U.S. PARTNERSHIP WITH BRITAIN
LORD MILVERTON’S CRITICISM LONDON, Oct. 20. Lord Milverton, a former governor of five British colonies, today urged that the British Commonwealth should become an “equal partner with the United States, not a satellite shackled to the dollar, and the recipient of charitable gifts.” He told the Manchester Luncheon Club: “America treats the world as a vast supply base for the raw materials it needs, and is hostile to the Empire. We must build the Commonwealth into a trading area sufficiently selfcontained to allow convertibility with the dollar.”
Britain should not be a member of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, he said.
