Liquidation of British

Firms in United States

Jessc

Jones,

WASHINGTON, Apr. 16 (Reuter)--Mr Federal Loan Administrator, announced that a loan of $40,000,- 000 would be granted to Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corpora- tion "in line with the United States Government to require liquidation of British-owned American investments for the pur- pose of providing funds for the purchase of shipping in this country."

Brown and Williamson will apply $15,000,000 to liquidate their domeS- tie indebtedners and will furn over the remainder to the parent company", the British American Tobacco Com- pany, which in turn will hand this British Government to um to the for

purchases of war materials; Mr Jones said that the not proceeds of the loan are estimated to be what the net realisable sum would be to the British owners if these invest ments in the United States were sold outright or if the companies were ficultated.

This is the first instance of aid by the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion in the liquidation of British in-| vestiments.

The B.A.T, retains its ownership of all Brown & Williamson stock which is being pledged with the R.F.C. as

security.
