PARIS, June II (P.-Western
European nations have threshed
out a plan aimed at achieving
free convertibility of all their
currencies, but they did not
specify when they would with
draw their present money con-
trolls.
The program was announced
yesterday by Britain's Chancellor
of the EXchequer r. A. Butler.
1t was worked out by the finance
ministers of II countries during
a tWo-day meeting of the Coun-
Gil of the Organization for
European Economic Co-opera-
ton.
Because of dollar shortages
and trade imbalances, most
European countries keep a tight
rein on the exchange of their
money into other currencies.
Free convertibility is advocated
as means of boosting trade.
Problems Foreseen
Mr.. Butler told a news con-
ference that the ministers had
attempted to find advance solu-
tions to the complex problems
which will arise when Europe
moves closer to convertibility.
There was no decision as to
when any move might come
about to bring convertibility, P"
he added. That must depend
on certain conditions" He did
not explain what those condi-
tions were.
The ministers decided to con-
tinue for month the existing
