In Expressed Viewpoint of
Pres. Havenstein of Ger
man Reichsbank
GERMAN CURRENCY
WOULD COLLAPSE
Transfer of Gold to Rhine
Banks Would Make 1t
Easy to Seize

Berlin, April 20 tBy the Associated
Press While the German cabinet has
not yet indicated the nature of its re
plv to the reparation commissions de-
mafd that the German gold reserve
be transferred to some point in the
occupied zone, President Hsyenstein of
the Reichsbang and the financial writ
ers summarily reject the proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
is not only the property of private
bank but that its removal from Berlin
under the conditions named would re-
suit in the collapse of German currency
at home and abroad
The experts also assert that such a
processing would work havoc with Ger
man economic interests and promptly
result in an advance Of all commodi-
ties Of fabulous prices as the result
of the inevitable depreciation Of the
nations currency.
President Hayenstein declares that
serious consideration of the proposition
bv the cabinet would be a mere waste
of time ami doubts whether any gov
ernment could be found in Germany
which would aecede to the entente's
demand
"The impossible is impossible; that
is all there il to it. said Herr Haven
stein.
The newspaper owned by Hugo
SHINES expresses suspicion that the
French are the driving force behind the
new demand. II says that once the
gold reserve is outside the confines OF
the Reichsbank's vaults, and placed un-
der entente control in the occupied
zone, it win no longer remain as an ae-
tive asset of the bank, as its ulti-
mate seizure would then become sim
pie matter
This newspaper estimates the vol.
ume of German currency held abroad
at 20 .00O, 600. 900 marks, and that for
eign demands on Germany OF all kinds
total $4,000. 100000 marks The value
of the present gold reserve OF l,09O,-
OO.OQ0 marks is computed as repre-
senting Is per cent Of Germany's cur
rencv issue, and its disappearance from
the banks assets, the newspaper as
serts, would not only result in the in
slant impairment OF the foreign credit :
ors' claim but also have a catastrophe
effect upon German exports and i'm
ports, especially with regard to pur-
chases of raw products.

dered the law department to undertake

asked to explain the Irregularities,

failed to do so up to this morning. He
was reported i'll at his home.
o'Daly Alleged to Have Confessed.
Mayor Peters later said that O'Daly
had confessed the shortage to City Au.
ditor B. Alfred Mitchell at his home
to-day.
The sum had been abstracted from
city funds at various times the past
ten years, ODaly admitted, according
to the mayor. Part of the money was
said to have been lost in stock specula-
ton. The mayor said 0'Daly had no
property and could make restitution
only through his $4,000 bond.
