• TO UNITED M
ARE CUII.TATLED
Foreign Exchange Control
Board Explains Why
U.S. Dollars Needed.
Canada is urgently in need of aero-
planes, aeroplane engines and "Plants'
and other vital war requirements.
Most of such materials must be pur-
chased in the, United States and must
be paid for in cash, in United States
dollars. To secure these, less, impor-
tant calls upas Canada's available
supply of foreign exchange,- -such as
pleasure travel, must be subordinat-
ed. That is why the Government has.
asked Canadians to forego pleasure
visits to the United States. It is not
that Canada is 'spending less money
in the United States than 'hheretafare.
As a matter of fact, our expenditures
are running to record levels. The
question is ore of deciding on the
relative im:portanoe of the purpose to
which our foreign exchange ,resources
may be used. Obviously aeroplanes
and other munitions sof war are more
important in the national interest to=
day than pleasure travel of our citi-
zeasin the U.S.A.
_A_ resident of Canada must 'have a
permit to take Graeae. or American
dollars to. the United States_• The
Foreign Exchange Cocvtr'ol Board sup-
piies United States dollars and gives
permits to take them out of. Canada
for degitimate. business trips, firavel
for health reasons 'and in certain oth•-
er special cases. Special arrange-
ments have also been made for ,Can
adiams living in border communities
to -continue their normal social inter-
course with friends in neighboring
American communities. Otherwise,
however, Canadians desirous of visit-
ing the United States for pleasure
will not be permitted ti take dirt of
Canada either Canadian. or American
dollars. •
Canadians who do net observe the
regulations and attempt to take
money out of the country without a
permit are making themselves liable
to prosecution.
U. S. Dollars Urgently Needed
' Mae Canadians ,do not seem to
realize that, with certain, excetrtions,
it is against the law ,for them to (hold
foreign currencies, which of course,
includes United States dollars, so ur-
gently needed ,to buy war materials
abroad. It is the function of the Fbr-
eign Exchange' Control Board to
gather in all foreign. exchange aris-
iog out of our exports, tourist ex-
penditures in Canada, and from miss-
cellaneaus sources and release it for
purchase of aeroplanes, guns and
other much needed equipment, princi-
pally in the United States. • If any
Canadian has United,' States dollars,
or any other foreign exchange in the
form of bank acdounts, bills, cheques,
drafts, or similar instruments in his
possession, without the permission of
the Board, be is not only evading ,the
law and' leaving himself open to
prosecution, but he is hindering Can-
ada's war effort,
