Dollar shortage
99
66
4 ,<*
<> &U4
What will it mean to American business men,
the American *farmer and the American worker and
miner if foreign countries stop buying as much goods
as they are now buying from the United States?
It is significant that on the average, every
tenth factory worker depends on exports for his
job: practically every other person engagé <ß in
the production of cotton or tobacco depends on
exports for his material existence ; and every
third or fourth wheat farmer is vitally dépende « i
on wheat exports . A sharp drop in exports will
directly affect the jobs and Income of all Amer
ican workers, farmers and business men.
The Wall Street Journal recently front-paged the grow
ing "dollar shortage" abroad which threatens to turn
into a dollar famine by the end of the year. The article
states:
It's a (dollar) famine that will hit the American
business man hard. U.S. exports currently equal
nearly 10% of national income...the top 10%
that could mean the difference between prosper
ity and trouble. Ready world markets had been
counted on to take up the slack as industry's pro
duction catches up with domestic demand.
In plain language, the so-called 'dollar shortage'
means that foreign nations are not producing and
selling to the U.S. enough goods to pay for U.S.
goods shipped abroad. In short, exports are siphon
ing American dollars out of world markets faster
than we pump them back by buying abroad. This
is the substance of a series of foreign economic
surveys being prepared for the White House by
the State, Treasury and Commerce Departments.
This year the experts figure that the United
States will export $15 billion of American mer
chandise. It will.buy only about $7 billion of
foreign goods. That means that U.S. customers
overseas will run a net deficit of about $8 bilnon
this year on their trade balances.
As one State Department official put it: 'If that
keeps up very long our customers will have no
money left to buy with.'
Currently foreign trade is again accounting for
more than 10% of total production. If it drops off
as much as 2 or 3 percentage points, the experts
say, it will cut a big swath through the postwar
prosperity... especially if the U.S. is already hav
ing a mild 'recession' at home.
To export profitably the U.S. must either keep
imports at a high level too, or else find some other
way to get dollars abroad. Otherwise, the foreign
customers simply run out of the means to buy, no
matter how badly they want American good&
The (dollar) shortage will become acute first in
the European countries, probably in the fall. The
sterling area and Latin America will be in real dif
ficulty next winter and spring, according to the
calculatidns, unless something is done.
What are we doing now to prevent this
sharp drop and the resulting unemployment in the
making? It is a certainty that this Nation, the world's
most powerful, cannot afford to sit back doing nothing
while the elements that make for economic sickness
are permitted to go unchecked.

Wè believe the Congress of the United
States should immediately take two broad steps to meet
the impending situation :
1. Develop an American program of economic in
vestment and assistance for other nations con
sisting of credits, grants, and the purchase of
strategic and critical materials in large enough
amounts to help these other nations to help
themselves in a practical way in their recon
struction so that they can effectively contribute
to the prosperity and peace of the world.
2. Develop an American economic and invest
ment program for the United States calculated
to increase our own national strength and
wealth through building and developing our
schools, our houses, our hydro-electric power,
and our other resources. For on America's
strength and prosperity depend the peace and
prosperity of the whole world.
r
The time for action is now. Delay i '
luxury that the American business man, the American
farmer and the American worker and miner, cannot
afford.
