REFUND DENIED
AID FOR_ GREECE BRITISH EXPENDITURE U.S. POLICY CLARIFIED WASHINGTON. May 23. The Under-Secretary of State. Mr. Dean Acheson, declared that the United States would make no payment to Britain for expenses Britain had incur red in Greece since March 31—the original deadline set for the United States to take over. He was commenting on a report that the United States would refund to Bn tain some 20,000,000 dollars spent since March 31. Mr. Acheson said: “We are under no obligation of any sort to pay Britain anything whatever. All the stuff they sent to Greece was sent on their own responsibility. It was understood very clearly that Britain’s was whatever thev chose to make it.” It was possible that the United States would buy some British goods with Greek and Turkish-aid funds, thereby helping Britain's dollar resources, he concluded.
Britain originally announced that she was unable to help Greece after March 31. but later agreed to advance more funds.
