BRETTON WOODS AGREEMENT
CLEAVAGE IN EMPIRE 1 EFFECTS OF AMERICAN LOAN (Rec. 11.50 a.m.)* LONDON, Oct. 17.

Britain was already a member of the Bretton Woods International Fund, and there is therefore on this basis ol financial issue a cleavage in the Empire.

Britain, who is for the loan which daily grows less valuable as American prices soar, has divided herself from New Zealand and Australia.
