Reports show that the saving of U.S. dollars made pos sible by travel rationing can be expected to amount to between $40 and $50 million during the period Novem­ ber 16th, 1947 to November 15th, 1948. This substantial sum was thus made available for the purchase of many essential supplies and commodities during this time. The regulations governing the amount of U.S. dollars available for different travel purposes are outlined below:— Pleasure Travel The maximum amount of U.S. dollars which any Canadian resident may obtain for pleasure travel purposes during the twelve months beginning November 16th, 1948, is $150. In the case of children of eleven years and under, the amount is $100. There is no restriction on the number of trips as long as the annual allotment is not exceeded. Any U.S. dollars obtained for one trip and not used on that trip must be brought back to Canada and exchanged for Canadian dollars at the traveller’s bank immediately on his return. No credit for funds thus turned back can be allowed against the annual ration for subsequent trips. Travel Applications for U.S. dollars for business travel must include a certification by the employer that the travel is in his business interests. Reasonable amounts of U.S. dollars may be obtained for this purpose. Iler flier Travel A Canadian resident may take out of Canada without a permit up to $25 in currency, of which not more than $10 is in U.S. currency. For this purpose, he may purchase up to $10 U.S. in any calendar month. This is in addition to the annual travel ration.
