Numerous Queries

Mrs. A. F. S., KenSington
I have several problems
on which I'd like some help:
1. We have a young red
maple tree which looks per-
fectly healthy until about
this time of year when it
takes on a whitish look on
the leaves.
Would spraying with some
insecticide be the answer?
Does this type of tree re-
quire much moisture?
2. During a recent move
from one house to another
we lost a stopper for a cut
glass decanter. We are heart
sick about this loss since the
decanter is one of a three
piece set which belonged to
my husbands family in Ger
many.
I'd like to know if there
Is some place in the Wash
lngton area that would have
available such an item, or
that would be able to dupli-
cate the stopper.
3. I would like to know
how to renovate a small
leather-bound Bible. The
binding has come loose and
the leather binding, inside
and outside, has become
mildew spotted.
Thank you so much for
any help you can give me.

laugurs wen for the achieve
ment Of western European
unity. This unity is one Of the
major objectives Of Western
diplomacy and will, as it be-
comes a reality, constitute a
mighty bulwark of defense Of
our common cause.
The United States Govern
ment and private banks have
had a major part in making
possible his new course. The or
ganization for European Eco
nomic Cooperation (OEEC)
and the International None
tary Fund QMF9 were also
major contributors.
AS a result Of a combination
Of the efforts Of the Spaniards
themselves and American aid,
the period from 1851 to the
present has been one Of great
economic growth in Spain.
However, as a normal con-
comitant of rapid economic
growth in conditions of insult
f1cient capital resources and
production, Spain experienced
the same type of imitation
which hit many countries in
Evening star., 1959-12-20

similar circumstances. Since q
high level Of imports Is re-
quired for rapid industrializa-
ton, Spain also suffered from
an unfaVorabIe balance of pay
ments and its foreign exchange
holdings dwindled away despite
the sizable grants Of aid from
the United States.
Although the Spanish econ
omy had not reached a crisis
stage and though its external
and internal debts were far
lower than those of many an
other country, the Government
decided to take corrective ac-
ton before an extreme stage
was reached.
What made it possible for
Spain to consider measures for
economic stabilization was its
recent membership in the In
ternational Monetary Fund,
and the willingness of other
Western European nations to
help Spain and accept her as
a full member in the Organiza-
ton for European Economic
Cooperation (OEEC).
In February, 1859, the Span.

ish government undertook for
NAL negotiations with the MP
and the OEEC which euI-
minated in the economic sta
biliZation program announced
on July 20 of this year.
Immediately after the pro-
gram was announced, the Span
ish government began to issue
the many DEGREES required to
bring about the changes de-
sired. The measures adopted
are already beginning to be
reflected in Spain's foreign ex-
change balances.
There is in Western Europe
today an ineXorable current
toward closer economic and
political cooperation among
nations and toward the for
malization Of this cooperation
in terms of international or
ganizations and multilateral
treaties.
Spain is now travelling in
this current and it is to be
hoped that Spain is well on
the road to full and equal part

which in recent years have
scored notable gains both in

considerably in value during
the last decade we are not
quite satisfied with the devel-

To this effect, the law dis

The judgement which gov

the effect that the activity of

reducing trade barriers. The
work that has been carried out
by GAIT and OEEC in this
respect, in our opinion, has been
of the greatest Importance for
furthering economic develop
ment in member nations.
The present plans for eco
nomic integration in Western
Europe represent new decisive
steps towards a strengthening
of the European economy by
increased and more efficient
production, by promoting buy
ing power and by raising STAN
dards of living.
The European Free Trade AS
sociation between the so-called
Outer Seven, has as one Of its
main ultimate purposes the
establishment of a multilateral
agreement for removing trade
barriers between all members
of OEEC, including the six
members of the European Eco
nomic Community.
1t is our hope that the free
trade association will serve the
purpose of furthering economic
development and closer eco
nomic cooperation not only
within Europe but also on q
worldwide basis.

better balance in our trade re-
lations, as we constantly have a
great import surplus. Roughly
speaking, we buy from the
United States twice as much as
we sell to this market.
Sales Expand
The Swedish export industry
constantly is making great ef-
forts to expand its sales to the
United States and these efforts
have not been without success.
There is, however, still much
to be done in this respect. In
this context, I wish to express
our vital interest in the pursu-
ance of a liberal trade policy
in the United States and in the
successive lowering of tn e
United States tariffs.
Sweden, for her part, for a
long time has maintained a
liberal trade policy. Our tariffs
are among the lowest in the
world and during the last II
years we have liberalized i'm
ports from quantitative restric-
tions as speedily as our eco
nomic position has permitted

situation much better than
any other European country
in order to produce with a
view to the increasing African
markets, to the Middle East
ones and to those of the
Arabian countries, as well as to
the markets Of Central and
South America.
Besides, Spain, now a mem
ber of the OCEE, intends to
maintain and even improve its
interchange with the rest of
the European countries and
surely will find the formula
to participate in the profits of
an extended and unified
European market through the
successive partial integrations
in course.
Then the American investor
knows that when investing in

