Up at Breton Woods, N. H., rep
resentatives of As nations are dis
cussing the manner in which money
can be used to reconstruct q devas-
tated world. If the conference
agrees on basic plans. these plans
will be submitted to the government
of each participating nation for
ratification.
The conference has divided its
program into two parts. The first
calls for setting up an international
currency stabilization fund and the
machinery for translating the cur
rency of one country into the cur
rency of another without loss. No
insuperable difficulties are expected
to develop out of this.
The second part of the program
offers possibilities of more trouble
This contemplates an international
bank, with each of the member
nations contributing funds in
accordance with its capacity. Nat
urally that means a larger con-
tribution by this country than by
any other, with Great Britain and
Russia next largest. The funds
would be available for lending to
nations that need assistance.
Opposition Voiced.
Already the same publicists who
have opposed every important step
taken in the present war and who
opposed every important step taken
to rescue this country from the
worst depression in history, are
voicing their alarm Nothing but

pressed similar concern over the
fact that the United States is

the age-old willingness to spend for

BANKS Record CITED.
This big bank is one of those
with a none too pretty record in in
ternational finance. There are
plenty of people able to remember
the kind of bonds this bank un-
loaded on its customers in the lush
period of the middle 20s, bonds the
weak foreign governments had been
persuaded to issue, bonds those gov
ernments were never able to make
good. Many Americans can remem-
ber how this bank took it's per-
centage of profit and left innocent
American investors holding the
sack.
1t is possible that this bank is
looking forward again to another
such opportunity and sees a threat
to It's hopes in the serious planning
