Highlights of the News U.S. $3,750,000,000 Loan The $3,700,000,000 loan to Britain bill, accorded Senate approval after lengthy debate and defeat of nu- merous crippling amendments, will be considered almost immedi- ately by a House of Representa- tives committee and then referred to that cliamber for open debate. The loan agreement, reached last December after long negotiations led for the British by the late Lord Keynes, provides for a $3,750,000,- 000 loan repayable in 50 years with interest at two per cent. In any year that Britain suffers circumstances which make interest payment difficult or impossible the interest may be waived and can- celled. A King In Exile Victor Emmanuel settled down to a life of exile in Egypt last week after a reign of nearly 46 years as king of Italy, thus joining the growing ranks of Europe's home- less royalty. The weary little man and his wife, the former Queen Elena, were greeted by Egypt's Kint; Farouk when they debarked at Alexandria from an Italian cruiser. The Italian cabinet approved the assumption of the throne by Crown Prince Humbert, but specified his powers would extend only until June 2. On that day the Italian people will decide whether to con- tinue the monarchy. Setback at Simla The British Cabinet mission's forthcoming statement on its con- ferences with Moslem and Hindu representatives at Simla will con- tain a declaration on Indian inde- pendence, probably indicating the approximate date by which India will become completely independ- ent. The British cabinet mission, ad- mitting failure of/ an eight-day conference with Moslem and Hindu leaders on independence for India, made it plain it still has hopes of solving the problem. The conference ended in com- plete breakdown, dealing a severe blow to tlie hopes of those who had expected a quick transition from British control to Indian self- government. No reason for collapse of the negotiations was given. The three British cabinet minis- ters had hoped to help India draft a constitution. Canada's Loan to U.K. At Ottawa the Canadian Senate approved a bill providing for a $1,250,000,000 loan to the Kingdom. The bill now royal assent. United awaits Canadian Strike Threat The threat of nation-wide strike action next month against every major Canadian industry unless union wage and hour demands are granted, emerged as the keynote of a conference of the National Wage Board Co-ordinating Committee of the Canadian Congress of Labor, held in Toronto. The committee endorsed the de- cision of the International Wood- workers of America, B.C., to take strike action on May 15, and the decision of the United Rubber Workers of America, CIO-CCL, who have set May 27 as the dead- line for strike action unless they receive an "adequate wage and hour settlement by that time."
