DOLLAR SHORTAGE
JEOPARDIZES U. S. TRADE
n? need of the world for Ameri
ca* dollar* and the United States'
need for world markets are rapidly
approaching a junction that may
force a special session of Congress,
promote the Marshall ITan, affect
the pending tax bill, and have far
reaching conaeqosnces on nearly
every phase of this nation's economic
life.
The fact is that the world seems
to be ruaring out of dollars.
This key economic fact affects the
forthcoming conference of European
powers, minus Russia, on the Mar
hall Plan. It affects countries out
side of Russia, like Mexico?the lat
est to damp sodden restrictions on
American export goods because of a
dollar shortage.
In the domestic field, the workd
dollar shortage affects Ultimately
such matters tm the effort to cut tax
es by *4,000,000,000 and to balance
the budget simultaneously. Tor it is
more and more seen that to meet the
world's dollar shortage and continue
the present extraordinary peacetime
export of goods, on which American
boom-time prosperity is increasingly
dependent, foreign credits are neces
sary. Whether credits can be grant
ed, taxes cut, end the budget balan
ced?all three simultaneously?is one
of the strongest questions raised in
connection with President Truman's
forthcoming second veto of the tax
reduction bill.
The latest report of the Presi
dent's economic advisers will stress
international matters and their ef
fect on American prosperity, as nev
er before.
Either make available more dollar
exchange to the outside world, or see
American exports slump with a con
sequent threat to the present boom.
lets/ say
Well-informed ecSkisraistSy say the
whole story is eg simple as that
Put arithmetically, present export
rate of United States goods and ser
vices is seen at $19,600,000,000; im
ports at *7,600,000,000.
The excess ratio of American ex
port over imports has grown^steadily
since January
The sodden Mexican decision is one
more of the warning premonitory
cracks that come, like those before s
tree falls down, as increasing fo
reign dollar shortage precipitates a
crisis.
It comes hardly a week after the
British Government was forced to
impose its own super-austerity -re
strictions on American imports be
cause of the same shortage of dol
lars.
The dollar shortage is the same for
Mexico as for Britain; the same all
over the world. Foreign nations are
not selling enough goods to the
United States to get the dollars they
need to buy the American goods they
wast?and must have?for recovery.
The only way in the present emer
gency that the world can get these
iioBaa is for new credits to'be ex
tended to them." Ultimately they can
