YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
New Dilemma Foreign Borrowing

One thing the country does
not need right now is an in
creased flow Of funds to for
eign governments and foreign
corporations taking advantage
Of the New York money and
securities markets.
But this Is Just what is hap
peningand the disturbing fact
is that Il has placed us in q
dilemma to which we see no
immediate tolerable solution.
Here's the situation.
Our gold hoard has been
shrinking steadily for years be-
cause Of Withdrawals by for
eign creditors. It's down to
under $t6.5 billion, the lowest
level since August 1899, and
week after week. dwindles.
At the same time, foreign
creditors Of the United States
have built up enormous short
term claims, totaling $23 bill
lion. against our gold reserve
because we have been spending
far more abroad than we have
been earning abroad. This
deficit In the balance Of pay
ments exists not because we're
importing more goods than
we're exporting; our exports Of
goods top our imports by IS
billion o year.
Explanation Offered
It exists because each year,
we spend billions for mainte-
nance Of military defenses
abroad, for aid to underde-
veloped countries, for tourist
travel overseas, etc. 1t exists
too. because we also sen d
money ebroad for long-term in
vestment-and that leads into
the disturbing rise in foreign
borrowing here.
Nowhere In the world can
governments or leading cor
porations raise so much money
so easily as in New York and
the temptation to tap this mar
ket Is very strong.
Until o few years ago. United
States investing institutions
shied from buying forein gov
ernment or foreign corporation
securities; too risky. Now
though;sthe growth Of other in
dustrialized nations and the
boom In Europe's Com m o \
Market have sharply changed
their attitude.
This year, there has been Q
flood Of foreign borrowings In
our markets: $50 million Aus
tralian bonds. 500 million
World Bank bonds. $50 million

Many Another Insight
The company at 811 Monroe

ogy Of pickle-eating since it be-
gan business 43 years ago.
Pickles are mostly for mid
die and lower income people"
declared Jacob Hickman, presi-
dent and secretary. "The rich
fellow Is always watching his
diet and stays away from them.
But we know working men who
will sit down to watch televi-
sion with a alf-gallon jar of
pickles at their elbow and eat
them like candy"

Pipeline Co., and coming to

munity bonds and SIS million

bonds.
The point is, that whenever
q United States institution buys
securities Of this type, the dol
lars go overseas to the borrower,
there is an outflow Of funds
and an addition to the already
serious deficit in our balance
of payments.
Reputation Is Important
We don't want to forfeit our
reputation as the worlds lead
ing financial nation. We can't
ignore this either. What do
we do?
Direct controls over the bor-
rowing - an obvious answer
have been ruled out. If we did
this, the holders Of those $23
billion of short-term claims
aginst our $16.5 billion gold
hoard might decide we were
getting set to slap on controls
generally - and the resulting
run on the dollar could bring
disaster.
A rise in interest rates high
enough to discourage the bor-
rowing has been ruled out too.
This would squeeze Unite d
States borrowers as well and q
further showdown in business
is what we must avoid.
Moral suasion' is being
used. Officials are telling for
eign government and. corpora
tions in plain words that we
don't favor excessive" borrow
ing now.
The basic answer lies In the
creation In other countries of
money and securities markets
on q scale where local capital
can be raised through local in
vestors. Only London has q
fairly well developed market for
raising capital as Of now.
It's a real dilemma. Mighty
little is coming easy to the
United States in this era.

Spellmon Residence
Hit; No Accident,
Detective Says

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (AP).-
A dynamite bomb exploded to-
day in the basement of Francis
Cardinal Spellman's residence
adjacent to st. Patrick's Ca
thedral in mid Manhattan. The
motive for the blast was un-
known.
Neither the cardinal, who
was asleep on the second floor,
nor anyone else was injured.
Police had speculated that
the explosive might have been
a firecracker device known as
a cherry bomb" but said in
vestigation disclosed that it
was a dynamite bomb.
The blast, heard through
nearby Rockefeller Center
shortly after 1880 am, broke
three basement windows in
the residence.
1T got me up" said the
cardinal as he went outside to
view the shattered windows.
Residence Is on Corner
The cathedral fronts on
Fifth avenue between East
Fiftieth and Fifty-first streets
and runs a full block back to
Madison avenue. The cardinals
residence is on the northwest
corner of Madison and Fiftieth
and connects with the cathe-
dral by a passageway.
The Roman Catholic arch
bishop of New York, bare
headed. came outside fully
dressed in his black clerical
suit and white collar and joked |
with newsmen while a light |
rain fell.
Asked If he thought the ex-
ploSion was kids prank, the
73-year-old preiate replied seri-
ously, What do you mean,
kids?"
He obviously was reminded
of an explosion that Clipped a
statue and damaged an organ
at st. Peters Basilica in Rome
last July IA. That was followed !
on September % by the dis
covery of two incendiary bombs
in st. Peters that forced its
closing until the second Vatican
council opens next Thursday.
Cardinal Spellman and his
aide, Msgr. Timothy j. Flynn,
information director of the New
York archdiocese, said they
knew of no recent threats
against either the cardinal or
st. Patrick's Cathedral itself.
Msgr. Flynn said he had no I
recollection of any bombings |
at the cathedral before.
Newspaper records bore him
out, but they showed that be-
tween June IA, 1948, and June
81, 1858, at least three threats
to bomb the cathedral were
made by one or more persons
described by police as cranks.
In each instance. no bomb was
found.
Cardinal Spellman told news
men jokingly that somebody
must have thought La Pieta was

proposal to bring the famed
