U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson said the recent dispute between the United States and West Germany over economic policy was responsible for much financial turmoil and that it should never have happened. He said in a television interview the dispute had fanned fears of a breakdown in the cooperation which is so important between finance ministers of the major nations. He said the dispute was a row which should not have happened and agreed that much of the blame lay with U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker who had publicly criticised West Germany for having raised its key interest rates.

The United States appears to have won a transatlantic battle by forcing the Bundesbank to trim interest rates, European economists said. But they added Washington set the stakes high by testing the limits of the Louvre accord while global stock markets were plunging. West German Finance Minister Gerhard Stoltenberg and U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker reaffirmed their commitment to currency stability at a secret meeting yesterday in Frankfurt, according to official statements released late Monday. Only 13 hours after the statements were released, the Bundesbank reduced short-term interest rates by offering banks liquidity at a fixed bid rate of 3.80 pct, down from a 3.85 pct facility rate offered last week. While the two ministers were meeting with Bundesbank president Karl Otto Poehl, the central bank had also added money market liquidity repeatedly, signalling it did not want a strong rise in the tender allocation rate on Tuesday. "It's round one to the Americans, " said Richard Reid, senior European economist for brokers UBS/Philips and Drew in London. But Reid added, "We shouldn't forget that it has taken one of the biggest stock market crashes in decades to get the West Germans to cut their security repurchase rate by a 0.05 percentage point." Over the weekend, criticism by Baker of earlier tightening of West German monetary policy led to a sharp dollar fall and fuelled speculation that the Louvre accord was no longer valid. Six leading industrial nations agreed under February's Louvre Accord to stabilise currencies and coordinate monetary policies. It has since been reaffirmed by the Group of Seven - the US, Japan, West Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Canada. The Frankfurt meeting on Monday soothed currency markets and the dollar gained over two pfennigs in after hours trading in New York. At the Frankfurt fixing on Tuesday, the dollar was quoted at 1.7918 marks compared with 1.7740 on Monday. Guenther Aschoff, chief economist at Deutsche Genossenschaftbank in Frankfurt said massive declines on world stock markets had been the main reason for the fall in West German short-term interest rates on Tuesday. "The Bundesbank wanted to set a marker after stock market losses... That was the responsible thing to do and if it fits with Baker's wishes, then all the better," he said. No central bank wants to let interest rates rise, and the Bundesbank had been forced to put its rates up following rises in the U.S., Aschoff said. Poehl told a conference in Frankfurt on Tuesday the central bank has no interest in higher capital market rates and he thought the global rate increase was a cause for concern. Giles Keating, economist with Credit Suisse First Boston Ltd in London said "The cautious Bundesbank has beaten a retreat and Baker has won a battle...But he hasn't won the war as the security repurchase rate is still 20 points higher than it was before the IMF meeting last month in Washington." Before the IMF meeting, when the Louvre Accord was reaffirmed, the Bundesbank was offering money market liquidity at 3.60 pct, Keating noted. Economists said the United States now appeared to have agreed to play by the rules of the Louvre Accord and support the dollar in return for the German action on interest rates. Any further sharp decline of the dollar would hinder Washington's efforts to reduce its trade deficit, Stoltenberg told a news conference on Tuesday. He added he would not rule out central banks of leading industrial countries intervening on exchange markets to defend the dollar's value. Deutsche Genossenschaftbank's Aschoff stressed West Germany's heavy dependence on exports and the need for currency stability. In addition, both the U.S. And West German central banks were keen to avoid a dollar slide which would force them to again spend vast sums intervening to support the dollar. REUTER

The European Community (EC) agreed a trade deal with Argentina designed to compensate the country following the entry of Spain and Portugal into the group, EC officials said. Under the deal agreed by EC foreign ministers, Argentina will gain additional trading rights on a series of products including meat, fish and cereals by-products. But ministers failed to agree on new trade deals with Canada and Japan and are due to study these again, the officials said. The deal with Argentina was agreed by a majority of EC states after West Germany withdrew objections to increased quotas for Argentina on high-quality beef. Ireland and France continued to oppose the deal on meat, saying that the main dispute was over sales of cereals substitutes, but they were outvoted by the other states, the officials said. Under the deal, Argentina will benefit from improved quotas on exports of beef to the EC. In particular the quota on high-quality Hilton beef will be raised by 4,500 tonnes to 34,300 tonnes and quotas on frozen boneless beef will be increased by 3,000 tonnes to 53,000 tonnes. Argentina will also benefit from an additional quota of 5,000 tonnes of frozen hake fillets at 10 pct duty and reduced levies on 550,000 tonnes of wheat bran, the officials said. The improved trade terms were offered after Argentina said that Spain and Portugal's entry into the EC affected their exports of cereals substitutes to these two countries. They have been negotiated under the rules of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade). But officials said ministers had been unable to resolve Canadian claims that its sales of certain fish to Spain had been affected by the country's EC membership. Officials said the EC had asked GATT to arbitrate on the fish dispute with Canada. Ministers also decided to continue talks with Japan. The EC claims that Spain and Portugal's entry into the group has improved trade conditions for Japan but has been unsatisfied with Japanese offers of compensation. Japan's main offers were to improve inspection systems on citrus fruits to aid EC exports, to improve tariffs for some other farm produce, to increase tariffs for leather footwear and to offer better trade terms for Spain and Portugal. EC External Trade Commissioner Willy De Clercq told journalists: "We maintain our position that the (Japanese) concessions were not enough." "We hope that there will be an improvement," he said.

