Within an hour, Mrs. Rolston had publicly repudiated just about everything Mr. Reld said about education. "An example of this would be the willingness of a creditor government to accept payment in the currency of the other country," said the brief. A freer movement of capital "would not only aid the volume of trade but would also tend to stabilize the balance of payments situation, provided flight of capital was prevented."
