World Bank Dutch Loon


lands by the International Bank for Re
construction and Development marks an
other milestone in the progress of this
novel institution. Known as the World
Bank, its function aptly described in its
Official title, is the furthering of long-range
economic objectives, in contrast to it's COM
Elementary colleague. the World Fund,
which concerns itself with short-term
measures such as currency sterilization.
The Banks deliberate procedure is evi-
denced by the fact that this is only the
second loan granted, the initial operation
having been loan to Norway, made early
in the summer. The Netherlands filed its
loan application as far back as last April.
The bid was for $535, ,000 900, the object
being the financing of three year recon-
struction program for the homeland run
ming through 1949.
After four months of intensive study and
analysis, the bank has granted a loan of
$195,0O0,000, though an announcement that
1t was conducting further studies on the
reconstruction program does not exclude
the possibility of supplementary credits
at later date
The Banks explanatory report on the
loan bears witness to the thoroughness
with which all applications are investigated
This is necessary, not only that the bank
may fulfill the mission for which it was
created but also because it must sell its
debentures in the open market and thereby
merit the confidence of investors by strict
adherence to sound banking practices.
The basic factor in all cases is the
applicants credit -worthiness" And that
Is determined by many considerations, in
volving not merely the current economic
situation but also the applicant countrys
financial record and general business ethics
No nation has better reputation in
those respects than the Netherlands. And
it has been enhanced by the stringent
measures taken by the Dutch government
since the war to stabilize the guilder and
promote internal recovery, especially by
the mobilization and sale of foreign secur-
tiles. Such measures are all the more
praiseworthy in that the Netherlands has
been very hard hit by the war and its
handicaps to recovery are heavy. The bank
itself lists them as the measure of Dutch
loan needs They are: G) The necessity
for abnormally heavy imports to repair
war damage and restore production; (2l
the loss of Germany as an important cusA
TONER and as the number-one prewar
supplier of essential imports; 90 The "be-
clouded" economic relationship with the
Netherlands Indies, a valuable prewar
source Of raw materials and income. It
was these "beclouded" relations which led
the bank to specify that the present loan
be devoted exclusively" to the domestic
reconstruction of the Netherlands itself,
none Of the proceeds to be applied to the
Netherlands Indies nor for military pur-
poses
Nevertheless, the bank considers the
loan intrinsically sound and as an i'm
portant step forward in world recovery and
toward healthy European economy" In
cidentally, President McCloy has disclosed
that two other loans will soon be granted
-$50,0O0000 to Denmark and $4,000 900
to Luxembourg Both those applicants
have good records for Credit -worthiness."

Objects to Lights at Hearing

Objects to Lights at Hearing
To the Editor Of The Star:
Whatever else might be said for or against
the procedure of the Senate War Investigating
Subcommittee, its manner of subjecting the
witnesses and the public to the binding lights
and the almost continuous flare Of the photog-
raphers' lights constitutes a third degree which
I think would not be approved by our courts
even in criminal case.
There would seem to be no good reason for
Furnishing the witnesses in this manner These
brilliant lights must be injurious to the eyes
Of the witnesses and the public and the con-
tinuous milling around OF the photographers
Is very distracting and disagreeable to the
public as well as the witnesses. II the pur-
pose is to make every one uncomfortable, this
method of proceeding Is ideal H. B.

C.:Budget Review
Planned by House
Group in January

A restudy Of the District finan-
clal situation in the light of reve-
nue. and budget conditions next
January was planned yesterday by
chairman Bates of the Fiscal SUBJ
committee Of the House District
Committee.
he said 1t had been hoped the
lS47 Revenue Act would not have
10 be disturbed for two years, but
that his subcommittee would re-
view the picture anyway early in
the year to determine how the new
tax program was working out.
noting that District department
neads had submitted budget requests
totallng more than $l44 ,OO0, 900, Mr..
Bates strongly recommended econ
omy and urged the Commissioners
10 postpone all possible capital i'm
provements.
Sales Tax Is Possibility.
He added, however, that should
the f1nal budget show need for
any substantial increase in reve-
nues over the new levels provided
this year his subcommittee would
consider all revenue sources, includ-
Ing suggestions for substituting a
general sales tax for the individual
income levy.
He said he considered loans to be
the least desirable means for a CITY
to finance capital improvements
unless an emergency situation de-
Velops, because interest charges add
substantially to the burden.
In a search for economies, Mr..
Bates said one of his first steps
probably would be to call on school
officials to help him in a survey of
school buildings. He said he wanted
to determine whether school build
lngs were being abandoned long be-
fore their usefulness was ended
merely because of shifts in school
population.
Fears School Waste
Some buildings less than 40 years
old have been abandoned, he re-
called, and others are scheduled for
abandonment. 1t would be a
waste of public funds" if these
schools still were usable he added.
His plans call for school officials
to prepare maps of the District
showing the location of all public
: schools and those abandoned or
scheduled to be abandoned.
The 1947 boost in the Districts
real estate tax rate should justify
rent increases here only in "rela-
lively few cases, Mr.. Bates de-
clared. He contended that 50 tax
rate is not high but that Wash
ington rents have been altogether
out of line with investment and
maintenance costs.
Asked if this served as an argu-
ment for extension of District rent
controls, Mr.. Bates said he thought
moves to encourage new construc-
ton was the answer.
