4. Currency matte No details were given, but No. 4 presumably referred to thé settles ment of problems arising from the use of “invasion” banknotes issued to allied troops sent into France, The state department said the arrangements w é r e “essentially temporary and practical in char acter.” The terms were agreed upon by American and Prenich representatives in Washington several days ago, and were known to be a direct result of De Gaulle’s visit here: and the subsequent recognition of his committee of national liberation as the de facto authority in France.
