I Devaluation Has
Aided Britain
LONDON, (/P)—Last autumn’s
drastic devaluation of the pound
sterling has turned out better
than expected, Sir Stafford Cripps
told the House of Commons yes
terday.
Since devaluation—which took
place exactly seven months ago
yesterday—Britain has “made a
satisfactory beginning to the re
covery of our gold and dollar re
serves,” Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Cripss said in his annu
al budget message.
“Since September our exports
have recovered sharply,” he said,
with indications*1 that in the first
three months of this year the vol
ume of foreign sales was 10 per i
cent above the same period of
1949.
Britain’s reserves of gold and
dollars rose by $296,000,000 in the
first quarter of this year to a total
of $1,984,000,000—almost to the
safe minimum of $2,000,000,000.

proprietor, has just turned out the
press’ fortieth book.
Flood Control Bill
Now In Conference
- - ■
<(/P) Spacial Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (/P)—It’s now
up to a Senate-House conference
committee to decide the exact to
tal of a bill which will add mil
lions to the federal government’s
authorized program of flood con
trol and rivers and harbors pro
jects.
As passed by the Senate Mon
day night, by a vote of 53 to 19,
the bill carried a total slightly
under $1,840,000,000.
When the House passed the bill
nearly a year ago it carried ap
proximately $1,363,000,000.
Anticipating that the House
might be reluctant to go along on .
the $476,000,000 the Senate added j
to the bill, chairman Chavez (D.-1
N. M.> of the Senate public works j
committee, who handled the bill, |
got the Senate to ask a confer
ence.
This means the bill will go di
rectly to a conference committee
which will work out the differ
ences.
The bill carries no actual ap
propriations. It merely authorizes
this and future Congresses to
make appropriations for the pro
jects involved.
