u. 5. Awaiting Effect
|As British Halt Talks
On World Bank Loan

Collapse of negotiations between
the World Bank and the British
Colonial Development Corp. for a
81, 900, 900 loan was watched here
and in London today for it's pos
sible effect on Britain's efforts to
finance purchase of goods from the
United States.
For the first time in the history
of the 48-nation bank, negotia-
tions for a loan broke down in
this instance before the bank Off
cially decided whether to grant or
refuse the application.
Bank officials last night said
only that the colonial agency's
board expressed themselves as
unable to accept certain of the
banks standard requirements,
especially the nom financial cove
nants, on. the grounds that these
are not reconcilable with the
principles and methods by which
the corporation operates"
Among the most important Of
the four general requirements are
that the borrower keep the bank
informed of goods bought with
loan funds and the progress of
the project. and also permit the
bank to inspect, audit and make
copies of books and records.
Observers said the British
agency might have been unwilling
to give the bank such compre-
hensive supervision or control of
colonial development projects.
The bank explained sometime
ago that the then requested loan
would be used to finance "pur-
chase of equipment from the dol
lar area" an area considered to
include Canada as we'll as the
United States. The equipment, it
was proposed. would be installed
in various development under
takings to be promoted by the
British corporation in the depen-
dent overseas territories of the
United Kingdom"
The Colonial Development
Agency was organized in l948
under Britain's Overseas Develop
ment Act. Formal negotiations
for the loan began in September,
1948, when Lord Tregforne, the
agency head, applied for the
funds to finance the dollar costs
OF establishing an equipment
pool" to serve the agency's Co.
lonial projects.
At that time the agency listed
more than so projects it hoped to
start throughout the world. It
noted also that the proposed loan
was to assist in financing equip
ment needs to the end of 1850.
There have been official signs
that the agency planned to use
the loan to buy some of the goods
from suppliers in the United
States in competition with British
suppliers. In its last annual re-
port it stated that it has had to
take into consideration political,
departmental and local matters"
as we'll as commercial ones in pur-
chasing equipment.
