Bracken Expects I ll. S. To Approve Loan To Britain

BY IYARCY (PDONNELI. OTTAWA. (GP) — John Bracken, Progressive Conser-

‘Bracken said he had dis- u,

Mr cussed the loan wltli various - pie in the United States and ad discovered a “great deal of differ- ence of opinion which no doubt would give rise to considerable con- troversy in Con "

“There is likely to be a good deal of twisting of the lion‘; tail, but in the end I would expect the loan to be approved There is a grow- ing feell that the alternative to the loan s very much less to be desired even from the point of View oi the United States itself.“

Mr. Bracken said he found that leoonversion plans in the United states were being delayed by the current labor disputes and by in- dustrial unrest.

“Organized labor is seeking to retain fcr shorter hours the same take home ay it received during the war. Th means higher hourly rates cf l’. The prevailing opin- ion is tllat in the end a com romlse will in reached-mi her liour y rates but a "lesser total t an was rscelved for the longer hours in the war- time period."

The people hehadmetiortbo

“There are evidences of isolation- lsm here and there but generally speaking there is a widespread a?-

rcclation oi the new responsib I- ties that fall upon the United states in view oi her leading pos- ition aa a world power.”
