Stettinius Says U. S. And Britain Agree Washington. Jan. 4.— (AI1) Sec- j rotary Stettinius declared today that ' the United States and Great Britain are in basic agreement on aiding Italy, but are still worrying on how j to go about it. Bringing Anglo-.American-Italian policy up to date from the time last September, when President Roose velt and Prime Minister Churchill enunciated a policy of assistance to the co-belligerent countries, Stet tinius issued a statement at his news conference, which said: "A series of discussions subse quently has taken place between British and American officials con cerning the methods of implement ing the joint policy set forth above. "There have been no major dn ierences between the British and ourselves in these discussions, and they have resulted in substantial agreement between the two govern ments." "It is perfectly clear that the United States and the United King dom governments are in basic agree ment, and they desire to provide as sistance to enatfle the Italians to start rebuilding their economic lite and furnish their maximum contri bution to the war effort."
