Siles gave full credit to Bolivia's economic-stabilization program (based on the recommendations of U.S. Economist George Jackson Eder) for saving the country "from disaster." He pointed to the help that Bolivia is getting in U.S. technical cooperation for health, education, agriculture and roads. Siles put U.S. dollar help at more than $23 million for the fiscal year-plus an emergency $2,000,000 for Bolivia's drought-parched farm areas. He praised the "evident spirit of international cooperation" demonstrated by the $25 million currency-stabilization loan granted last December by the International Monetary Fund...

House Cleaning. The stabilization loan announced last week came about after Bolivia, in despair, got the services of a U.S. consultant named George Jackson Eder, legal counsel for International Telephone & Telegraph Corp. and an old Latin American hand. The sum, equal at the present 10,000-to-$1 boliviano rate to nearly double the value of the 140 billion bolivianos now in circulation, should be enough, if carefully fed into the dollar market, to roll the boliviano well back. The experts guess that the boliviano's realistic rate will turn...
