This Changing World
Economic Crisis in Spain Could Bring
Widespread Repercussions Over Europe

shall Plan nations are obliged to
help each other before they can
dispose of surpluses to non-partici-
pating nations.
The alternative for Spain, under
these conditions. is to purchase for
cash what she needs in the
United States. And this is the
principal obstacle. Spain has
neither foreign exchange nor gold
with which to buy what she needs
in the United States.
Before the revolution broke out
in 1886 Spain was the fourth
largest gold -holder in Europe. The
Loyalist government pNrchased
war materials and other necessities
during the civil war from France,
and especially from Russia. It paid
all its debts with gold. The Rus
slams charged exorbitant prices
for planes and tanks-some of
which never arrived. Gold pay
ment to Russia had to be made
with the orders.
Franco Found Empty Chest.
The result has been that Gen.
Franco found an empty gold chest
when he took over the govern
ment. Since that time he has
managed to build up the treasury,
but gold was and remains scarce.
Today Gen. Franco has no more
than 00.000.000 in gold.
When Spain was compelled, as
a result Of this years drought. to
buy wheat and corn to the value
of $2,250,000 in the United States
the price had to be paid in gold.
since the Spanish government did
not have at its disposal enough
dollars or other hard currencies.
The crisis. Spaniards say, is
only beginning. Another bad year
like 1949 and the country will
really be in a predicament. Hydro
electric equipment can be
bought only in the United States.
since the British product is con-
sidered inferior and moreover Is
not available in necessary guam
titles. Cotton for Spain's mills
can be obtained only in the
United States, since the Egyptian
product does not answer the pur-
pose.
Thus, unless the American boy
colt is mitigated there Is q strong
possibility that Western Europe
may be faced next year with q
crisis in Spain which will aggra-
vate the present difficult inter-
national situation. Even the
French and British governments
have become worried because a
Spanish crisis will deprive them
of some substantial profits which
they are now making by selling
Spain ECA supplies at near black
market prices.
