Britain Seeking u. S. Investments
Wants Productive
CoPitoI-Not
Speculative
By Arthur 1. Govshon

LONDON - Britain wants
American public and private
investments to help revive its
groggy internal economy and
spur development of its colonies.
But there is more hope than
conviction apparent among
government officials that a big
scale dollar investment pro-
gram is just around the corner.
The British government laid
down some incentives to attract
American investors but at the
same time it narrowed the field
for such investments.
A British treasury expert said
the kind of dollar capital
Britain is looking for must
be genuinely productive-not
speculative"
A spokesman for the Ameri-
can Chamber Of Commerce in
London interpreted this policy
to mean "the British don't want
the United States to take out q
mortgage on their industry"
All the same, Britain's eco
nomic czar. Sir Stafford Cripps,
has long backed the idea of
American investment in Britain
and her colonies.
Sir Stafford's aides say his
program is based on three
things:
l.. Terms of investment will
be reasonable.
2. Profits will remain con-
vertible into dollars.
3. Compensation will be paid
If property is nationalized.
European cooperation ad-
ministration officials believe
Britain is a good business risk
not only in the United King
dom itself but also throughout
the commonwealth.
Some u. S. Investors
Britain hopes to ease its
chronic dollar shortage not only
by attracting more American
capital here and to its colonies
but also by selling more en-
pire goods in the United States.
Devaluation Of the pound to
$3.50 from $4.03 is calculated to
spur exports through lower
prices. At the same time Brit
ish manufacturers are studying
American markets to determine

needs and to prepare to intro
duce new products as we'll as re-
double efforts to sell more of the
old standbys like textiles.
china and leather goods.
In the investment field, %
American companies have in
vested some $17,000,000 in Brit
ain since the war. Under an
ECA plan. they can be guar
anteed that their profits and, in
some cases. capital can be con-
verted back into dollars. Six of
them have received an ECA con-
vertible profits guarantee. and
IL other guarantees are being
processed.
American Arms which have
sunk dollars In Britain's econ
omy since the war and before
devaluation include:
