Reasons for Restrictions on Dollar Imports Statement by Australian Prime Minister
The Prime Minister explains how Australia earned dollars by selling commodities to the United States but often spent more than it earned. For 1946-47 Australia received about 190 million dollars and spent about 290 million, creating a 100 million dollar gap. Britain provided dollars to cover the shortfall during the war era.

France Devaluation Sparks IMF Debate in London Conference
Washington July 25 44 P The International Monetary Fund refused to approve the new franc value set by the French government and warned it could hinder trade. St Camille Gate IMF managing director warned the devaluation might aid France while limiting broader economic cooperation among nations. France will remain a Fund member despite devaluation but may face future restrictions on Fund funding. The Times notes France’s move prompts questions about free exchange and possible shifts toward a freer market system while exporters may face new exchange arrangements through the official rate.
