-~ Marshall Plan’s Loan Feature
7 . .
~_ Brings Complicated Problems
E s BY PETER EDSON
3 NEA Washington Correspondent
I WASHINGTON—MarshaII Plan Administrator
Paul Hoffman’s reconstruction loan program for
I Eurove isn’'t working out quite as expected. This
; part of the Economic Co-operation Administration
‘ job is directly under Wayne C. Taylor. He was for
. merly undersecretdary of Commerce and a member
v of the Export-Import Bank board.
E The original plan was for all ECA loans to be
; made for specific reconstruction projects by the
+ usual Export-Import Bank procedure. Only loans
. that had good chances of paying out were to be
. approved, prdject by project.
Out of ECA's first year $5,000,000,000 appropria-
E tion, $1,000,000,000 was set aside for repayable
- loans, $4,000,000,000 for free grants. But it was soon
. discovered that this 8 per cent grant-20 per cent
. loan ratio could not be applied right down the line
; for each of the 16 co-operating dountries.
Countries like Sweden and Iceland needed .only
. loans. Austria, Western Germany and Trieste eould
‘ * fake only grants, So mixed formulas had to be
. worked out, ‘country by country.
~ ACELAND GOT FIRST LOAN :
~ ¥ Some of the. countries have donhe excellent jobs
~in submitting estimates on their required recon
~ struction loans. Iceland knew just what she wanted
in the way of a factory ship to modernize her fish
; jng industry. Iceland got the first loan, and so far
~the only one, for $2,300,000.
. Turkey has submitted good estimates on require
. ments for her mining, power, agriculture and trans
dort industries.
. ltaly likewise has turned in specific plans on
. what she needs.
', Most of the European governments, however,
. made little effort to separate projects on which
. they wanted grants from those which should be
E handied by repavable loan. This left it to ECA to
. Hecide what should be financed by loan and what
E. By grant.
“"To meet this situation, the idea was developed
to‘,lmake what might be called lump-sum loans
flyering a number of individual reconstruction
_projects. Technically, they are international trade
balance of payment loans. Many of the ECA-Ex
port-Import Bank loans will be negotiated on this
basis in the future. = '
%fl COUNTRY’S SITUATION IS DIFFERENT
Separate grant-loan ratios are being worked out
for each country. Many factors have to be taken in
to consideration. What is each country’s existing
deb.t structure? At what dates must it repay other
oans? How good a risk is the country? How long
'l‘gpuld its future loans run? When should repay
gpent begin?
" It has been decided that all loans must be re
p?y_'able within 35 years, at 2 1-2 per cent interested
'mstead of 3 per cent. No repayments on principal
or interest are to begin until 1952—end of the pres
egt ECA program. Some principal payments will
be deferred until 1956.

Holding Up Franco Aid Will
Give New Opposition Chance
A few days ago there was a rumor that
theUnited States government might spon-
Sor or support a Spanish bid for United
Nations membership. This rumor followed
closely on Senator Chan Gurney’s inter
view with Generalissimo Franco, and the
senator’s subsequent announcement that
he hoped normal dipiomatic relations be
tween the United States and Spain could
be resumed.
Now comes word that Spanish Repub
licans and Monarchists agreed last Aug
ust on a coalition government-in-exile that
would exclude Communists. It is not clear
whether the announcement of this get
together was speeded by Senator Gur
ney's words or the rumor of Secretary
Marshall’s actions. But it might well ‘have
had something to do in cementing a mer
ger of two groups who have little in com
mon except nationality, exile, and loss of
power to Franco,
The British and French governments,
being well to the left of our, are said to
favor this new arrangement. American
reaction is reported to be in doubt. But
engineers of the coalition were quick to
remind the world that all three govern
ments are pledged Lo back a democratic
regime in Spain.
The coalition program calls for contin
ued effort to overthrow Kranco, an inte
rim governmeint, free elections, and a ple
biscite on the return of the monarchy.
But just how the Socialist Republicans
and the Monarchists hope to oust Franco
without another civil war is not clear.
Perhaps they don’'t hold any such hope.
Since they appear to be working with the
anti-Franco underground inside Spain,
they may count on at least a ‘‘threat to the
peace’” that would bring the United Na
tions into the picture.
The Franco government, brought before
the UN, would have little defense except
a de facto rule of Spain. Franco over
threw an elected government by force. e
has held no free clections since (though
three municipal elections, the first in 13
years, are announced for November and
December) .
If this coalition should gain power, any
American support would surely depend
vil the assurance that the Communists
were really excluded. The Spanish gov
ernment that Franco defeated was liber
ally honeycombed with Reds. It would not
be enough to exclude them from any fu
ture cabinet.
It may be a long chance that the Repub
lican-Monarchist team will get any far
ther than announcing its brave program
of action. But as long as a chance re
mains, this government might well hold
off on any plan {or sponsoring Franco
Spains’ place in the family of nations.
The only argument advanced for doing
so is that Spanish bases would be a mili
tary necessity in the event of war in Eu
rope. We are not expert in militayy
science, but we cannot help feeling that if
cozying up to Franco means the differ
ence between potential victory and prob
able defeat, then we are now in a desper
ately bad way and should do something
drastic about it. But short of desperate
and immediate emergency, there stili
ought to be a limit ot the strangeness ol
this great democracy’s political bedfel
lows.
Death and Taxes .
This may be no matter for unserious
comment, but we can’t help being intri
gued by a story about a condemned mur
derer awaiting execution at Sing Sing
Prison. He had readily confessed his
crime. But when someone asked him
about his personal finances, he replied, “I
refuse to answer that question. It might
incriminate me. I mean my income tax.”
A lot of us have felt, come mid-March,
that the income tax was a fate worse than
death. But here, it would seem, is proof
positive. :
We can solve our problems without us
ing totalitarian deveies, without resorting
to the methods of the poiice state.—Gov
ernor Thomas E. Dewey. :
War as the final point in a phase of dis
agreement cannot be either the goal of
hope or the goal of despair.—Juan Bra
muglia, Argentine delegate to the UN.

Federalists
Athens World Federalists were
told Wednesday night that
whether we have world govern
ment or a third world war de
pends largely on the pubiic opin
ion of Athenians and people like
them all over the nation.
Dhil Ifammer, president of the
Atlania World Federalists, said
that during his war-time work
with the State Department he
found our leading diplomats and
policy makers prevented time
and again from doing things they
believed necessary due to fear
the American pepole would not
pack them.
Many congressmen and - other
leaders in both political parties,
declared Mr. Hammer, are now
ready for world government but
they are afraid to make it the
core of our foregin policy until
absolutely certain the people want
it also.
“There are still too many peo
ple who believe world govern
ment is.impossible in our time,”
he said. Thus it is the first task
of the World Federalists to show
them how the “impossible” can
be done, as it was done here in
versity of Georgia campus for the
benefit of 35 Lutheran students
and visiting Athenians.
