LONDON, Aug. 16. Winston

of "free enterprise" to the British
people tonight as an alternative

which he said would lead to ma

In political broadcast from

schedule in reply to Prime Minister

cooperation in Britain's economic
crisis.

legislation passed this week giving
the Attlee administration wide pow

national resources in the economic
battle Mr.. Churchill declared:

will be the first result, hunger the
second, and the dispersal or death
of large proportion of our popula-

THE choice which lies before the
British nation is between a system
of competitive selection and sys-

Government officials said yes
terday the United States has de-
cided to oppose an attempt by
Britain to revamp the 43-nation
World Monetary Fund to permit
her to tap this vast treasury.
These officials, who asked not to
be quoted by name, talked to re-
porter on the eve of conferences
which will determine whether the
United States will help Britain
weather her dollar crisis by easing
terms of the s3,750, 100000 British
loan agreement
(The British economic mission

ference this week, left London

ton, London dispatches reported.)
The reported American decision
in effect, would close the door to ar
important source of dollar help fol
the British.
Other Nations May Follow U. s.
The officials said they believe II
unlikely that, the other Al member
governments in the $500, 900 ,00l
fund would approve the British re-
quest in the face of the opposing
American stand.

vigorous Russian opposition and
approved a draft agreement
linking the International Bank

ment with the U. N. as a special
lied agency.
Despite Soviet charges that the
agreement violated the D. N. Char

of 13 to 3 an American proposal to
accept the agreement and to recon-
mend its approval by the General
Assembly.
Only Russia, White Russia and
Norway voted against the U. N.
resolution. Czechoslovakia and New
Zealand abstained.
Earlier Russia was defeated, IA
to 8, when she moved formally to
send the agreement back to the
Negotiating Committee for revision
The Council also rejected a Norwe-
gian proposal to defer action until
specific directives were laid down by
the General Assembly.
