BRETTON WOODS
Sir,—As there are some divergent opinions about the Bretton Woods proposals, and so that it will not be the case of “the blind leading the blind,” I consider that the Government should publish the details of the conference decisions. From what little I have learned about the matter I feel convinced that the experts who met in conference worked for international benefit, which will be effective in assisting backward nations and making conditions better for all, and will be effective in establishing international peace, as trade is “the golden girdle of the globe.” Through its expansion all nations will benefit, backward nations becoming opulent. The leading manufacturing nations will have more extensive markets in increased demands for commodities that will also increase imported goods, stimulating countries chiefly producing food.— Yours, etc., T HENRY BETTS. Inangahua, September 9, 1946.
