.Rosenan Speaks
On International
Budget System
n n
Bv Ruth Dean

The difficult problem of financing
such international organizations as
the FAC and UNESCO was an
swered yesterday in several sugges-
tions by Alvin Roseman of the Bu-
reau Of the Budget before the in
ternational relations section of the
District League of Women Voters.
Mr.. Roseman, who is deputy chief
of the international relations branch
of the Bureau of the Budget, told
the group which met at the YWCA
that the individual contributions of
member nations is not unlike a form
of taxation.
Using our own income tax system
as comparison, the speaker point
ed out that the most logical form
to follow in an international budget
plan should be on capacity to pay.
We must not only look at the total
national income of a Nation but at
the per capita income, he added.
The per capita income of some
countries is so low that there should
be some form of exemption such as
exists for the taxpayer in the low
income bracket in this country.
At present the United States
total expenditures to these inter-
national organizations is $22,500,-
600. or little more than it spends
annually on the Bureau Of Mines
or to run the District school sys-
team, the speaker said, in illustra-
ton of what a small percentage of
the country's wealth goes to finance
these obligations outside the ma
tional budget.
The big question is what part of
our income are we willing to pay
and how should it be apportioned
among these several organizations,
Mr.. Roseman declared. There must
be priorities so that the relative
Importance of support of these or
ganizations may be established, he
emphasized.
Mr.. Roseman commented that the
United States unilateral decision Of
withdrawing UNRRA aid through an
international organization and the
following of our example by other
countries indicates a trend away
from our original goal. The speaker
declared that he thought none of
us are thoroughly convinced or sat
isfied with the structure or pro-
gram of these international organ
ization, but that our support of
them is an indication of our faith
in them.
Mrs. Walter Laves, section chair
man, presided and introduced the
speaker.

vived,' she commented Lack OF
food, caused tremendous increase in
tuberculosis, she continued, adding
that the food shortage was one of
Hollands greatest miseries.
"I have seen people leave the city
and walk go miles into the country
seeking food" she asserted.
Since its liberation, Holland has
made valiant attempts to supply her
own food needs and has never been
given assistance by UNRRA, DR.. de
Granite explained.
while food Is not plentiful, we
have sufficient and tuberculosis is
already declining"
At Bellevue Hospital, the young
Dutch woman is engaged principally
in laboratory research.
Opportunities for research in
Holland are so much less than here" !"
she explained. Medical research in
America has made enormous strides
in the past 20 years"
Her impressions of this country?
The Dutch doctor turned to Miss
Peterson and both smiled.
1--WE would be here all afternoon
If we told you the wonderful things
we have found here" Miss Peterson
remarked.
II wonder, everytime / look ont
the New York streets and see so
many thousands of people, how it
is possible to keep order" she said.
And also how it is possible to ever
find your criminals. But you do,
even though it sometimes takes a
little while"
The Danish lawyer explained that
in Denmark, every person in the
country is registered.
"Everytime a person moves, they
must report their move to the po-
lice" she added. ut is difficult for
a person to disappear in Denmark.
Although juvenile delinquency is
la problem in Denmark as well as in
the United States, Miss Peterson
said it is an unheard Of thing for
children under Is years of age to
commit serious crime. There are
no juvenile courts in her country
and no person under Is years Of
age can be punished by law.
IF occasionally juvenile is really
a problem, the case is handled by
our social workers." she explained.
