BELGIAN BANKS

Currency System of the Cou1-

kers from Berlin.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, Sept. pa
The German administration in Bel
GUM has so far succeeded In re-
constructing the financial system of
the countrythat number of the lar
ger businesses, such as the big fac
tories. coal mines and banks, which
practically came to a standstill a
year ago, have been able to resume
operations.
The withdrawal of the directors Of
the National Bank to London Au-
gust, 1914, WIG took with them its
gold stock and the plates for print
ing notes. left the country without
Q solid basis for its currency system.
Notes were in circulation. but there
was no soid with which to redeem
them; and there was danger that the
circulation might be further expand
ed through new issues OF the Belgian
government in London, which could
easily be Struggled into the country.
Soon after the occupation Of Belgian
territory the German government
oeputfzed DR.. Won Lumm, one of the
most efficient directors OF the Reichs
bank, to proceed to Belgium and take
In charge the rehabilitation of the
currency system. AS the officials OF
the National Bank had refused to
return to Brussels Or restore its as
sets, 1t became necessary to find a
new way OF securing the note circu-
lation. n ~

Moratorium in Force.

The moratorium. on the other
hand, presented difficulties which
have not yet been overcome. After
hearing the representations Of cham
lbers of commerce, individual. manu-
facturers and other business men.
the new banking department attach
ed to the civil government at Brus-
sells saw that hasty action must be
avoided; and up to the present time
the moratorium continues in force.
Still another function Of the bank
ing department is to prevent the
payment of money to citizens of hos
tile countries, in harmony with a
measure decreed by the German gov
eminent for Germany in retaliation
for similar action already taken in
England. The department also SUI
perintends receiverships for foreign
concerns established in Belgium, es-
pecially branches Of French banks.
For this course. 1t is claimed again,
English action has given the preced-
ent, all. the branches Of German
banks at London having been placed.

was the fixing Of indemnities to be

the other was the abolition Of the
moratorium which had been in force
