Bradley beam., 1945-05-05

After the last war, faced with somewhat similar situation, we att tempted to solve the dilemma by lending other nations the money with which to buy our goods. That worked, after a fashion, for a while. But, since we erected tariff bar riers which prevented other nations from selling us imports, those na tions were unable to get the neces- sary dollar exchange with which to repay the loans.
 For a short time after this war it again will be necessary to lend economically underdeveloped na- tions and those nations devastated by war substantial amounts of money to help them to get back on their feet. That's where the Inter- national Bank for Reconstruction and Development comes in. This is World Bank, to which each nation will contribute a portion of the capitol (based largely on relative wealthy. The bank will, after care full investigation, guarantee ap- proved loans by private bankers for projects which will aid in the eco homie rehabilitation or progress of the nations of the world. In excep- tional cases, the bank also will make direct loans if private lend CTS are unwilling to assume that responsibility and the projects for which the money is sought are de- sirable for policy reasons. ;.
 Any losses which developed from these transactions would be spread among the member nations of the World Bank in proportion to their contributions to it's capital. In that respect, it would resemble insur- ance. But the Bank would in no sense be a charitable institution. The loans would be made with the expectation that they would be re- paid. During the depression, the United States created somewhat similar institution for purely do- mestic purposes-the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation, which loaned money to business enter prises, industries and banks when they were unable to obtain it from private sources. Most of the money loaned by the REC has been repaid, with interest.
 In addition, the Bank would be authorized to lend money only up to 1OO@o of it's capital, although

May coming in with a BANG with a week full of events, and an other still to come. First came the Administrators Club Luncheon at the Officers Mess, then the Blood Bank, and throughout it all we were deep in the 7th War Loan Drive, and the excitement of won dering and waiting for VIE. Day. Never a dull moment, which has always been the case, but especial ly so during this past week.
 Lots of visitors too, Captain Hall, Civilian Personnel Officer, and MT. Martin, Chief Clerk, came down from Westover Field; then there was a return visit from Major Mosher and Major Ford from Washington.
 We are all going to miss Mrs. Catherine Moral, Civil Service Rep resentative, who has been coming down to Bradley Field every week for almost two years to answer questions and help our employees. Due to ill health it has been neces- sary for her to resign her position. Her resignation became effective this week. Our very pest wishes go with her, and it is the hope of us all here on the Base that she may be able to return to her work again. SOON.
 As for next weeks events, top billing goes to the Dinner Dance, to be held at the Sheraton, in Springfield, Mass, on Tuesday eve ming May eighth. Many reserva- tions have been received already, and large attendance is expected by the Committee in charge. You will be delighted to know that Al Strohman's well-known band will

private banks customarily take more leeway. This safeguard also would reduce the possibility of major loss.
 Those nations which have been devastated by war and which are struggling to progress economical ly it is anticipated would use the funds thus made available through the World Bank and whatever other funds they were able to obtain, to buy the heavy machinery and the capital goods necessary to estab- fish industries of their own. But, in order to repay the loans and raise the living standards, and incidental ly the purchasing power, of their peoples, they would have to sell some of their own products in the markets of the world, i. e., they would have to have some method of obtaining the currency of the nations with which they wished to continue to do business, and to whom they owed money.
 That's where the International Monetary Fund enters the picture. It is designed to give all member nations access to the currency of other member nations if conditions arise where they are not able to ob- tain it through the ordinary chan nels because of difficulties which often are temporary.
 This opportunity would remove one of the Instructions to the free flow of trade and would help to promote greater volume of world trade, which the advocates of Bret ton Woods are convinced is essen tial for prosperity and peace.
 Here's how the International Monetary Fund would seek to ac- complish it's objectives. Each nation would be asked to contribute por- tion of it's currency to world pool under the supervision of the Fund. Of each nations contribution, 25G6 would be in gold and 75@o in it's own currency.
 Then, each nation would be re- quired to do 4 things: First, each nation would be required to define the value of it's own currency in terms of gold. . to say how much each unit of it's currency was worth in terms of a unit of gold, which would be a common denominator for all currencies. Second, each na- tion then would be required to keep

