HAVANA, Cuba. - This is the
city Of rum and rumba, of gayety
galore. the city that never goes to

get along with only three Or four
hours of shut-eye out of "a is the

u. n. UnitAsks Review
OF Current Programs
For Economic Revival
By the Associoted Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Feb. IT,
United Nations economists are
urging a review of all current eco
nomic programs in the light of
persistent world trade maladiust-
ments.
Their suggestion is in survey
OF economic changes in 1949 pre-
pared for the 18-nation Economic
and Social Council. The report
said no remedy is yet in sight for
the chronic unbalance of trade
which the U. N. experts feel is the
worlds No. economic headache
at the moment. !
The survey did not specify which
economic programs should be re-
evaluated, but it was assumed one
OF them was the European Recov-
cry Program under which the
United States has poured billions
OF dollars into Western Europe. /
U. S. Imports Drop.
The report pointed to the drop
IN American imports from West
ern Europe as one of the factors
that aggravated the trade prob
lem during 1949. It also indicated
the growing movement to develop
the backward countries threatened
to complicate the picture still fur
ther.
The U. N. experts expressed the
belief that the trade program was
triangular matter involving the
United States, Western Europe
and the underdeveloped countries.
They made no concrete recon-
mendations. but foresaw the pos
slbility that the United States
might have to continue financial
aid indefinitely to Western Europe
or to the underdeveloped areas.
ERP Dollars Helped.
The alternative, they said,
would be for the United States
to reduce its exports, increase it's
imports. or both. They added,
however, that this would reverse
what appeared to be an inherent
tendency in the United States.
The present level of American
exports was made possible, the
report said, because a substantial
part Of them are being paid for
by dollars supplied to Western
Europe under the ERP. In the
second auatrer of 1949, for ex-
ample, about one-half of Ameri-
can exports were financed by
ERP money.
