Proposal for pan international bank urged by currency chief
In Atlantic City on June 25 Comptroller of the Currency Duke Orissinger urged the creation of a pan international bank based on the federal reserve system to fix exchange instability. He noted bankers may oppose it yet argued U.S. participation could ease the current dangerous financial situation and cited Argentina stabilizing its peso through a foreign trade unit and gold backing. He warned of gold inflow and insufficient export compensation risks to the United States.
