Britain. II. S. To
Make Big Loan
To Yugoslavia
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
There has been word from Lon-
don that the United States and Bri-
tain are planning to provide Com-
munist Yugoslavia with about 300
million dollars worth of economic
aid and credits. British informants
say the broad purpose is to enable
President Tito's government to
withstand Russia's current diplo-
matic and economic squeeze.
As a punishment for Yugoslavia's
Independent stand, the Russians
last spring suspended a promised
I economic loan of 280 million dollars,
i This set back Yugoslavia's develop-
ment plans, especially for stepping
i up agricultural production.
Britain is expected to announce
the kind and scale of it* help when
