About 100 league members and guests heard Dr. Munk speak. Dr. Munk, a former presi dent of the World Affairs Council of Oregon, former ad visor to Radio Free Europe ana one oi those who pio neered the Great Decisions program, outlined some steps which this country can take lo stabilize the dollar. The speaker said the government can work to increase exports and bring about a more fav orable balance of trade; cut out some of the frills and reduce military expenditures abroad without impairing the program; examine with care our aid lo underprivileged countries and cease help where "it is just money down a rat hole;" discourage private capital investments in foreign countries which do not need it and in countries where it is in danger of being nation alized by governments, defer some travel abroad by Amer icans and encourage tourists from other nations lo come here. Encourage Tourists The speaker said that this country could encourage more tourists by liberalizing our passport and visa restrictions. Elaborating about private capital investments, Dr. Munk said that many underprivi leged countries have no pri vate capital in the sense that there is in this country, and said "it is unrealistic to ex pect private capital to flow n; aid in these countries should be through govern ments." This is at variance with league ideas, he added. Enlarging on the matter of examining foreign aid, the speaker said this country spcnl $3.2 billion on foreign aid in 1960 and added "it is not a question of how much is spent but how it is spent." He pointed out that 40 per cent of this has been for military aid, some of which was nol needed and some of which eventually helped the Commu nists. He gave Laos as an ex ample. "Economic aid is usu ally more productive," he de clared. Discussing this nation's mil itary expenditures abroad, Dr. Munk said that some of the other Western powers were now able to take over part of the military burden and should do so.- He said Western Germany has the "biggest military establishment in Eu rope now" and added that when France is able lo ter minate the expensive war with Algeria, that country will be able to supply NATO troops for the European de fense syslem. Dr. Munk said he believed the United Slates could supply atomic arms for the Western powers in Eu rope, while those countries supplied conventional arms and manpower. Increase Exports About the increase of ex ports, Dr. Munk declared that other countries must be en couraged to lower duties and remove obstacles lo imports from this country and added that league members could help to "put the heat on." He pointed out that considerable export business could be built up with the raising of standards in underprivileged countries and said many of these peoples are eager to buy U. S. products. Dr. Munk began his talk by speaking of the urgent prob lems now facing the world and declared that there are about 100 of the "new" coun tries and those struggling for independence. Part of these problems are only partly sol uble, he added, and said "it will take a tremendous amount of money and effort" Entitled "Christian Science: The Solution for Mankind's Entanglements" by Arch Bailey, C. S., of San Francisco, California Member of the Board of lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts SUNDAY MARCH 12TH 3:00 p.m. First Church of Christ, Scientist One Block South Nurjtrf MEDFORD Women's News to bring about the economic development of these coun tries and "we should be sat isfied with only a start." He spoke of the "little re cession" which started in the United States in 1958 'and said "it has now bloomed into a depressionette." Saying that unemployment figures are confusing and misleading, Dr. Munk explained that the na tion is now only about 90 per cent as productive as it should be. Measures which can be taken to correct this condi tion are, in some ways, at variance with those of aiding underdeveloped nations, he explained. "The problem of the United States dollar in part reflects our progress in aiding coun tries abroad," t he speaker said. "It is a measure' of our success in helping Europe to gel to her feet after the war. "Much of the outflow of gold is due to the fact that Europe has regained her po sition in world trade. Europe is now the magnet for money. Money is going from the United Slates to Germany, France and Italy, and in some measure to Japan." Europeans Work Hard Dr. Munk spoke of the re duction in our monetary gold supply, saying it has been reduced from $25 billion to $17 billion and gave fig ures on the corresponding in crease of the gold supplies of the European countries. He added that this was not com pletely due to United States aid and said "They work hard in Europe. Remember, the only source of wealth is hard work." He also pointed out that Europeans have bene fitted greatly from overcom ing their age-old prejudices and "getting together" to work out a common market and reducing t.'ade barriers between nations. Europe will eventually abolish all tariffs, Dr. Munk believes. The economy of "The Six" countries of Europe has grown faster than that of the Soviets, he declared, and said the economy of the U.S. right now is not growing at all. He explained that the United Slates has been buying from Europe "because they produce what we want cheaper than we can here" and added that this is due largely to lower labor cosls. "Our labor costs are serious, he stressed. Dr. Munk spoke generally in an optimistic tone, said 'some improvement is being shown in the nation's eco nomic woes and that we can solve our problems." During a question and an swer period Dr. Munk an swered questions about Presi dent Kennedy's "Peace corps plan" saying the idea is ex cellent but many pitfalls may develop"; about the spread of Communism; about the ad vantages of multilateral econ omic aid to underdeveloped countries as opposed to uni lateral aid, saying the former to be preferred and speak ing of the new Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development which is to give unilateral aid; about disarma ment saying that "work for disarmament will have lim ited success" and that because of tlie extremely high costs of present day arms, "we will arm less but it will cost more. Dr. Munk here branched off to talk about the value of a first rate education system and said "schools are our first line of defense; tit is is a bat tle of brains." Dr. Munk praised, the League of Women Voters for its usefulness in informing the public and said the league's publication. "Hard Choices" is the best exposition of the nation's economic prob lems generally available. "The American woman is fast be coming better informed than the men." he declared. Mrs. F. T. Burich introduc ed the speaker, and Mrs. Dun bar Carpenter presided. Christian of East Main Street ilitie Provided MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD.
