Secretary Morgenthau is reported to have told a news conference that if the advice in the recent report of the American Bankers Association were followed, “the chances are it would kill the whole Bretton Woods Monetary Agreement.” He hopes, he added, that in the final analysis bankers will see “just a little further than their own immediate business.”
15. Freedom of Exchange
February 10, 1945
An Associated Press report attributes to Secretary Morgenthau an interesting comment on the American Bankers Association report on the Bretton Woods agreements. “It has been proved, as far as I am concerned, that people in the international banking business cannot run successfully foreign-exchange markets. It is up to the Governments to do it. We propose to do this if and when the legislative bodies approve Bretton Woods.”

The President’s message to Congress on the Bretton Woods money and banking proposals is conciliatory and statesmanlike in tone. Though he recommends that Congress promptly adopt the plan both for the proposed international Bank and the proposed international Fund, he also discusses the two proposals separately, and each on its own merits.