that its products have for the
Spanish economy, and to its
capacity for creating incomes
and employment for labor.
Unlimited Transfer
AS regards to the preferential
investments. the transfer of
dividends is free and unlimited;
and the capital invested can
be, if wanted, repatriated after
two years, starting from the
date when the initial diSinveSt-
ment is carried out. AS to the
non preferential investments,
the transferability of the divi-
dends is limited to 6 per cent
Of the invested capital, and the
repatriation is some VIII a t
slower.
But, as well in the first as
in the second case, the Govern
ment is authorized by the law
to improve this condition in
the measure that the situation
Of the balance of payments
and the Spanish foreign eX-
change reserves would allow.
Resorting to the law of hy-
drocarbonS, enacted in 1858,
numerous and powerful Ameri-
can oil companies have already
applied for authorizations up
to a foreseen volume of invest
ment. in Spanish territories,
that reaches a very important
figure. The law for foreign in
vestment seems to augur a Sue
cess likewise, taking into ac-
count the large number of con-
situations.
The new economic policy and
the guarantees now offered in
Spain for the import of foreign
capital have given rise to a
strong current of attraction
from the countries with a
greater investment capacity.
We sincerely think that all
this will serve the American
firms reSuming their former
trend of investing in Spain.
And also it makes them under
stand that anticipation in de-
cisions is specially profitable
when, as in this case, there is
a strong competition Of Euro
pean capital.

Spain LiberoIizes Foreign Trade
And Provides for Fund Transfers
By ALBERTO ULLASTRES
Spanish Minister Of Cnmmerca


Investment of American cap
ftal in Spain is no novelty at
all. Many United States firms
have extended their activities
to our country, especially since
the second decade of this CEN
tury, and nowadays Spaniards
consider as their own enter
prises those whose headquarters
have an old and solid tradition
in America.
Experience has shown that
American managers and tech
nicians are in a perfect under
standing with the Spanish ones
with which they associate, as
well as with the workers in
their Spanish branches, with
out any friction troubling in
this sense the development of
business.
There is no doubt that such
enterprises must have met GER
tain difficulties, during some
time, for the transfer of the
profits to their headquarters.
But, these difficulties had
emerged from International
and national circumstances of
an exceptional nature after the
1936-l939 period. The picture,
however, has evolved in a
manner as definitive as favor
able, particularly since the start
of the Stabilization program.
1t seems convenient, there
fore, to inform the prospective
American investor on the op-
portunities that the new state
of the Spanish economy offers
him.
AS regards a possible export
Of capital to Spain, it is i'm
portant to emphasize specially
two key measures Of the sta
bilizing policy: The liberaliza-
ton of foreign trade and the
law for foreign investments.
Both Profit
The former measure intro
duces and consolidates the free
competition principle, secures
the stability Of the domestic
prices and the import of ma
chinery and spare parts in the
necessary amount. The foreign
as well as the Spanish investor
will get a real profit from all
this.
The present conjuncture be-
comes extraordinarily interest
ing sfor foreign businessmen,
that will find in our country |
uncommon opportunities for in
itiative and a firm basis in
terms both of security and
profit.
The foreign investor obtains
in Spain, comparatively, a.
higher income from his capital,
because of the lesser fiscal
pressure, than in any other
industrialized or half indus
trialized country. He can also
find technicians skilled and
able at the American level, and
managers that can meet the
challenge of their foreign COL
leagues.

at the same time, towards the
ever increasing Latin Ameri-

ern markets.
Import Law
The law for the import of
foreign capital into Spain is
the institutional covering of
the initiative and security
above mentioned. This law
means. in brief, a complete
guarantee for the business
men who decide to start or
extend business of any kind

Only 10 years ago, our ex-

still dominated by our "tradi-

and paper. Thus, in 194S,
nearly 80 per cent of our ship

products. In recent years, how
ever, our American market for
these goods has deteriorated
considerably as a result partly

BY GUNNAR LANCE
Swedish Minister Of Commerce

When considering trade rela-
tionS between Sweden and the
United States of America one
must keep in mind at least two
important facts.
One is that Sweden is a small
nation as compared to the
United States. Sweden's popu-
lation is only IA million, which
means that it has less inhabi-
tants than New York City.
The other fact which one
should not forget is that a
fiourishing foreign trade is
much more vital to Sweden
than to the United States. In
relation to population. Sweden's
exchange Of goods is among the
highest in the world. Our for
eign trade per capita is about
$500 a year. The corresponding
figure for the United States is
scarcely 5000. Sweden today ex-
ports about one fifth Of its total
production, while the United
States sells less than one twen-
tieth of its production to for
eign countries.
American trade with Sweden
is comparatively small. Slightly
more than per cent of the
total exports of the United
States goes to Sweden, and
Sweden's share in the United
States imports does not even
reach l per cent.
In SWeden's foreign trade. on
the other hand, the United
States represents, next to the
Federal Republic of Germany
and United Kingdom, the fore
most trade partner. Last year
the United States received
about 6 per cent of our total
exports and supplied nearly 10
per cent of the imports into
Sweden.
