SUPPORT IN AMERICA

FOR UK PLAN

PLAN ON STERLING BALANCES

New York, April 26.

The Journal of Commerce said today that there is considerable support for the United States supply of dollars to Asian countries for the pur- pose of helping to contain Russia, provided Britain reduces the amount of withdrawals from the blocked Sterling balances. Commenting on the official British proposal that the United States should take over a big share of Britain's economic burden in India, Pakistan and South East Asia, the Journal said that business experts believe that such a scheme must be within the framework of a broad plan which also deals with Western Europe's currency troubles. The Journal added. "Busi- of Ruods to holders of blocked nessmen point out that several Asiatic countries need financial co-operation in the solution, of their problems. However, any taking over of British com. mitments without stipulations as to what Britain bersali should do in turn, would be sharply criticised. "
