recall that a republic of
Negrin's high rank has met with the
State Department's chief.
