In its complaint the firm esti- mated the value of the time at| $29.75, the material at $10.26, and} the overhead at $10.03, a total of | | $50.04.

IENIATIVE PLAN T0 HELP BRITAIN | UNDER DISCUSSION WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—P—A tentative plah for helping Britain out of its financial crisis is expect- ed today from final discussions of | American, British and Canadian fact-finding officials. Representatives of the three gov- ernments have been meeting twice | daily for the past week to explore the problem. They hope to complete an agenda today that will permit their foreign ministers next week to discuss stop-gap measures to; ease the drain on Britain’s dwindling reserves. But officials agree they will not by themselves solve Brit~ ain’s long-range problem: Its in- ability to earn enough dollars to pay for what it buys from the United States and Canada. The basic solution to this is be- lieved to be an intensive drive by the Labor government to reduce British production costs and thus make it easier for British products to compete in the world market.
