(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

London, June 9.

The Commonwealth Prime Ministers have decided to press ahead with plans for economic development with greater vigour than ever.

This is Stage One in their “interim policy" for the period while the United States is making up its mind whether to support the Common- wealth plan for convertible currencies and multilateral world trade.

This new policy was agreed upon today by the Commonwealth Prime Ministers in London. After their talks they said they would adhere to the long-term objectives and lines of policy laid down at their December conference. Meanwhile, they added, it was essential to take advantage of the improved outlook in the sterling aren by continuing to strengthen the economy of each of the countries concerned.
