Abstract

Everybody's Business
Hutchison, Keith | March 30, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

In his message of welcome to the delegates who assembled at Savannah, Georgia on March 9, 1946 to inaugurate the World Fund and Bank, president said that the great institutions provided for at Bretton Woods must now become living, operating organisms. To breathe life into these institutions is a challenging task. It would be naive, in the present state of the world, to expect that politics can be kept out of the Bank and Fund entirely. The directors, though the paid servants of the institutions, are also the nominees and representatives of their respective governments, which will look to them to uphold national interests.
