Of the Animal Protective Associa-

president and founder of the or
ganization, announced yesterday.
The Christmas Day storm inter-

is being resumed. Younger horses
are fed oats and corn with carrots
and apples, while the older ones
with bad teeth receive special soft
"molasses feed" Mr.. and Mrs. j. E
Thompson, Huntsville, Md, have
made up a list Of 80 needy horses
of worthy owners" Ten of these
have received their holiday fare;
the others will receive theirs before
New Year Day.
The recent snow and freezing
weather made even foraging in gar
bage pals difficult for alley cats,
Miss Sargent said. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson are assisting in giving
them special holiday treats, she ex-
planned.

By JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

The signing by 81 nations last
week of the Breton Woods protocols
providing for the International
Bank and International Monetary
Fund marks the beginning Of the
worlds greatest experiment In pool
ing funds for the common good of
humanity.
The dark days of the 1905 when
currencies skyrocketed so widely
that buyers in one country did not
know from day to day what goods
would cost them in another provided
the incentive for the fund. Need of
vast postwar reconstruction on a
world scale dictated the banks Gre
alton.
In the following article. an effort
Is made to set out the scope and
purpose Of the bank.
Under Control Of Board.
In accordance with the agreement
reached at Breton Woods, N. H.,
last summer, the eventual capital
of the bank, provided that all As
signatories of the agreement ratify,
will be $780, 100000. Of this vast
amount the United States will con-
tribute roughly one-third, or So
175,000,000. Next largest subscriber
is the United Kingdom, which has
pledged 1,300,000,000. Russia
which, SO far, has not signed the
final protocols-pledged the third
largest amount, or $780, 100000.
The bank will be controlled by a
board of governors, composed of one
governor and an alternate from each
subscribing country. Under the
board, which would pass only on
matters Of major financial policy,
will be at least IL executive directors,
five appointed by the members with
the largest quotas of capitalize
United States, United Kingdom,
Russia, China and France-and
seven elected from other members.
Also, the bank will have an advisory
council of seven members elected
by the Board of Governors. These
would include representatives of
banking, commercial, industrial,
labor and agricultural interests.
Directors Name President.
The president of the bank will be
selected by the executive directors.
However, in passing on loans and
other banking matters, the executive
directors will not vote per head" but
in accordance with the investment
in capital stock of their various
countries. If the full capital of
SO, 100000 is subscribed, there will
be 100000 votes.
The distribution is arrived at by
formula providing that each member
shall have $50 votes, plus one addi-
tional ballot for each 100000 of its
capital.
Assuming that the full capital is
subscribed, the United States will
have $4,000 votes, or 31.4 per cent;
United Kingdom, 1890 votes, 13 per
cent; Russia, 12,250 votes, IL per
cent; China, $3.50 votes, 81 per cent,
and France, ALSO votes, as per cent.
Some 80 small nations will have less
than l per cent of the voting power.
Reservoir in Reconstruction.
Two types of loans will be made
by the International Bank. It may
make direct loans for reconstruction
purposes up to 20 per cent of its
capital. During the first 10 years
Of the banks operations, these will
Evening star., 1945-12-30
be advanced at an interest rate of

be advanced at an interest rate OF
between and Ia per cent.
However, the main advantage of
the bank, according to economists,
will be in the field of guaranteeing
private loans which, otherwise, COM
mercial banks might not be willing
to make. Thus the international
bank serves not only as a direct re-
servoir of funds for reconstruction,
but is expected to stimulate lending
for this purpose from banks all over
the world, which, combined, will
have far larger resources than 1t has.
Loan Guaranteed by Nation.
Loans which the bank guarantees
or participates in may be made to
members. their political subdivisions,
or any business. industry or agri-
cultural enterprises within their
territories.
However, these private groups may
not apply to the International Bank
directly for a loan. Their applica-
tions must be filed through the
Treasury or Central Bank of their
own country, and the loan must be
guaranteed by a government or q
government agency.
One of the main advantages of
the bank will be its ability to pro-
vide foreign currency for purchases
which the lender might not be able
to obtain In his own country, even
though he could obtain a loan there.
Aid to Foreign Trade.
The following example Is cited:
Suppose a French concern wished
to build an industrial project costing
$10,000,0O0. 1t probably could obtain
from French banks 5000, 900 to pay
for labor and other commodities
purchasable iri the French market.
Assuming, however, that 1t was
necessary to spend the other $5,000,-
900 for machinery in the United
States and Great Britain, the Inter-
national Bank could either furnish
dollars and pounds directly, or guar
antee the firms credit to private
American and British bankers.
In this way the bank is expected
to be highly stimulating influence
on foreign trade.
The site of the bank has not yet
been determined. 1t will be decided
at the first meeting of the Board of
Governors, which probably will be
held in either late January or Feb
ruary. It is widely believed that 1t
will be located in the eastern part
Of the United States.
