United States Dollars
Urgently Needed
Many Canadians do not 'seem to
realize that, with - certain, . excep-
tions, it is against the law for th:m
to hold foreign currencies, which, of
canine, includes United . Statos
dollarsy so urgently needed to bey
War materials' abroad. It is the
function of the Foreign Exchange
Control Board to gather in all fot•-
eign-exchange arising out of our
exports, tourist expenditures in
Canada, and 'from miscellaneous
sources; and release it for purchases
or aeroplanes, guns and other much
needed equipment, principally in
the United .States... If any Canadian
has United States 'dollars, dr any
other foreign exchange in' the form
of bank accounts, bills, cheques,
drafts, or similar instruments in bis
possession, without the permission
of the Board, he is not only evading
the law and leaving himself open to
prosecution, but he is. hindering'
