Long Way From Trieste Peace
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
Displays of chauvinism on both

urging them to attain for more than
a year.

These diplomats have no idea
that Tito plans any overt action
regarding Trieste, and they dislike
any situation in which an ‘inci-
dent" could make the relations
between Italy and Yugoslavia

Stiffening Dollar Has Sent
Borrower's Interest Rate Up
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (P—Stiffening the
dollar has sent interest rates up.
Those who borrow have felt the
pinch and many have complained.
They ask: Who is profiting at our
expense?
The banks have benefited. See
their fatter earnings statements.
The banks are quite sensitive
about this. They go out of their
way to point out that the idea be-
hind putting some starch in the
dollar was to halt Inflation, and
not to benefit them and also that
the real beneficiaries have been
the nation's savers, some 122 mil-
lion individuals.
They are the ones who have life
Insurance policies, savings ac-
counts. savings bonds, annuities
and pensions, or own stocks, bonds
and mortgages.
The suppliers of money who are
now getting better returns, accord-
ing to Charles Clements, president
of the United States Savings and
Loan League, "are not wealthy fi-
nanciers or banks ...but the people
who save money.”
There are more savers than bor-
rowers, the New York State Bank-
ers Assn. says. But it cites a still
larger group, made up of those
who are both borrowers and sav-
ers. An example “The family reg-
ularly buying savings bonds while
at the same time financing the
purchase of a new automobile.”
The 20th Century Fund a non-
profit foundation for economic re-
search, is out today with a report.
"Defense and the Dollar " that
tackles the problem behind the dis-
pute over cheap or dear money.
It says the Federal Reserve Sys-
tem should try to win public confi-
dence in a policy which would con-
sistently make credit more readily
available in depressions and re-
strict it during periods of inflation.
It says the policy especially needed
now when our economy is "dan-
gerously loaded by defense require-
ments.”’

It lies south of the once-im-
portant port of Trieste and contains
a heavy Slovene population, as well
as some towns and small ports
which are primarily Italian.
The Port area itself, which once
served much of Central Europe,
is garrisoned by British and Amer-
ican troops, but its chief police
force is made up primarily of Ital-
ians. Italian control has “just
growed" until, in every way ex-
cept militarily, it is for all prae-
tical purposes a part of Italy.
Italy displayed excitement over
the week-end about Belgrade talk
that Tito might decide just to an-
nex Zone B without waiting for
any settlement.
Yugoslavia had given the new
Rome government a good opportu-
nity to holler “wolf" and then pro-
claim "We stopped ’em"
Allied diplomats pointed out that
Tito would hardly make a break
over rocky, barren Zone B. there-
by running the risk of trouble with
America, Britain and France who
have been giving him so much sup-
port, when he already bad control
anyway.
