Credit NEGOTIATIONS
CBy Associated Press)

BERLIN, Dec. S-The government
of Chancellor Wirth admitted yester
day that it was conducting credit ne
gotiations in English financial circles.
Thus it has taken the first step to
dispose of the conflicting reports Of
its own activities, and those Of DR..
Rathenau. the former minister of
reconstruction.
The admission of the government
has been received as an indication
that it is apprehensive of its ability
to raise the half billion OF gold marks
due Jan. Is for reparations without
subjecting the already swollen flood
OF currency to further initiation.
1t is reported that the government
fearing cOnfiscatiOn of the Reichs
banks gold reserve in the event OF
Germany failing to meet the January
payment, has given consideration tC
the question Of offering the nations
gold fund as a pledge to English fin
anciers, preferring to see it in the
possession of England as security for
a loan rather than to be obliged tC
surrender it into the hands OF the
reparatiOns commission as a penalty
/ for defaulting.
