ECONOMIC CRISIS IN BRITAIN Drastic Cuts In Imports To Save Dollars
Conference Of "Big Five"
London, July 31,
A saving of £70,000,000 in six months through im- mediate import cuts is being discussed in poli- tical circles today as one of the steps the Cabi- net is planning to bring Britain out of her economic crisis. Further cuts are expected for October, unless the situation has shown a de- finite improvement by then.
Britain is importing about £150,000,000 worth of goods monthly and exporting about £93,000,- 000 worth. Most of the deficit is being met by drawings from the American loan.
