This Changing World
u. S. Policy on Loans to Spain Seen
As Puzzlins as Dealings With Chinese

rated. The head OF the American
mission in Madrid, Paul Culbertson,
unofficially informed the Spanish
government that Washington no
longer insisted on a change of
regime or even the retirement Of
Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
But it did want liberalization Of
certain Spanish economic laws.
Although Washingtons desires have
been complied with, as far as is
compatible with her sovereignty,
Spain's various requests have fallen
on deaf ears in Washington where,
in recent weeks, still newer change
of policy has taken place.
The Spanish government sent
Representatives to this country to
seek a moderate token" loan from
the Export Import Bank. This was
refused on the ground that 1t would
constitute a change Of front by the
United States.
The Spaniards pointed out that
they had been led to believe that
America would not object to renewal
Of trade relations and extension OF
financial assistance, similar to aid
we have granted in the past to
countries now behind the Iron Cur
tain. The reply, made in most cour-
teous form, was that such action on
the part of this Government might
be unfavorably regarded and mis-
interpreted by the Londen and Paris
government, both of which were still
strongly opposed to resumption OF
normal diplomatic relations with
the Franco government.
Red Light Still Seen On.
Discreet inquiries made at the
State Department by New York
bankers, who do not run away from
remunerative business, received
lukeWarm and Indifferent reactions
which were taken by the New York
ers as indication that the red light
against loans to Spain had not
changed even to amber.
The new British and French
agreements with Spain may offer
reasonable explanation why those
countries object 10 America naVlng
anything to do economically with
the Franco government.
The American Government appar-
emily has become so accustomed to
making billions OF dollars in loans
without receiving payment even OF
the interest that 1t frowns on any
loans which could be repaid.
Spain has certain raw materials,
such as mercury, tin and cork, which
are much needed In America.
Moreover, Spain has indicated that
she would rather supply her needs
direct from the source rather than
through third parties, as is the case
in the new trade agreements. But
she has not been able to convince

SOCIAL SECURITY

Checking on your old-age and
survivors insurance account is a
good deal like having your bank
account balanced and is just as
good business This was the advice
of Mr.. M. B. White, manager of
the jackson office of the Social
Security Administration. in remind
ing workers of this free service of
his agency.
We urge all workers to check at
intervals on their account" Mr..
White explained, 80 that they may
be sure of receiving credit for all
wages they earn! We take every
precautlon to insure the accuracy of
our records but faulty reporting by
employers still causes trouble Most
errors on reports are due to mis-
takes in the workers name or ac-
count number or to failure to show
any number. Sometimes the wrong
amount of wages is reported and
occasionally no report at all is made.
Most mistakes are corrected in
our central records office or by
getting information from the en-
ployer or worker involved" Mr..
White continued. But unfortunate
ly there are some instances in which
lack of information prevents our
giving the worker credit for his
wages. And the amount of credit is
very important because we use it
as the basis for figuring the size of
the payments a worker or his fam
lily may receive. Another important
point to remember is that under the
statute of limitations worker must
call attention to an error in his ac-
coun within years after the wages
are earned. If he waits longer than
that we may not be able to adjust
his records"
Mr.. White added that there is nc
charge for furnishing wage state
