The turn is the Ufth annual installnMt of friticlpal and interest on tin loan made by the U.S. to Britain in 1946. The IMS loan, of *4.372 million. ^ repayable, with I per eent in terest, in fifty equal, annual pay ments of $138 million. Of the five payments made so far; amounting to $890 million, $288 million has been principal and $424 million interest. The major part of the 1948 loan Was to cover essential purchases by Britain from the United States. Britain still has a serious "dollar gap," since she buys more from the U.S. than she sells in return. She has tried to close this gap by increasing exports to the U.S. These exports rose to about $580 million in 1939. But in the same period imports from the U.S. also rose and amounted to about $880 million. Today Britain also pays $38 mil lion to Canada, the principal and interest on a loan of $1,183 million made in 1946 under the same con ditions as the U.S. loan.
