Athletic commission, Rocky Graziano

himself, last week. He appeared be-
lore the new Illinois commission,

On the radio, however, Tony Yale,
whom he fought three times for the
middleweight title, war hero,
recommended that Graziano be per-
mitted to fight again.

Steady Fiscal Gain
Traced to Free

J

pressed during his recent visit

or merely diplomatic.
It Is probably fair to say that
his praise for France was intended

as the great antagonists Of Britain
in the contest between reborn free
enterprise and controlled economy.
It is quite striking-and there
Is q certain irritating complacency
about 1t In French financial quar-
ters-that while Britain is meet
ing with new dollar difficulties,
France is having none Of any i'm
portance and is, In fact. making
steady financial gains. The Brit
ish dollar gap is widening; the
French is closing slightly.
France Gets More Aid
It is obvious that In the long
run France cannot remain insu-
lated from any crisis which af-
fects Britain. her closest economic
partner, nor from an American
economic depression. But the
French view is that they are i'm
mune to the particular troubles
which affect Britain today, be-
cause for over . year they have
followed the free-enterprise road
while Britain has remained tight
ly controlled. In this position they
are supported by the ECA and
it would appear from reading be-
tween the lines Of Mr.. Snyder's
statement - by the American
Treasury.
The French dollar gap is very
little smaller than the British.
running at the rate of a billion
dollars a year. When one includes
the drawing rights conferred on
her by Britain and other Euro
pean countries. France is a larger
beneficiary of overseas aid; and
her unfavorable balance of pay
ments is a far larger proportion
of her total foreign trade. Her
war losses of national capital were
greater: her gold and hard cur
rency reserves are something like
one-fourth of Britain's per head
of population as compared with
three-quarters before the war.
Where then lies the reason for
the relative assurance Of France
at the moment when Britain's
losses OF reserves are bringing so
much concern?
Tourists Spend Freely
In the first place, France does
not rely 50 much as Britain upon
dollar income from colonial raw
materials. Such raw materials as
once came from Indo-C China have
already been seriously cut down
by civil war and consequently dis
counted. In the second place.
there is the fact that tourist dol
lars and other currencies, hard
and soft. are now flooding into
France at rate unprecedented
in the past. Dollars alone are
estimated to be coming in at 150.-
900 a day 4.500,000 a MONTH {.
The Americans and the French
agree that the biggest improve
ment has probably been in the
fiscal field. The black market
in currency has virtually disap-
peared-the black market for dol
lars being so close to the Official
one that in effect one has con-
vertibility.
