Reject GOLD TRANSFER
Germans Say the Allies
Demand Impossible
COIN BELONGS TO BANK
One Berlin Newspaper Suspects
That France Is Back of
This Move
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatchl


Berlin. April 20 While the Ger.
man cabinet has not yet indicated the.
nature Of its reply to tho PREPARATION
coznmission's demand thai TIE German
point ID the occupie6 zone. FresId6ii{
Havenstein OF the Reichsbank and the
financial writer's summarily reject the
proposition. They take the groun.i
that the gold is not only the property
Of private bank, but that its re-
moval from Berlin under the condi-
tions named would result in the col
lapse of German currency at home and
abroad. The experts assert that
such proceeding would work havoc
with German economic interests and
as promptly result in an advance of
all commodities to fabulous prices.
President Havenstein declares SER
ious consideration of the proposition
by the cabinet would be mere waste
of time, and doubts whether any gov
eminent could be found in Germany
which would accede to the entente'S
demand "The impossible is impos
sible, that is all there is to it, SAID
Havenstein.
IN Suspicious the French
The Nord Dutsche Allegemeine Zeit-
ung, owned by Hugo SHINES, express
es suspicion that the French are the
driving force behind the new demand.
1t says that once the gold reserve is
outside the confines of the Reichs
banks vault and placed under enten-
te control in the occupied zone, it will
no longer remain as an active asset OF
the bank, as its ultimate seizure would
then become simple matter.
This newspaper estimates the vol
ume Of German currency held abroad
at 10000, 100000 marks and that for
eign demands on Germany of all kinds
total $4,000, 100000 marks. The value
of the present gold reserve of $780,
600 marks is computed as represent
ing eighteen per cent Of Germany's
current issue, and its disappearance
from the banks assets the newspaper
asserts, would not only aresult in the
instant vitiation of the foreign credi-
tors claims but also have catastro-
phic effect upon German exports and
imports especially with regard to pur-
chases OF raw products.
