London, May 27..
Treasury officials in London today categorically denied that Britain is making any move to postpone the worldwide convertibility of sterling by, at the latest, July 15. Britain has already granted convertibility to all her principal suppliers-Argentine as long ago as last September, Canada at the begin- ning of this year and several other countries in February. By the American loan agree- ment she is committed to grant it to all coun- tries by July 15. She is preparing to do it and intends keeping to it.
