On every dollar of sales in the packing industry in 1944, he said, packers had made a net profit of 1.05?, which was well above their profits of .96? per dollar of sales in the years 1925-39.

A steady barrage of criticism from big U.S. bankers-almost the only Americans who professed to understand these highly important but technical matters-had given the Bretton Woods proposals a bad press ever since they were signed. The final official say of the American Bankers Association (TIME, Feb. 12) was that the proposed World Reconstruction Bank was sound, but not the Monetary Fund, from which countries could borrow foreign funds when lopsided trade threatened temporarily to restrict their purchases...
