In advocating that the United States
have veto power on the use of the dol
lars 1t Subscribes to an international
stabilizatiOn fund, W. Randolph Burgess,
president of the American Bankers As
sociation, warned the House Banking
Committee considering the Bret on
Woods agreements that as now drawn
these agreements might cause U n C e
Sam to be branded by the rest of the
world as Uncle Shylock."
He estimated that the money proposed
for the fund would last only three to five
years and then if the United States de-
clined to send more good money after
bad money by putting up more dollars
it would be blamed for wrecking the cur
rency stabiliZation machinery.
Now is the time to consider means to
avert such situation. After World War
| the United States put out about SO ,O00,-
100000 in credits to foreign nations in an
endeavor to stabilize exchange rates. re-
store industry and promote trade. When
this lending had to stop the boom bubble
burst in the depression of 1921. Extreme
care should be used in making our inter-
national monetary commitments to avoid
a repetition of the 1919-1921 experience.
