First Move of Kind.
The present operation is reported
here to be the first of series OF simi-
lar undertakings which the German
government, through the Reichsbank.
is negotiating with private banks
abroad. The governments action meets
with the entire approval of the finan-
cial experts in Berlin, who interpret
it as proof of the imperial banks COM
tinued unimpaired credit abroad. as
well as of the faith by foreigners in
the economic future of Germany.
The official statement fails to reveal
the identity of the Dutch sources
which advanced the first l50.000,000
marks, or the terms under which the
credit was made. That the move was
wholly of private origin is indicated
in editorial comments on the loan, al

ment's agent. The Mendelssohn Bank.
through whose Amsterdam branch the