U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson said the collapse of British share prices this week held no implication so far for domestic interest rates. He said in a television interview that "there is nothing in the events of the past few days to increase the upward pressure on (U.K.) interest rates." Sterling has so far stayed solid during the crisis, backed by strong economic fundamentals and by 10 pct bank base lending rates, analysts said. Lawson's comments followed another frantic day in London's financial center, where British shares closed 12.2 pct down on the day. Reuter

Confronted by new hostilities involving U.S. forces in the Gulf, the U.S. Senate voted to end Republican stalling tactics and limit debate on a measure that could give Congress a larger role in Gulf policy. The measure, however, does not require President Reagan to comply with the 1973 War Powers Act as does a related Senate bill. The controversial War Powers Act could require a pullout of U.S. forces from the Gulf. The Senate voted 67-28 to stop a filibuster and limit debate to 30 hours on a bipartisan measure that requires Reagan to report to Congress on Gulf policy within 60 days and calls for a resolution to be passed in the House and Senate on the situation in the volatile waterway 30 days later. The resolution could be about any Gulf-related issue, including an expression of support or of disapproval for Reagan's policy of protecting 11 Kuwaiti tankers from Iran in the waterway. The Pentagon said the 12th U.S.-protected convoy began moving through the Gulf early Tuesday. Reuter

Finance Minister Gerhard Stoltenberg said he was surprised by recent criticism of West German economic policies voiced by U.S. Treasury Secretary James Baker but added that the criticism was not purely one-sided. Stoltenberg told the West German Trade and Industry Association (DIHT) that before a meeting with Baker on Monday, "There had been surprising notes of criticism (from the United States)." He added. "Criticism is not a one-way street." He did not elaborate, but Bonn has often called on the U.S. To reduce its federal budget deficit. Over the weekend Baker had criticised West German economic policies, saying that rises in domestic interest rates here were not in the spirit of last February's Louvre pact to stabilise currencies. Stoltenberg told the DIHT that his meeting on Monday with Baker had resolved differences between the two countries. At a news conference earlier on Tuesday Stoltenberg had declined to comment specifically on Baker's criticisms, but he had said that after three hours of discussions on Monday, "one remark or another has been clarified."

U.S. military planners ruled out Iran's Silkworm missiles as a target in the retaliatory attack mounted on Monday for fear of being drawn more deeply into the Iran-Iraq war, defense and Middle East experts said. U.S. naval forces destroyed an offshore oil platform and raided another in what the administration called a "measured and appropriate response" to an Iranian Silkworm missile attack last Friday on a U.S.-flagged tanker in Kuwaiti waters. Private analysts generally agreed that going after the rig rather than an onshore economic or military target such as Silkworm launch sites reflected a careful bid by Washington to limit the political, military and diplomatic fallout both at home and in the Gulf. "It simply demonstrated the United States will take military action when they (Iran) take military action," Norman Polmar, a defense analyst and author, said. He said hitting the platforms had spared Iran the embarrassment of casualties on its own soil, possibly avoiding an escalating spiral of attack and counterattack. In addition, it minimized the risk to U.S. forces and the potential embarrassment of any losses, including aircraft that could have been shot down had they taken part in an attack. Anthony Cordesman, author of a new book on the Iran-Iraq war, said the United States apparently chose a limited target to keep alive the possibility that U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar might still persuade Iran to accept a Security Council call for a ceasefire. "We want the U.N. peace initiative to work if there's any chance at all," he said, adding that the action made it clear tougher steps would follow if Iran to attack Gulf shipping. In targeting an oil rig -- albeit one said by the Pentagon to have been turned into a military command post -- Washington also sent a message that it might be willing to attack Iran's economic lifeline. Pentagon officials said the platform had been used as a base for Iranian raids against shipping in the lower Gulf. "We have chosen a military target, but we also have shown Iran that we are willing to interfere with its oil-exporting capabilities," Cordesman said. He predicted the United States would respond to any future major Iranian challenges by hitting Iran's naval base at Bandar Abbas on the Straits of Hormuz, followed by mining the approaches to Iran's oil export terminal on Kharg Island. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said on Monday the United States did not seek further confrontation with Iran, "but we will be prepared to meet any escalation of military action by Iran with stronger countermeasures."

