Fo|ger Favors World

0pen-End Credit
By EDWARD c. STONE.

The Breton Woods bank proposal
stands up under analysis but the
fund, with its automatic credit, does
not, j. Clifford Folger of Washing
ton, president of the Investment
Bankers Association of America
told a Boston audience last night
Sterilization of currency throughout
the world Is most desirable, the only
difference in opinion arising over
how best to promote it.
Mr.. Folger criticized what he
called the take it or leave it" basis
on which the Breton Woods none
tary proposals are being presented
to Congress, no room being left for
the consideration which should be
given to business arrangement of
this kind, he said.
Any plan approved by Congress
will receive as careful study by
other countries as any tentative
plan suggested at Breton Woods,
Mr.. Folger asserted Bankers are
not trying to sabotage" Breton
Woods, he insisted, as they realize
isolationism in banking is a thing
Of the past.
1t is from the monetary fund that
they shy away" The open end
credit" makes bankers shudder, as
1t would extend more or less over
draft privileges to countries
throughout the world, he concluded.
