It can be tailor- made to provide both incentives to investors and the elimination of those obstacles which make foreign capital investment unattractive in many countries. It can be selec tive, Any country desiring to at tract private funds from any one or a number of certain countries would not have to give the same benefits to every other country. Moreover, the capital-importing country could retain control over such problems as the corporate or partnership form of investment and also could specify fields in v/hich funds are to be invested, “In summary,” Mr, Firestone concluded, “let me say that a com bination of developments, largely still in the making, in my opinion, indicates the possibility of a more substantial growth of opportuni ties and stronger inducements in the field of private investment than in many years. Whether or not these conditions will have a constructive effect on capital-deficient countries and the broadening of world trade will de pend upon the political, economic and financial leadership of the countries which would benefit most. Let us help them realize the opportunity that exists and adjust their investment climate to capital ize on it. If they do, we can look forward to the broadening of in ternational markets and more prosperous economic conditions in the free countries of the world.” Miss Sybile Ray Student Leader BILL DILLING, son of Mr. and Ml'S.
