Breton Woods monetary agreement
The government by decree cut the
value of the franc yesterday more
than one-half, fixing its rate at
119.10669 to the dollar and 480 to
the pound The franc had been
pegged at so to the dollar and 200

Foreign Minister Georges Bidault

before it voted for the Breton

members expressed a desire that the
French quota of $45o,OOO, 900 be in

artificial and prevented the French
from selling anything in the

Although decided on at a four
hour cabinet session Sunday, the
devaluation did not become effective
until publication of the decree in
the official government journal to-
day. Because of the devaluation
the government ordered the French
Stock Exchange to remain closed
until tomorrow.
The present devaluation is the
fifth IN nine years. During that
time the value of the paper franc
has declined steadily from approx
