...more of it will have to do so. And, add U.S. officials grimly, it had better not find its way back to European pockets quite so often as has been the case in the past. (An example that still gravels Washington: in recent years the West German government has underwritten some $2 billion worth of West German sales to underdeveloped countries at terms so stiff-repayment in four years, 6% or more interest-that time and again the U.S. has been obliged to bail out the overcommitted debtor with a dollar loan...

In the hope that it would turn up marketable items, New York's Sterling Drug Inc. had just underwritten the four-year program for $240,000.

Following ex-Economics Professor Douglas' bent, the Democratic majority holds that policies to promote "vigorous expansion of the economy should not be unduly deterred by the possibility of future inflation...
Warfield went to Warwick at the invitation of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, which since the war has underwritten a mammoth musical program in the sparsely settled bush areas. The country currently has six ABC symphony orchestras. Every year they travel thousands of miles by train, bus, and paddle steamer to play in some 80 of the rachitic towns along the coasts and in the Australian outback. In addition, the Broadcasting Commission has sponsored bush tours by such world-famed soloists as Violinist Isaac Stern and Pianist Eugene Istomin...
