World Currency Plan
Offered by Canadian
Finance Chief
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOC1ated FrcSS.
OTTAWA, July PA new post
war currency plan designed to facil-
itate international trade was offered
to the world today by Canadian
monetary experts.
The plan submitted to the House
of Commons by J. L. Ilsley, Canadian
Finance Minister, calls for creation
of an international exchange fund
with initial capital of $4,000. 900 900
and potential capital Of sl2,oo0,-
10000.
The Canadian suggestion follows
similar plans advanced by Ameri-
can and British sources.
The American plan, which ap-
peared April and had the backing
of the Treasury, and the British
plan, whose author was j. Maynard
Keynes, noted economist, and was
generally regarded as representing
the views of the British exchequer,
show important differences from as
well as many similarities to the
new Canadian proposals.
Differ On Control.
The Dominion experts envisage
creation of a new international cur
rency, so far designated only as
"the unit" and equivalent in value
to 1877 IT grams of gold (around
$40, American money!
The American postwar currency
plan called for creation of the
"unitas," of the same value, and
the British suggested the creation
of "bancor," a gold-backed cur
rency whose exact value was not
defined.
The most important difference
between the Canadian proposals and
those offered by British and Amer
ican experts, is in the matter Of
control.
The Canadian plan contemplates
nearly all the important postwar de-
cisions on monetary policy as being
made by majority vote OF the
members of the clearing union,
while the American plan puts most
crucial decisions to a four-fifths
vote, giving the big creditor coun-
tries, such as the United States and
Great Britain, "a virtual veto power
Based on Quotas"
Voting power in the Canadian
version of a world clearing house
will depend on quotas, A. initially
agreed on among the nations par
ticipating in the plan.
These quotas, which would also
determine the amount of funds each
country would subscribe to the in
terpational pool, will be determined
on the basis of the foreign trade
which each country does and on its
general economic position. The
formula for voting power Is not
closely defined in the document.
Like the British and American
plans, the proposals of the Canadian
experts are provisional and tenta-
tive in character" the announce
ment said.

tobacco Growers 10 Vote
On 1914 Quotas July "a
By the Associated Press.

The War Food Administration
said today farmers in the South
eastern flue-cured tobacco market
ing areas would vote on marketing
quotas for the 1914 crop or for the
three-year period l944-46 In a ref
erendum July "a.
The States in which the flue-
cured tobacco is produced include
Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama
The VIA said the date was in
accordance with trade and farm
leaders in the area. The marketing
quotas now in effect were voted
three years ago and recently a law
was enacted providing for the proc
lamation of quotas for the 1944-45
marketing year. The VIA said ma
tional marketing quotas and State
and farm acreage allotments would
be the same as in 1943, with similar
provisions for adjustments.

road leading to Maucini, 1h miles
from the beach. Maucini is an old
monastery on a hilltop and served
as an Italian barracks and ammu-
milton dump. The troops surprised
nearly 200 italian soldiers there and
captured the lot of them. Then
infantrymen went on to a coastal
battery mile farther north on the
same road. This was the one that
blasted at us on the way in.
Attacking With grenadeS, the
Canadians stormed the gun posi-
tions and knocked the battery out,
taking more prisoners. Troops of
an Ontario regiment by now were
also about three miles inland and
pushing ahead at top speed. On
the right flank a British formation
had equal success in landing and
taking out beach defenses. They
occupied the tip of the peninsula
and then, I believe, captured Pa
chino town. (The capture of Pa
chino was confirmed Monday some
hours after Mr.. Munro wrote this
dispatch, and was unof1icially cred
tied to British and Canadian forces)
Similar success was achieved on
the beach adjoining on the left,
wherever Vancouver and Winnipeg
regiments assaulted.
They practically walked in stand
ing up and inflltrated inland clean
ing out pockets Of resistance and
occupying high ground with British
troops on their left.
Bren Guns Drive Inland.
After half an hour on the beach
I began to trudge up the Maucinl
road. At the first turn I met a
batch of Canadians who had done
the initial assault and they told
me the first civilian they ran into
was a Sicilian who had lived in
Toronto for seven years. I went
to his hovel among knee-high grape
vines and confirmed this, He
claimed he could speak very good
English but would not tell me his
name.
Bren-gun carriers were ashore
now and they clattered along hard,
dusty roads up gentle hills on the
way to the Pachino area. Long
columns Of troops marched along,
following up the assault infantry.
The beach was conglomeration
of soldiers. vehicles. landing craft,
wireless sets and hand carts of
supplies.
There were still a few snipers
around and we walked along the
road cautiously. Bren carriers
passed us at top speed At Maucini
handful of Canadians were in
charge. Outside the courtyard of
the white stucco building were piles
Of italian steel helmets, ammuni-
ton pouches, rifles and machine
guns.
The area around Maucini was
quiet, but ahead there was firing
of small arms and we heard the
deep crump of mortar bombs. The
advancing troops had met some
opposition Two hundred italians
taken at Maucini were marching
down the road with three Canadians
escorting them. The guards were
having no trouble at all One
Canadian Communicated an italian
Army car and after fumbling with
the gears got it rolling and rushed
his section to the front. Between
Maucini and Pachino I passed two
Italian dead lying by the roadside.