Specifically, the Breton Woods agreements are a series of propos- als agreed upon by monetary and financial experts of A nations last summer They are based upon more than three years of earlier study and discussion. The agreements call for establishment of CD an Inter national Bank of Reconstruction and Development and (2) an Inter- national Monetary Fund.
 In order to better understand the functions and need for these in stitutions, it may help to consider the almost certain plight of the world at the end of this war. It is a picture etched, largely, in black and white. ::@ :...:.
 On one side there will be millions of people in nations which have been devastated by war who will be without even the necessities of life-in some cases without even food. In these countries, the job of reconstruction will be tremendous.
 Physical facilities, such as houses, bridges, power plants, water works, railroads, harbors, factories, etc., must be rebuilt. And there are ad- ditional hundreds of millions in countries which although not ex- tensively damaged by war have, through the years, remained eco- nomically underdeveloped. These people and nations represent a great potential market. They need practically everything.
 On the other side, there are a few great powers, such as the Unit ed States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union, which have substan- tially increased their productive capacity because of the demands of war. On one side-millions who are willing and eager to buy whatever we can sell. On the other-a pro- ductive capacity capable of doing much to satisfy these wants. The problem is how to bring the two together-how to give these poten- tial customers the necessary pur- chasing power to buy our products. There's nothing altruistic about this on our part. In order to main tain prosperity and full employ ment at home, it is absolutely es- sential that we have a market where we can dispose of our sur plus production of many commodi- ties.

 What are the Breton Woods agreements and why are they con- sidered so important to the future peace of the world?
 Perhaps Dean Acheson, Assistant Secretary of State, has put the case for Breton Woods most succintly.
 Breton Woods, he says, is to the economic and financial fields what Dumbarton Oaks is to the political and military fields.
 In other words, Breton Woods is an attempt at international organ ization and cooperation in the field of money. It is a vital part of the broad program to assure the peace perhaps the most vital part. Dean Acheson says the Breton Woods agreements must be the heart of any world security organization if that organization is to succeed.
 Upon the general acceptance by the nations of the world, of the principles and rules of conduct out lined at Breton Woods, many of the worlds leading financial and economic experts believe, will de- pend, in a large measure:
 The future prosperity, not only of the United States but of the world, which, they insist, are in- terdependent.
 Realization of the goal of full employment in the United States.
 Jobs for all returning servicemen and for civilian war workers.
 The maintenance of peaceful re- lations among nations.
 The Breton Woods agreements are based upon the concept that only through tremendous increase in the production of wealth, in null ti-lateral world trade and the rais- ing of the living standards of all peoples, can we have any hope of peace. .~.::
 The nations of the world, the ad- vocates of Breton Woods say, in effect, have the choice of working together in the economic and finan- cial felds-not however without some sacrifices their common good; or they can Ego it alone, ," with each nation concentrating on a brutal struggle for survival at the expense of the others in an economic jungle where the ultimate solution of difficulties and disagree ments in the past always has lain in violence and war.

the value of it's currency at all times within 196 of the defined value. Third, each nation would pledge itself not to indulge in cer- tain practices regarded as destruc- tive, such as establishment of re- strictions which would prohibit use of it's currency for current trans actions or prevent it's currency from leaving the country. Fourth, if a situation arose where a nation was forced to change the value of it's currency, recognizing that 1t was a matter which concerned all nations, it would consult with the Fund before making the change and obtain the Funds permission.
 Because international finance is one of the most complicated, and to the layman, mystifying, of all the activities with which men oc- cupy themselves, the machinery by which all this is worked out is pretty technical. But those are the essential principles. ..@.=
 After the Fund is ready for operation, if member nation need ed to obtain the currency of an other nation in an emergency, and was unable to obtain it through the ordinary channels, it could purchase that nations currency from the pool created by the Fund at the ratio of values fixed by the 2 na- tions when they defined their cur rencies.
 Critics of the Fund have declared that this provision would enable nations with relatively unstable funds to draw too heavily on the fund-to obtain, for instance, our dollars which they could not pay back. A partial answer to this is the provision that, if a nations cur rency is not purchased by any of the other members of the Fund within a stated period of time that nation must buy back it's own cur rency. Therefore, any advantage it could obtain by exchanging it's own currency for what it considered the more valuable currency of another nation would be only temporary. Finally, the advocates of Breton Woods say, the agreements repre- sent the best they can do up to now. They don't claim the agreements are perfect. They are sure they are not. The way is open to future amendment.
