Money plan to settle monetary crisis rejected
UK and Common Market nations rejected a U S compromise to settle the monetary crisis, insisting on dollar devaluation against gold while the United States refuses. The plan would have the G10 revalue currencies, including a 20 percent rise for the yen, and remove the import surcharge. The talks, led by Volcker and Connally, aim to realign exchange rates and avert a trade war as Nixon plans a China visit in February 1972.

House and Senate conferees must resolve differences before presenting to the president.
