THE EVENING STAR,’ WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1940, Benefit Showing Pen Women to Hold |Mr. and Mrs, Smith Speaker. Sees Extension of Latin Credits Woman Democrats Hear Correspondent 'At: Luncheon The European war now being waged in Scandinavia will effect an extension of new credits to Latin American countries by the United States, predicied Leon M. Pearson, Washington correspondent and stu- dent of international affairs, before the Woman’s National Democratic Club luncheon yesterday. Latin American credits, he said, will be extended through funds from the Export-Import Bank out of the commitments of $55,000,000 made two months ago to Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Already there is evidence, he continued, of the new lending—Chile to get $12,- 000,000, Colombia $10,000,000, Pan- ama between $2,000,000 and $3,000,- 000, while credits are regularly go- ing out to Brazil. Although a record of default on Latin American dollar bonds will give the appearance of further credit sending good money after bad, the Government defends its new lending, said Mr. Pearson, with the argument the default situation is improving. He pointed out that Chile resumed payment two years ago, that Colombia resumed on a temporary basis this year, and that Brazil and Panama within the last month have announced plans for resumption of payments. The cred- its are going to these debt-honoring countries for the most part, he wdded. The dislocation of trade brought about by the war, said Mr. Pearson, presents a new opportunity and a new obligation to strengthen trade relations bteween the Americas. All the Americas have lost European markets, he asserted, and must de- pend more upon the exchange of goods with this hemisphere. Cred- its, he continued, are required to stimulate this trade and to develop products in Latin America which can be sold here within coming into competition with our own goods. Thus far, said the speaker, the United States Government credits to Latin America have been linked to the export of United States prod- ucts, have been short term or medi- um term credits and are being cur- rently repaid. The latest move, ac- cording to Mr. Pearson, is to take the step beyond commercial credit to political loans. “It remains to be seen,” he said, “whether the leftists, who urge this policy, will prevail, and if they do, whether that kind of money will ever come back again.” Mrs. D. Tucker Brown, president of the club, presided at the lunch- eon, and the speaker was intro- duced by Mrs. Arthur D. Condon, / Local D. A. C.
