Highlights of the News
T.T.S. $3,750,.000;000 Loan
The .$3,750,000,000 loan to Britain
bill, accorded Senate approval after
lengthy debate and defeat of nu-
merous crippling amendments,
will be considered almost immedi-
ately by a House of Representa-
tives committee and then referred
to that chamber for open debate.
The loan agreement, reached last
December after long negotiations
led for the British by the late Lord
Keynes, ,,provides for a $3,750,000,-
000 loan repayable in 50 years with
interest at two per cent.
In any year that Britain suffers
circumstances which make interest
payment difficult or. impossible: the
interest may he waived and can-
celled.
A King In Exile
Victor Emmanuel settled down
to a life of exile in Egypt last week
after a reign of nearly 46 years as -
king of Italy, thus joining- the
•growing ranks., of Europe's hone
less royalty.
The weary little man and his
wife, the former Queen Elena,
were greeted by Egypts King
Farouk when they debarked at
Alexandria from an Italian cruiser.
The Italian cabinet approved the
assumption of the throne by Crown
Prince Humbert, but specified his
-powers would extend only until
June 2. On that day the Italian
people will decide whether to . con-
tinue the monarchy.
Setback at Simla
The British Cabinet mission's
forthcoming statement on its con-
ferences with Moslem and Hindu
representatives at Simla will con-
tain a declaration on Indian inde-
pendence, probably indicating the
approximate date by which India
will become completely independ-
ent.
The British cabinet mission, ad-
mitting failure of an eight-day
conference with Moslem and
Hindu leaders on independence for
India, made it plain it still has
Hopes of solving the problem:
The conference ended in com-
plete breakdown, dealing a severe
blow to the (topes of those who
had expected a quick transition
from British control to Indian self-
government.
No reason for collapse of the
negotiations was given.
The three British cabinet minis-
ters had hoped to help India draft
a constitution.
Canada's Loan to U.K.
At Ottawa the Canadian Senate
approved a hill providing for a
$1,250,000,000 loan to the United
Kingdom. The bill now awaits
royal assent.
Canadian Strike Threat
The threat of nation-wide strike
action next month against every
major Canadian industry -unless
union wage and hour demands are
granted, emerged as the keynote of
a conference of the National Wage
Board Co-ordinating Committee of
the Canadian Congress of Labor,
held in Toronto.
The committee endorsed the de-
cision of the International Wood-
workers of America, B.C., to take
strike action on May 15, and the
decision of the United Rubber
Workers of America, CID -CCL,
who have set May 27 as the dead-
line for strike action unless they
receive an "adequate wage and
hour settlement by that time."
