...policy bears the imprint of Commerce Secretary Maurice Stans, who calls it the first "fullscale attack" against "covert forms of protectionism which discriminate against American exports." In a talk last week to the National Foreign Trade Convention in Manhattan, Stans also promised U.S. exporters additional measures of practical aid. One would add some $750 million to the Export-Import Bank's funds. Exporters can now borrow only limited amounts at the bank's 6% interest rate, and must finance the rest of their sales with private loans at 9% or more.

Even in Southern California, where department-store sales are generally up, one discount-store manager, Paul Hulse of Redondo Beach's Hartfield-Zodys, detects a downturn in sales of color televisions, luxury refrigerators and stoves. To meet the competition of discount stores, Sears, Roebuck has opened some 175 of its 825 stores for business on Sunday. Retailers-and automakers-can take heart...
...One problem in carrying out the new "Pauline policy" is how to keep the Vatican's income high while rearranging its portfolio. Accordingly, financial men expect the church to invest more funds outside Italy than it has in the past. By adopting a low domestic profile as a capitalist, the Pope hopes in time to erase the "Vatican satellite" image from Italian companies...
