Senators urge backing U.N. seat for Nationalist China
Nineteen senators led by James L. Buckley urged preserving Nationalist China’s United Nations seat and warned that expelling the Republic of China while admitting the Peking government would force a reassessment of U.S. financial and moral support to the U.N. The statement, backed by multiple Republicans and a few Democrats, stops short of promising action but presses for continued ROC support amid China policy debates.

New plan to tie dollar to SDRs under IMF proposal
Britain’s Chancellor Anthony Barber proposed a bold reform to redefine currencies in SDR terms instead of gold, aiming to ease global surpluses and deficits, boost international control, and gradually shift reserves away from gold and dollars toward SDRs. He cautioned it is a longterm plan with wide approval but uncertain timelines. The idea drew support from Japan and Italy, amid IMF talks and potential countermoves to US import policies. West Germany hinted at a painful reappraisal of its policy if needed.
