THESE
DAYS

GO FAR. only the United
~ States has ratified the Bret
ton Woods agreement.
Forty-four nations attended
the conference at Breton
Woods and on July 2. 1914, they
signed the agreements.
But so far, 43 of them have
failed TO ratify.
The United States hopes that
after the loan agreement has
been arranged the British will
ratify Breton Woods. and hp-
parently the loan agreements
contain some arrangement OF
this nature.
When the Breton Woods
agreements were being ne
gotiated. the American people
were informed that the peace
and welfare Of the world de-
pended upon them.
Breton woods s formulated
two projects: An international
fund that would stabilize the
currencies of the world and an
international bank for recon
struction and development.
The plans evoked the most
widespread discussion, conserv-
ative bankers and economists
regarding them as unsatisfac-
tory; government authorities in
sisting that they were essential
for world rehabilitation.
The agreements were signed.
The United States ratified them.
The fund was TO have aggre-
gated SS.S00,000.000; the bank
was TO have had a capital of
$4,000, 100000 of which the ma
tions at Breton Woods were 10
have subscribed S9.100000.0O0.
The quota Of the United
States TO the fund was 81, $50,
100000; TO the bank. S3,175,-
100000, totahng approximately
5000, 100000 which Congress
voted and President Truman ap-
proved in August.

Gen. Macarthur was wearing

District 10 Be Eligible
For Hospital Grants
In New Senate Bill

The District as we'll as the States
would be eligible to participate in a
$ll0,000,000 grants-in-aid program
for construction of hospitals and
public health centers under the
terms of bill introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Hill,
Democrat, of Alabama for himself
and Senator Burton, Republican, of
Ohio.
Senator Hill said while the ma jor
portion of the construction sug-
gested would not be undertaken un-
til war conditions permit, it was
important for the States and the
District to start promptly on de-
velopment of plans.
Both private nonprofit and public
hospitals would be eligible for the
program. The types of hospitals
eligible for aid would include gen.
eral hospitals, tuberculosis and
mental hospitals, and those for
chronic disease patients.
The proposed program would be
administered by the States and SUI
pervised by the United States Public
Health Service. Senator Hill said
the plan had been indorsed by the
hospital associations of the country.
The bill calls for Statewide sur
veys to determine the need for hos
pitals and health centers and of
the State construction plans which
would tie in new projects with exist
ing facilities.
The proposed $110,0O0,O00 fund
would be used for surveys and plans,
for construction and to assist the
States and the District in supervis-
ing construction work.
