Bretton Woods Plan Passes House. Senate Consideration Looms
The Bretton Woods proposal clears the House 345 to 18 and awaits Senate action. It creates the International Monetary Stabilization Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development with a $9 billion bank capital and $8.1 billion in gold and currency for the stabilization fund. The United States contributes 28 percent, with corresponding voting power, to stabilize currencies and fund reconstruction while preventing economic warfare and costly postwar mistakes. Washington visitors include Forrest Kyle and Mayor Earl Medcalf, among others, discussing water projects and naval ties amid graduation and wedding ceremonies at Annapolis.
