CEYLON NOW ABLE TO DRAW MORE FROM STERLING BALANCES

London, August 22,

Ceylon will be able to draw twice as much as last year, from her starling balances under the re- nowed storling balance agreement with Bri- tain, which was published today.

The agreement covers the 12 months ending June 30, 1950. It will enable Ceylon to draw £7,000,000 instead of £3,500,000 in the preceding 12 months.

The extra sum will be necessary because of the fall both in the export prices of Ceylon commodi- ties mainly rubber and tea and in the demand for them, officials here stated.
