BRITAIN. TO LOAN MEAT TO UNITED STATES

London, Oct 8-(UP) Food Ministry spokesman anid to-day that the British Government was pre- pared to lend. United States' armed forces in Europe 20,000,000 pounds of meut to offset the present emergency providing certain con-. ditions now under review, are agreed upon.

It was understood here that the British food mission in Washington had asked the Department of Agri- culture for assurances that the loan- ed meat would be replaced within a short period in order to prevent any deprivation of the strictly rationed British public. The Washington negotiations are expected to conclude to-day or to-morrow.
