THE AMERICA!. BANKERS ASSOCIATION ON BRETTON TROOPS
There is only one basic disagreement
between the AM and the Bret ton Woods proposals,
although it has a number of aspects.
The core relates to the rights of
borrowers.
The ABA position:
Holds that the borrower has no rights -
not even conditional - but must meet the terms
imposed by the lender when the loan is made.
The Bretton floods agreements:
Are based on the proposition that a
borrower has limited conditional rights which
become actual when and as long as the borrower
satisfies conditions specified in advance.
Are based on the principle of the
limited line of credit.

The ABA position is based on the assump
tion that borrowers can't be trusted but will use
credits whether they are needed or not, merely
because they are available.
Hence, holds the Fund is too large and
untimely.
