Lost Of q Series

United States tariffs. His op-
ponents contend the United
States must move in the op-
posite direction, toward import
restrictions, to alleviate bal
ance of payments problems.
The balance of payments is
a ledger of all United States
payments abroad and receipts
from foreign sources.
Plus and Minus
On the plus side are export
sales, foreign investments here,
income from American invest
ments abroad and other
sources Of revenue for the Gcv-
ernment and private individ-
uals.
On the minus side are i'm
ports, foreign aid. American
investments abroad, overseas
military spending and other
outlays.
The deficit represents the
excess of American payments
over receipts. 1t totaled $3.7
billion in 1859 and $3.9 billion
last year. This years deficit is
estimated by Government ex-
pertS at about $2,250,000, 900,
not counting special prepay
ments of debts by foreigners. If
these exceptional prepayments
are counted, the deficit is esti-
mated at slightly more than
SIS billion.
Rising Trend in '61
Although the 1861 total will
show an improvement over
1860, some officials are con-
cerned about the payments def
icit'S rising trend from quarter
to quarter so far this year.
At annual rates. the deficit in
creased from $1.4 billion in the
first quarter, to $1.9 billion in
the second quarter. to slightly
over SO billion in the third
quarter.
Despite this deterioration.
administration policy makers
expect the 1862 deficit to be
less than 1861 total, and pre-
dict the payments ledger will
be close to reasonable" balance
by the end of 1868.
This optimism is not, how
ever, the amin Gus view
among experts. Skeptics want
to wait and see how well the
administrations export drive
ami Bother measures take hold.
Run on Gold Stocks Possible
Large payments deficits are
dangerous because foreigners
can cash in the excess dollars
they earn for gold. They get
most of the gold, directly or
indirectly. from United States
Government stocks at the guar
anted price of $35 an ounce
plus service charges.
Government gold stocks de-
clined by $2.2 billion in 1858,
by Sl.1 billion in 1859 and by
SIT billion last year. So far
this year, stocks have dropped
by $79l million to a shade be-
low SIT billion-the lowest level
in % years.

Star Staff Writer

Worry over the United
States balance of payments
shows signs of bubbling up
again, but the Kennedy ad-
ministration is sure it can pre-
vent a new dollar crisis.
The key to this confidence is
optimism about prospects for
increasing American exports.
And that hopefulness is based
on President Kennedy's con-
viction that the world is NOV
ing toward freer trade.
He wants Congress to accel-
crate the liberal trade trend
next year by granting him
broad new authority to cut

Fear Retaliation
Liberal traders warn that
high United States tariffs
would provoke retaliation
abroad. They maintain that
any advantage gained by re-
ducing imports would be wiped
out quickly because foreign
countries would bar American
exports.
A high-tariff policy here, the
administration argues, would
result in economic stagnation
and could force the United
States into drastic action to
eliminate the payments deficit.
Officials warn that the
United States might have to
cut back overseas spending for
troops and foreign aid, push
rates up to levels that
would discourage economic

eral spending to balance the
budget at all costs and restrict
free movement of capital.
Eventually, the United States
might be pushed into devalu-
alton of the dollar, which would
undermine American economic
leadership and cause economic
chaos in the free world.

Greater Exports Is Key

problem lies in boosting

The little girls name is Hazel

ters and brothers at home who
miss her very much as she is
confined at ingalls, Memorial
Hospital in Harvey.
Hazel is g third grade student
at Turner Grade School ON 135th

she ran and played for the last

was struck b. an uncontrolled

greatly.
She was rushed to the hos

seven broken ribs and a dam

three other operations and may
