Unforl\mnbe—] ly, the proposal now announced for an $8,000,000,000 international stabilization fund misconceives the real nature of the problem to be solved. The text of the joint statement begins with the assertion: “It is the consensus of opinion of the experts of the United and Associated Nations who have participated in these discussions that the most practical method of assuring international monetary cooperation is through the establishment of an inter- national monetary fund.” On the contrary, the most practical method of assuring international monetary cooperation is through sound economic, budgetary, credit and currency policies within each nation. If these exist, a huge international stablization fund will be unnecessary. If these do not exist, an inter- national monetary fund, no matter how large, will be worse than ineffective. It could not, in the end, sup- port an unsound currency; but in attempting to do s0 it would drain part of the resources of the countries with sound currencies. To that extent it would make it more difficult for them to maintain their own soundness. A huge world stabilization fund of the type now proposed’ is no more than a method by which the nations with strong currencies make loans to the na- tions with weak currencies. Each nation will be at any moment & net creditor or a net debtor to the fund. To the extent that the loans go bad, the net creditors will be the net losers. When nations wish to borrow | abroad through private international channels, the private lenders, risking their own funds, can judge the probability of repayment with a purely business eye. They sometimes agree to make loans only if the borrowing country will change its economic or financial policies in this respect or that. Now, it is one thing for the private citizens to indicate distrust of a na- tion's currency; it is another thing for foreign gov- THE DAILY R i HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAY 15 Harry 1.

Both at home and | ,abroad the labor committee has recommended the basis for peace. f Aboad it sees the necessity for international organization, for continuing study, for force where | force, alone, can serve, for the basic freedoms, for al wider prosperity resting on lowered trade barriers | At home it reaffirms its faith in “democratic pur- | poses and democratic aims,” in freedom of enterprise as essential to freedom of labor, in the middle wayi between too great power of Government and too great ! power of unregulated private business, in the re-| sponsibility of labor as well as other groups for the | fund, to demand minimum internal financial reforms within a nation before they will lend that nation money. An international stabilization fund 'could increase the sources of international friction rather than reduce them The principal need for world currency stabilization | is sound internal policies in each country, not more international machinery. Each nation must want a stable currency enough to accept its necessary con- sequences. The greatest single contribution that the United States could make to world currency stability after the war would be to declare its determination to stabilize its own currency. It could do this ‘by balancing the budget and by announcing that the dollar was no longer on a “twenty-four-hour basis,” and subject to every rumor, but firmly anchored to a fixed quantity of gold. 'This would in turn give an anchor to other nations. Other nations also would have to give up their | faith in internal inflation as a cure for their ills. Our | London correspondent reports the existence of an in- | fluential body of opinion in Great Britain that “cur- | welfare of the “impoverished agricultural and indus- | nency stability would be gained at too high a cost | trial workers,” in good private as well as public hous- | « “ if the supply of currency be tied to a rigid ! ing, in cooperation between the unions and manage- | international standard when the internal situation ment to lower production costs. There is leeway in the program for disagreements between specific AFL unions and specific employers. Such disagreements must arise because of the very nature of the industrial society. The competitive | system, itself, rests on a certain amount of daily | jqeq that it is to its own advantage to devalue its @ major joy among these Taurus disagreement over prices and qualities, in which there | cyrrency and that it is hurting itself and conferring a |{0Ik. i is a stimulation to exertion, risk and progress. But if the AFL lives up to this program, at home | as well as internationally, there will be a lessening | of meaningless conflict, a move away from class tendencies which do not belong in America, a move toward more sober and controlled industrial ad- Justments A World Monetary Plan (New York Times) 4 Nowhere will international cooperation be more imperative after the war than with regard to national | demands a policy of expansion.” But a nation cannot |the augury of a year of extraordin- have currency stability and currency inflation at the | same time. Nor can it expect other natiens to under- | write its own expansionist policies by giving it a heavy | | drawing account on a fund to which they have con- {ably will be artistic, intellectual and | tributed. Each nation should give up the fallacious | favor on other nations when it does not. Each | nation should give up the fallacious idea that it gains | when it erects huge barriers to imports and loses | | when it lowers them; that it gains when it blocks its | currency or forbids its citizens to export gold, capital | {or credit. Each nation should give up the fallacious |idea, in short, that it gains when it makes economic | war upon its neighbors. | Not until this ideological reform is achieved will }curroucics be stable.
