YOUR MONEYS WORTH
Payments Cop
Grows Grimmer

About the middle of August,
the Government is expected to
issue a report on a grim eco
nomic problem facing this
Country today.
The report will disclose that
in the first half of 1868 we con-
tinued to spend more abroad
than the rest of the world spent
here and that our international
accounts so far this year are
much worse than in the same
period of 1862. Because OF the
persistent deficits we are run
ming year after year in oul
balance of payments, foreign
creditors are building up large
dollar claims against the United
States which they can convert
into our gold any time they
wish. The deficits in 1862 and
1861 were lower than in 1860,
but despite all our efforts to
pull our accounts into balance,
this year we have fallen back
There is no way to avoid an
additional drain on our gold re-
serve, already below SIG billion
the lowest since 1899.
The ability of the Unite q
States to maintain the stabil-
ity and integrity Of the dollar
is constantly questioned as q
result of these trends and the
August report could heighter
alarm among foreign holders Of
dollars and dollar obligations.
Drain is Cited
There is no exageration here
There isn't one informed indi-
vidual in or out of Government
who doesn't admit the serious
ness of the situation. In finan
cial capitals around the free
world, the concern is equally
deep, for the United States Il
banker to the free world. Tit
dollar is the pivot around which
the free worlds currencies re-
volve.
In the first quarter Of 1868
the deficit in the balance o.
payments ran at an annual rat
of 80 billion, against an actua
deficit of $2.2 billion in 1862
The deficit for the second quar-
ter, which ended at midnigh
last night, cannot be guessed
yet but there is no question
that 1t was above the $l.8 bill
lion recorded in the same pc
Rod of 1862. In April-June las
year, we received a windfall II
the form of $500 million influ'
from Canada prior TO the fl
nancial crisis which forced de
valuation of the Canadian dol
lar last June. Last year, foreigl
governments also repaid almos
$l.3 billion Of United State
postwar loans. We have receive,
no similar bonanzas this yeal
A first central fact is tina
the red ink is not due TO on
buying more goods abroad tina
others buy here. On the con
trary, in 1862 our merchandis
exports topped our imports b
$4.5 billion and we're running
a surplus gain this year.
The problem is due to the fac
that we're spending so mucl
more than our $4.5 billion trad
surplus in other areas.

To put it simply, we're run
ming a deficit in the balance
of payments, and thus United
States dollars and gold are
flowing into the reserves OF
other countries because:
The Government is spending
huge amounts for military de-
tense, economic development
and foreign aid abroad. United
States firms and individuals are
investing billions in plants and
equipment overseas. United
States tourists spend much more
overseas than foreign tourists
spend here. Foreign borrowers
are coming into the great cap
ital market of the United States
to raise funds, and when United
States investors buy their new
bonds, United States dollars go
to the foreign countries.
Money is going abroad as
pensions to retired employees liv-
ing outside our borders, pay
mentS by United States citizens
to friends and relatives in for
eign lands, private charitable
contributions (such as CARE) i.
Short term capital - hot
MONEYS continuing to go to
foreign financial centers where
interest rates are higher and
consequently the money can
earn more.
Years Of Deficits
Since 1850, the United States
has had a deficit in its balance
of payments in every year ex-
cept 1857. when the closing of
the Suez Canal sharply in
creased our exports. The out
come has been an almost UNI
interrupted erosion of the
United States gold hoard back
ing the dollar.
OF course, we have been at
lacking the problem on many
fronts, ranging from drives to
expand exports of goods to the
creation of elaborate technical
defenses to curb the actual
drain on our gold hoard. But
that mid-August report still will
be starkly bad news.

agreed with the lower court
ruling against the county unit

court that said the disparity
