Dear Amit 
I have sent the paper to Paul Sweezy alth I have many doubts 
and hesitations - but after all he is not an unknown to me 
I am glad that we agree on the main point - that the Cambridge J urnal 
was n^t very f>rthc'ming 
I talked with a y-ung C'llegue here ab>ut >ur paper 
and lie made some c mments relating partly t y ur Table 3 on 
the Pur dollar market . The first two cplumns do not 
add up while the other sat culums do to the " total credit supplied" 
I knew that but I s meh >w f >rgot to mention it t ym 
The data f r 198n in the last three lines seer to be preliminary; 
my friend has from World Financial Markets Morgan Garantee Trust 
Company of Hew York the foil wing figures 
198) 
1981 
Total publicly anr unced Euro 
currency lending 
77 4 
133*4 
Of which to non Opec LdCs 
m 
33.4 
to all devel.Gentries 
35.1 
45.2 
Pleae check occasionally, My friend further asked why only bank loans 
were given He thinks that the bonds are for the greater part also 
held by the banks Shold one give them too, in a separate table 
or how? or do you disagree? 
He als' suggested it would be interesting to mention that s me 
devel pme t c untries like Mexico and Bras 1 are trying to 
create new Buroeenters on their territories partly in the h pe 
t pr fit from that as b rrowerd You mention Brasil and Mexico 
on p 15 b ttom 
Incidentally preliminary figures have given me troubles The British 
date in -^con-mic Trends are cmtinu-uly revised s that the last 
fig ; res(f -r 198 ) in Table 2 x turn out to be vastly exaggerated 
But still the trend remains as it was 
Let me kn nv occasionally 1 h po y u are in go id shape! 
, With best wishes 
Yours
