Europe's Recovery In Poet War Year

By I085 MUNIO Oanndiln Prose Staff Writer

BRUSSELS, Dec. 11 —(CP) — Zn the first full year of peace, Eur- ope has made only spotty recovery and massive economic difficultlbl‘ plague practically every country.

Germany, in defeat and ruin at the heart of Europe, continues to create the most critical problfml. Four-power control of the Rcich has not been a notable success. The Potsdam agreement that Germany be treated as an economic whole has not been carried out. Britain and the United States, by an econ- omic merger of their two zones. have sought to apply this principle of their own. but Russia and France will not co-openate for various rea- sons.

There have been differences over economic policy between the Sov- iet control authorities on one hand and the British and American on the other, on subjects ranging from the level of German production to removal of factories on reparations payment.

Only limited progress has been made in getting Germany's indus- tries going and the situation i-n the Ruhr-on which many Europ- ean countries depend for coal end steel-is desperate.

Adverse Effect

Confusion and instability in Ger- many has had an adverse effect on the whole continent.

In Austria. the other four-power occupied country, economic condi- tions are better than in Germeny. but there are still plenty of prob- lems hoth for the Vienna govern- ment and the control authority.

Italy made more progress to- ward recovery in i946 than was generally anticipated. but has a long way to go before industry can absorb the large number of un- employed and trade is resumed on a profitable scale,

The economy of Greece is in a pitiable state and will depend for its comeback to a large extent on assistance ln loans, credits and trade with western countries.

Within the Soviet sphere of in- tluence in eastern Europe‘, Czecho- slovakla has done the best job in industry. commerce and finance. Her nationalization scheme nae progressed and production and trade are steadily increasing. Er-lm- omic troubles are grave, however, for Poland. Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary.

In western Europe, France has tried stubbornly through the year to mend her economic fences and has made considerable progress; but distribution problems, the black market, currency instability Ind scarcities harry the nation. ‘High hopes are bei-ng placed on new economic understanding with Brit- an.

Belgium has led all Europe in her economic revival and ir al- most as prosperous today as thei hountlful neutrals-Switzerland rrld Sweden. But Brussels is concerned at the extremely high prices in the country. particularly as they affect export trade. To holster export saDs, currency devaluation may be used, but a desperate Battle is being waged to keep the Belgian franc at its presen‘. level.

Holland is not far behind Bel- gium and these two countries, with tiny Luxembourg, are gradually forming an economic and customs \inlon-—an alliance which must have a brond inﬂuence on Europes rc- onomlc life.
