CONSTANTINE BROWN
Kennedy Proposals on Outflow Of Gold
Called Both Realistic and Unre0listic

President Kennedy is at
tempting to narrow the dol
lar gap and slow down the
outflow Of American gold to
foreign countries by legisla-
tion-some Of which is real
istic, while other parts ap-
pear unlikely to be sue
cessful. In any event he and
his administration appear
fully aware Of a problem
which the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration had swept under
the rug.
Travellers to Europe and
the Far East have become
painfully aware in the last
three years Of the loss Of
prestige" Of the dollar,
which is nowhere at q pre-
MUM any longer. But Of
more concern has been the
fact that American goods,
especially typewriters. sew
ing machines, automobiles,
transistors, and other dura-
BILE products, are no longer
a monopoly as in the days
before the war. They now
have taken a second or third
place behind German, Ital-
ian and Japanese products
in world markets.
There is no question that
reversion to the 500 indi-
vidual free import allow
ance for tourists returning
from abroad instead Of the
existing $500 will reduce the
outflow Of dollars by sew
eral hundred million q year.
AS q matter Of fact, the $500
limit has been nominal.
Every tourist is permitted to
send additional duty-free
gifts to his friends to the
value Of $40 each. Most trav-
elers avail themselves of this
privilege to the tune Of about
$50 each. This last concession,
according to estimates, alone
permits an outflow Of abo1t
$75 million q year. President
Truman ordered these privi-
leges at o time when there
was q serious dollar short
age abroad.
To slow down the outflow
Of tourist dollars, which &C.
cording to some sources ex-
ceeds 81 billion Q year, 1t is
being suggested that a change
be made in the tourist cred
1t system adopted by travel
agencies and international
carriers. At present a down
payment of 10 per cent per-
mits Americans to provide
not only for transportation
but also for all other ex-
penses such as hotels. guides,
local buses. and food abroad.
The balance Is payable over

20 months. A substantial
number Of travellers who nor
mally could not afford to
pay for a trip abroad in one
slice can indulge in what q
few years ago was considered
o luxury.
Regulations such as those
covering down payments on
automobiles could remedy
this situation. While it would
be unwise to interfere with
International travel by ban
ming the installment plan,
there could be no harm If a
IS or 80 per cent down pay
ment were required and the
time limit reduced to IL
months. Some unofficial esti-
mates show that by thus re-
ducing the tourists import
bonanza and by limiting the
time purchase Of travel
abroad, the Nation could
stop the outflow Of more
than 81 billion q year. This
would not harm seriously
the European nations where
touriSm has become an i'm
portant factor, since travel
for pleasure by non-Ameri-
cans has become important
all over Europe.
The suggestion that we
spend some IS million to en-
courage European travel to
America is mostly wishful
thinking, and q mere public
ity campaign Of Come and
See America" coupled with q
drastic revision Of the pass
port regulations for visitors,
will be Of extremely limited
assistance. The fact Is that
the cost Of travel, food in res
taurants, hotel accommoda-
tions in our main cities, and
worthy sightseeing places is
so high in our country that
only those foreigners with
more than an average income
can afford such luxury. Thus
