British and U. S. Differ
On 3 Major Policies
Despite Harmony Aim
By Sigrid Arne
As&ociatod Pr**s Staff Writer
Sir Oliver Ffanks, the new Brit
ish ambassador here, tells a little
story:
A young man was taking his
exams for a job in the British For
eign office. He was asked “what
are the three most important things
in the world?”
“God, he wrote, “love and Anglo
American relations."
He got the job—and the story got1
a laugh when Sir Oliver told it
here. But behind the humor is a:
very real situation.
For the British and Americans
who are trying to tug a peace into
shape, Russia is only of second im
portance for the loag pull.
Their great worry is to keep Amer
icans and British pulling together
in harness, to keep down irritations
i among the English-speaking popu
j lations and if possible to prevent
j them.
Three Major Worries.
They have three major worries
right now: The future of Palestine,
the future of the sterling bloc, the
future of world trade. They have
little doubt that the differences can i
j be solved, but some of them are
! taking long, long talks.
1. Palestine.
Secretary of State Marshall first
proposed that Palestine be divided
between Jew.- and Arabs. When
Jewish-Arab warfare broke out the I
United States suggested United'
Nations supervision of the area. The
idea was coolly received in the UN,
and the United States State De
partment is sticking to its belief
| that the Jews must have a home
land. The United States has recog
nized the new Jewish state of Israel
Gen. Marshall never stated any
basic reason for the American be
lief in a Jewish state. But American
Jews have been determined such a
state should exist. Some 6,000,000 of
their religion were killed in Europe
during World War II.
Oppose “Vacuum.”
At first the British opposed the
idea, but now they think that Israel
j is a fact which can't be turned back.
Their emphasis now is on the exact
I borders of the Jewish state and on
I who controls the Arabian part of
j Palestine. They favor King Abdul
' lah of Transjordan for the job.
Their spokesmen here say “no
vacuum can be permitted to exist’’
in the non-Jewish part of Palestine
I because of the infiltration of Com
munism through the whole Middle
East.
In that area the British are wor
ried about many things—about Com
j munism, about Middle East oil, about j
their investments in the area and
about keeping the Moslems of the;
j Middle East friendly to the western
j democracies.
| There are sign the United States |
is also interested in some compro
i mise that will keep the Arab coun- 1

Negotiators say the British and
Americans are “moving closer to
gether” for their mutual security.
Sterling Bloc an Issue.
2. The sterling bloc—
This is a money argument.
Under the sterling bloc arrange
ment the Bank of England decides
who can spend the American dollars
that come into any part of the Brit
ish Commonwealth (except Canada)
and into Ireland, Iraq, and Burma.
Membership in the bloc is voluntary.
Canada doesn’t belong. Egypt did
but withdrew.
The arrangement sounds arbitrary,
but British spokesmen say the bank
often awards dollars from pert of
the bloc to another part which for
the time being needs help. The
central aim is to keep the whol^
bloc on an even keel for military
security reasons.
American exporters have never
liked the ideal. They contend that
it makes it easier for bloc members,
to buy from each other than to
hunt new markets in, for example,
the United States.
World Trade Real Worry.
The United States Government
has not insisted on a break-up of
the sterling bloc, but two years ago
it wrote the British loan a proviso
whereby the British had to swap
their money on demand for Ameri
can dollars, beginning last July.
The British did. ■ But so many na
tions demanded dollars for what
they sold the British that shortly
the British themselves were short
of dollars. They had to stop. The
American Government gave its
blessing.
The British argue that the en-!
tire sterling bloc only has the sum
total of dollars it earns by selling
in the United States and that in

3. World trade—
This is the real worry. Both Brit
ish and American policy-makers
forsee years ahead when British and
American sellers will be battling for
the same sales in a third nation.
British here argue that Britain
(packed with 48,000,000 people) must:
sell its manufactured goods abroad
to buy the food it can’t raise at
home. They argue that Americans;
raise their own food and that there
fore sales abroad are not a matter,
of life and death for the United
States but only a matter of more
profits.

real fun out of your breathing? See

efficient heating and ventilating
system ever built into a motor car.
