British Expert Denies

Postwar Currencjes
Sir Frederick Phillips
ExpIoins Sterilization
Plon at Conference
D. the Associated Press.

D, the Associated Press.
Sir Frederick Phillips. representa-
tive of the British treasury in the
United States, denies that the Brit
ish plan for stabilizing. postwar cur
rencies would give his country the
dominant voice in q proposed inter-
national clearing union.
While conceding Britain would
have = "preponderAnce" OF votes in
the union. Sir Frederick told = press
conference yesterday it was quite
apparent his nation would not have
the deciding voice.
The British plan would apportion
votes on, the basis Of world trade.
While British trade in the prewar
era was substantial, he added. it
was only . fraction Of the total
world trade.
The American plan for postwar
stabilization, made public Tuesday,
would apportion votes on the basis
of contributions to 4 5000, 900 900
sterilization fund by member ma
tions.
Sir Frederick said the United
States gold supply would not be af-
fected by the British plan, but that
this country could buy "bancor," the
monetary unit proposed by the Brit
ish, for use in stabilizins world cur
rencies with gold and use the bancor
in world trade.
He expressed the opinion that the
United States and Great Britain to-
gether could put the British plan
into operation. Secretary of the
Treasury Morsenthau previously
told reporters that two-thirds of the
81 nations invited to discuss the
American plan would be needed to
put 1t into operation. Otherwise, he
said, 1T would not be worth while"
