BANKERS OF CENTRAL
POWERS CAN'T AGREE
Germans Resent Plan of Aus
trians to Keep Coinage
at Parity
Washington, April s.

An official report on the difficulties
attending money transfers between
Austria Hungary and Germany received
here stated that German banking in
tcrests are cndcavoriug to clear up the
difficulties which for many months have
surrounded the Germau-Austran ex-
change question. Since the war started
Austrian crowns have shown steady
decline in almost all foreign exchange
markets and the Austrian Government
has been employing various measures to
improve the value of the crown.
MANY months ago." tho report said,
"a special commission of Austrian bank
ers was appointed for the purpose of
dealing with the exchange question, and
at the suggestion of this commission
the Government issued decree stopping
all transfers from residents i'll Austria
to residents in other countries except as
such transfers were made by depositing
with Austrian or Hungarian banking
houses a credit to the account of the
foreign firms.
Germans Resent Regulations
This measure caused considerable i'll
feeling among various foreign creditors
of Austrian firms, and particularly
among certain German firms. The
measure prescribdc by the Austrc-
Hungarian Government also applied to
the territory of Serbia, and as many Ger
man citizens had outstanding accounts
in Serbia German association was
formed for the protection Of these ac-
counts. This association made repre-
sentations to the German Foreign Of
flee, and as a result the German am
bassador in Vienna approached the
Austro-Hungarian Government on the
subject. No satisfactory results, how
ever, were obtained.
"Retaliatory measures were decided
upon and a rule was made prohibiting
the payment of money due by Germans
to Austrian firms except as such pay
ments were affected by depositlng in
some German banking house the money
in question TO the credit of the Austrian
firm.
Creditors Not Satisfied
Despite this retalatory measure the
German creditors of Serbian firms were
not satisfied. as they were still unable
TO make their collections. So the asso-
citation for the protection of interests of
firms having outstanding accounts in
Serbia took the matter into its own
hands and put itself in direct touch with
the Austro- Hungarian Government
through Il large banking house in
Vienna. A short time later the Austro-
Hungarian restrictive measures were
! lifted and collections in Serbia again
| became possible
THE association has recently pointed
out TO the German Foreign Office that
/ II had been, unsuccessful in obtaining most
of it's ends, and it is now suggested that
all restrictions of payments between
Australia and Germany in either
direction be completely withdrawn.
Diplomatic negotiations are now being
carried on with this end in view"
