The “New York Times” Washington correspondent states that the United States and Britain have made substantial progress toward agreement, on broad economic post-war plans._ The. correspondent states that negotiations are going on in London to reach a master agreement on the settlement of Lend-Lease obligations and says it is understood that the State Department has asked Britain to co-operate after the war in the removal- of restrictions on free trade, and to give all nations fair access to raw materials controlled by Britain. 'The “New York Times” says this is interpreted as meaning that the United States is asking Britain to reconsider the Ottawa agreements system. The newspaper says something on these lines is expected to be made public by both Governments about two months hence in the form of a declaration of intentions. _