Spanish farm minister Carlos Romero, speaking at a meeting of EC farm ministers, called for action to help the Spanish maize market, Spanish diplomatic sources said. Spain is threatened with massive imports from third countries by the end of the year, they said. They said the imports are due to come in as a result of the accord by which the EC has promised the United States it will import two mln tonnes of maize and 300,000 tonnes of sorghum into Spain from third countries this year. Around a sixth of this tonnage has so far come in under a reduced levy system and the EC cereals management committee may decide this week to authorise the Spanish intervention board to make direct purchases. The sources said Romero urged that other EC countries should take some of the imports to prevent disturbance of the Spanish market. They said he threatened to withhold support for the EC Commission plan for new limits on farm output which if breached would mean price cuts unless Spain received some help. The sources said no direct reply was given to Romero at the meeting. Reuter

Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas lease sale number 97 in the Beaufort Sea, tentatively schedualed for January 1988 has been postponed, the U.S. Department of Interior said. Alan Powers, chief of the Minerals Maanagement Service for the department, said the delay is to have more time to study the effects of drilling noise on whale migrations. Powers said the state has asked for additional noise data for the sale area off Alaska's North Slope. A new date has not been set, but it will likely be no sooner than next March, Powers said. Some 3,930 blocks encompassing about 21 mln acres are involved in the proposed sale. The area is between three and 160 miles off the northern coast of Alaska in the Artic Ocean between the Canadian border and 162 degrees west longitude. Reuter

Ecuador posted a trade deficit of 71.3 mln dlrs in the first eight months of 1987, compared with a surplus of 468.6 mln dlrs in the same period of 1986, central bank figures show. Ecuador suspended oil exports, which made up 55 pct of the value of its total exports in 1986, for five months this year after an earthquake in March shattered the country's pipeline. The central bank said the value of exports from January to August 1987 stood at 1.132 billion dlrs and imports 1.204 billion dlrs. Net international monetary reserves declined to 57.5 mln dlrs at end-September from 146.8 mln dlrs at end- September 1986. Reuter

Telex Corp said its board adopted a shareholder rights plan which will allow shareholders to purchase one common share for two dlrs if a hostile group acquires 15 pct or more of the company. However, the company said the plan will not be triggered by purchases pursuant to the 65 dlrs a share tender offer commenced on October 9 by a unit of TLX Partners, a group controlled by New York financier Asher Edelman. It said the rights will be distributed on a one for one basis to all shareholders as of October 30 and may be redeemed before they become exercisable at five cents per right. The company said the rights will expire on the later of February 17 next year or 60 days from the date they become exercisable. It said the plan was intended to protect stockholders against any attempt to take unfair advantage of the recent decline in stock prices or to use abusive tactics such as market accumulations which would interfere with its ability to maximize stockholder value. The rights become exercisable if any person or group acquires 15 pct or more of the company's common stock other than through an all cash tender offer for all outstanding shares at 65 dlrs per share. It said the rights will also not become exercisable if the company is acquired by a group under an agreement made with its board. A spokeswoman told Reuters the company would have an official response to Edelman's bid by Friday, Oct 23. Reuter

Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz was thanked by the Reagan administration for his country's close, and closed-mouthed, cooperation with Washington in the Gulf, a senior U.S. official said. "The Saudis are being very cooperative. It would be nice if the Saudis would go more public, but it's their real estate," said the official who asked not to be named. He declined to describe what sort of help the Saudis were providing, saying that Saudi officials are reluctant to acknowledge their role in the Gulf where the United States has stationed forces to protect shipping lanes. The prince met Vice President George Bush on Monday after U.S. naval forces attacked offshore Iranian oil platforms in what Washington said was retaliation for an Iranian attack on a ship moored off Kuwait and flying the U.S. flag. Asked at the start of the meeting how he felt about the attack, the prince, who is here on an official visit, replied, "I believe what the United States has done is their responsibility as a superpower." The senior U.S. official said his remark was an endorsement of the U.S. attack. Reuter
