  • The Fund Agreement in the Courts—VI
    The Fund Agreement in the Courts—VI Joseph Gold* HIS INSTALLMENT of the survey of cases involving the Articles T of Agreement of the International Monetary Fund deals with cases in the courts of New York, Austria, and the Netherlands which were concerned with the unenforceability of certain exchange contracts; a case in Oregon, now to be reviewed by the United States Supreme Court, which considers the effect of exchange control on a nonresident heir's right to inherit; and a case in Chile which dealt with the currency in which a claim to compensation for requisition should be discharged. Unenforceability of Certain Exchange Contracts NEW YORK Southwestern Shipping Corporation v. National City Bank of New York1 has now been decided by the Appellate Division2 and the Court of Appeals in New York,3 and an application for review by the United States Supreme Court has been refused.4 Southwestern Shipping Corpo- ration, a New York corporation, was an export brokerage firm which acted as purchasing agent for Italian importers, of which the Garmoja firm was one. In September 1951, Garmoja placed an order with South- western for 300 tons of fatty acid at a price of $37,222. At that time, Italian foreign exchange control laws required an importer to have a license to pay dollars for such an import, but Garmoja had never obtained a license. In order to make dollars available to Southwestern to pay for the fatty acid, Garmoja entered into a contract with Corti, another Italian firm, which had obtained a license to pay dollars to an American named Anlyan for rags to be imported into Italy from the United States.

  • Australia, the Southwest Pacific, and United States Interests
    Order Code RL32187 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Australia, the Southwest Pacific, and United States Interests January 7, 2004 name redacted and name redacted Analysts in Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Australia, the Southwest Pacific, and United States Interests Summary The major U.S. interests in the Southwest Pacific are preventing the rise of terrorist threats, working with and maintaining the region’s U.S. territories, commonwealths, and military bases (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Reagan Missile Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands), and enhancing U.S.-Australian cooperation in pursuing mutual political, economic, and strategic objectives in the area. The United States and Australia share common interests in countering transnational crime and preventing the infiltration of terrorist organizations in the Southwest Pacific, hedging against the growing influence of China, and promoting political stability and economic development. The United States has supported Australia’s increasingly proactive stance and troop deployment in Pacific Island nations torn by political and civil strife such as East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. Australia may play a greater strategic role in the region as the United States seeks to redeploy its Asia-Pacific force structure. This report will be updated as needed.

Their main goal is to bring one government in the world and destroy Muslims and Christians who are the followers of two largest religions of the world. To achieve their goal, they haveIJSER hold on financial system of the world and keeping dollar’s value strongest in the world, dollar is printed and controlled by Federal Reserve System of United States (FED) and major central banks which are owned by illuminati (Wizzards & Cults, n.d.). I have taken three variables US. Dollar, exchange rate of US dollar and interest rate to determined how dollar as an exchange reserves and interest rate that is set by FED play its role to keep dollar strong. I have taken data of 15 years from 2001-2015 from IMF website and applied correlation test and Johansen’s Co-integration model. The result indicates there is strong positive relation between US dollar and exchange rate, and there is negative correlation between dollar and interest rate.
