BRITAIN FREES STERLING TODAY'S RACING
Restrictions Relaxed Outside Dollar And Sterling Areas
EXPORT TRADE
ΤΟ
BENEFIT
London, Mar. 19.
The Bank of England tonight unified nearly all the various types of sterling held by people living outside the dollar and sterling areas, and is allowing all such sterling to be used for any pur- pose, capital account, or current account.
The only exceptions are the so-called blocked accounts (sterling resulting from legacies and matured bonds) and, for the time being, Persia, Turkey and Hungary.
Turkey's temporary exclusion from the new latitude for sterling is due to a technicality in the present payments agreement between the British and Turkish Governments. It can be smoothed out as soon as British and Turkish officials get round to the necessary negotiations. The inclu- sion of Hungary and Persia must await resump- tion of relations in matters riore important than foreign exchange.

Dulles Explains US Policy
Of Retaliation
Washington, Mar. 19.
Mr John Foster Dulles said today the United States would consult its Allles on ways of apply- ing the policy of "instant and massive retaliation against aggression."
The Secretary of State, appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, defended the Eisenhower Administration's "new look" de- fence policy of "depending primarily upon a great capacity to retaliate instantly by means and at places of our choosing."
Senator Alexander Smith (Re- publican) had referred to reports of fears among the United States allies that this new pokey might mean they would not be con- sulled before the United States launched a massive retaliatory attack upon an aggressor.
Mr Dulles said that in referring to "means and at places of our choosing" the new policy meant it would be of the choosing of the free world and not just America.
