...classic economic theory. Rapid economic growth should almost inevitably produce much higher export prices and the demand for more imports, both of which are damaging to a country's trade position. Yet Bonn has managed to keep its economy expanding with little inflation. West German Economics Minister Karl Schiller said in his annual report that the country's production grew by almost 9% in 1968 and should expand by another 6.5% in 1969-with inflation accounting for barely 2% of the rise in each year. As a result of that performance, the Germans registered a trade surplus...
...while those of the U.S., Britain and Bonn's five Common Market partners have increased by an average of 7 %. If Bonn were to peg the obviously undervalued mark at a higher price, it would relieve the competitive imbalance by making German exports more expensive and imports cheaper. Schiller, who still hopes to avoid revaluation, predicts that various other measures will help pare West Germany's trade surplus to $3 billion this year. Even that may not be enough to ease the monetary pressure...

International money men seem convinced that the next tinkering with the world's wobbly monetary system will involve a general realignment of most major currency values. One tip-off came last week from Karl Schiller, West Germany's increasingly influential Economic Minister. In a TV interview, Schiller substantially hedged Kurt Kiesinger's month-old promise that "the mark will never be revalued while I am Chancellor." That promise, said Socialist Schiller, binds the German government only until next September's national elections. More important, he added, it applies only to an isolated German move to raise...
Later in the week, probably worrying that his remarks might start a new flurry of currency speculation, Schiller tempered them a bit. He said that "there is no question of revaluing or devaluing right now," but that there might be a general realignment of Western currency parities in 1970 or 1971. Many continental financiers figure that values may have to change long before that-perhaps by next spring-unless the economic austerity programs in France and Britain sharply reduce the pressures on the franc and pound. Last week both currencies rallied a bit in international trading. The pound gained after...
