Resume Conference On British Plight Solution Is Sought To Dollar Shortage London. July 9 - (UP) U. S. secretary of the treasury John W. Snyder was expected to tell British today that their embargo on further dollar purchases will be interpreted In the United States us an economic boycott. Snyder resumed his search wkn British chancellor of the exchequer Sir Stafford Cripps and Canadian finance minister Doughs Abbo't this morning for a permanent solution to Britain's dollar shortage. The talks, In their second day. are expe< ted to continue this afternoon. Afterwards. Snyder will hold a press conference. He will lunc.'i with prime minister Clement R. Allee tomorrow, then fly to Brussels to continue his European tour. Crlpp's “standstill" order on purchases in America was designed to stem the drain on Britain's dwindling gold and dollar reserves until a more permanent solution can be found It was extended yesterday to Britain's colonies and next week may be enlarged by the commonwealth finance ministers' conference to include the entire British empire. The first major repercussions will come later this month, when Britain is expected to cut its purchases of American tobacco. Thenhad been an informal committment by the British to buy a certain amount of tobacco through 1950, and American tobacco farmers are not going to like the projected reductions. Britain is bound by the terms of the original Anglo-American loan agreement and by the Marshall plan not to discriminate against the purchase of American goods. But the United States has turned the other way In the past when Britain has found it necessary to trim its dollar orders. Bill Crist Taken To Irene Byron Sanitarium Berne. July 9 — A. D.
