Washington, Jan. 15. The State Department, forecast yesterday that Britain will remain on food, clothing and petrol rationing during and after the com- pletion of the European recovery programinie In June, 1952.
Making public new data on the Marshall Plan, the State Department said that Britain's gold and dollar resources, now at about $2,000,000,000, will go down to one half of that by the end of 1948, and that large dollar deficits will con- tinue for several years thereafter.
