Gently, expects to increase
its volume by more than
5000 million as a result Of
SPANS revamping its eco

ture.
The sequel OF loans and a
debt refunding moratorium
totaling close to $500 million
is expected to place the
Spanish economy on the
track for the first time in
more than a quarter-of-a-
century. The drastic liberali-
cation OF trade and the free
ing Of the currency, which
heretofore has been pegged
to an arbitrary rate OF ex-
change. will permit the i'm
port OF a much greater VOL
ume Of products needed by
the Spanish economy.
Agreements signed In
Washington this week signify
an entirely new trend in for
eign trade policies. They in
volve not only loans from the
American Government and
private banks but also SINH
lar contributions from the
European Economic Organi-
zation, the European None
tary Fund and the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund. Ne
gotiations with the official
and private groups have
been going on for some time.
Some Of the lenders, par
ticularly in Europe, were
hesitant because of the do
nestle situation" in Spain
and the alleged stubborn
ness of Generalissimo Franco
concerning a change in his
country's economic structure
to keep up with the times.
The reluctance of the
private lenders as well as
those OF the official agencies
was finally overcome when 1t
was realized that it was es-
sential for the security Of the
free world that the Spanish
economy be bolstered. More
over, studies on the spot
proved that Spain was fully
capable of beneflting from
the substantial financial sup
port it was seeking and it
was, to use bankers Ian
guage, a good risk"
Francois reluctance to en-
bark on a drastic revamping
of an economy which until
a few years ago was justly de-
scribed as 'in the 18th cen
tury mold" was eventually
understood by those who had
approached him to help
change it. The head Of the
Spanish government realized
probably better than outsiders
that a sudden change might
produce more confusion than
benefits. 1t took some time to
accustom the Spanish soil

to tractors.

Nikita Khrushchev has
again undertaken to rewrite
history. Sensitive to the
charge that Stain and the
Communist Party. by an ALI
ance with Hitler in 1899,
made World War II possible,
the Soviet Premier now bra
zenly tells the people Of Po-
land that the Soviets did all
this lust to buy time"
Millions of Russians and
Poles lost their lives because
Stain chose to make Hitler
his ally and thus, by protect
ing the eastern front for the
NaZis, gave them a free hand
on the western front against
France and Britain IN the
first years of World War II.
But Khrushchev now says
he was present when Stain
committed his act of perfldy
in making an alliance with
Hitler and that this action
was fully justified. One Won
ders how the Soviet Premier
dares to say this today to the
very people of Poland who, as
a consequence thereof, lost
their independence.
Just why Khrush C h ev
brought up the Soviet-Nazi
alliance at this time isn't
clear, but it seems probable
that he is Smarting under the
charges made earlier this
year by the United States
Government in an official
analysis" of the November
81, 1858, note from the So
VETS about Berlin. The So
VETS had alleged that, prior
to World War II, they had
displayed constant willing
ness to establish cooperation
with the other powers with
the object of resisting Hitler
lite aggression" and that IF
the Western powers had not
been shortsighted in their
hopes of turning Hitler east
ward and had co-operated
with the USSR, millions of
lives would have been saved. "
The Department of State,
in answering this fantastic
distortion of the facts Of his
tory, said:

Humphrey Bids for City Votes

a big factor in any realistic
appraisal of what might hap
pen at a wide-open Demo-
cratic convention.
After all these hopes are
duly noted, the Senator from
Minnesota remains the can
didate who has it uphill all
the way. His State does not
weigh heavily in a national
contest. He has no private
means. The South remem-
bers him still as the young
Midwestern mayor who with
no weapon but his tongue
secured adoption of a strong
civil rights plank in 1949-a
battle which provoked the
walkout of the Southern
States.
His best chance really is
to grab of the bulk OF Adlai
Stevenson's liberal following
which remains substantially
intact in such key spots as
California. Mr.. Stevenson
gave the all-clear to old New
York friends who sought his
approval of giving campaign
funds to Senator Humphrey.
But Mr.. Stevenson has still
to withdraw as a candidate
in terms convincing to most
of his admirers.
The Minnesotan's biggest
asset is personal-his mag
nificent campaigning ability.
This is important, since all
Democrats concede that Re-
publicans have in Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon. and
Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller
very formidable campaigners
of their own.

Excuse for '39 Stain Pact With Hitler
Stirs Review of Perfidy Against Poles

German Communist Party To
collaborate with the NaZis
and other extremists In UNI
dermining the German Wei
mar Republic. It helped sabo-
tage democratic parties ana
institutions and promoted
lawlesSness and disorder, This
aided Hitler's rise to abso-
lutte power, =.
The USSR turned aside
from negotiations with the
United Kingdom and France
in August, 1899. and con-
cluded the Molotov-Ribhen-
trop agreements which pro-
vided the necessary guaran-
ties for co-ordinated Nazi-
Soviet aggression in Eastern
Europe and resulted in World
War II.
I'm spite of warnings from
the Western powers Of i'm
pending German attack, the
Soviet government aided
Nazi Germany until Hitler
marched against it in (June)
l94l.
In April, l94l, the USSR
signed a neutrality pact with
the japanese ally Of Hitler,
thereby clearing the way for
the Pearl Harbor attack on
the United States on Decem-
Der 7, l94l,"
Thus it is clearly demon
strated that the Stain action
caused many millions Of allied
citizens to become casualties
in the war. Notwithstanding
Stains behavior, the United
States promptly sent a vast
amount of war materials tc
aid the Soviet armies wher
Hitler did attack Russia. 1r
view of this action, there ha'
been no more fragrant ex-
ample of ingratitude in worlc
history. For, ever since l945
the Soviet government ha'
turned on its own Western
allies who saved the Soviet
people from the Nazis. Today
however, war is being threat
ened by the Soviets agains
the West because it does no
accept the demands of Com
munist Imperialism.

ST LOUIS (JTA) = A resolution expressing gratltl

the United States through the mutual security pro-
gram was adopted closing session of the fourday
tonal convention of HadaSSah.
The Arizona post., 1959-10-02

The convention adopted a
budget of $9,335,OOO for Ia'
dassah's 1959-60 programs In
Israel and the United States
and reelected DR.. Miriam K.
Freund to fourth term as

The convention called on
the United States delegation
to the United Nations to "pu-
bliclv condemn" the United
Arab Republic for barring Is
raeli shipping from the Suez
Canal "and to exert its influ-
ence to the end that the Uni
ted Nations will exercise the
full weight of its moral and
legal authority to reverse the
illegal, dangerous and defiant
attempt of the Government
of the United Arab Republic
to restrict free passage
through through the Canal" :"
Another resolution noted
that the Arab League nations
"far from desisting in their
economic boycott of Israel
and their secondary boycott
of American firms doing busl-
ness with Israel, are intensity
ing their efforts in this dir

ection." The resolution urged
the United States Government
ITO resist all efforts made by
other governments to intro
duce discrimination against
American citizens on racial
or religious grounds, and to
refrain from entering into
any treaties or executive a.
greements which sanction
these discriminatory prac-
tees"
The convention voted to es-
tablish a Hadassah insurance
plan in the nature of an en-
doWment fund for future ex-
pansion. The delegates were
told that the plan was first
introduced in the Los An
geles area earlier this year.
In the first few months, 500
Hadassah members in the
area enrolled in the plan,
which nables Hadassah
members to obtain $1,000 in
surance policies designating
as the irrevocable
beneficiary at a low premium
rate.
