Germany Forming
Huge Credits in
American Banks
Large Amounts of Funds
Being Held in Name of
individuals in United
.. States, Officials Say.

Washing ton, March l6.-lnclusion
by the allied reparations commission
of the American federal reserve
banks as an optional depositary for
German indemnity payments brought
from treasury officials tonight the
statement that the commission pos
sibly had two purposes in view:
To enable Germany to call upon
''vast credits" which it is said to
hold through private agents in the
United States.
To employ in favor OF the allied
governments, the tremendous differ
ence in exchange rates.
Information gathered by the re-
serve banks was said to show that
since the arnistice, Germany has
been amassing credits i'll United
States national banks, holding the
funds in the names of individuals.
Officials said the amount would run
into many millions. This money,
it was said, was presumed to be for
use in Germany's future trade. much
of which would center in the United
States.
There had been no intimation given
the United States that its banking
system, might be employed as the
reparations note forwarded to Berlin
today suggested, officials stated. The
mere fact that this governments
banks would serve as practically
neutral territory, so far as repara-
tions were concerned, was not ac-
cepted as the full reason for the
conmissions proposal, although the
reserve banks have acted as deposi-
taries for several foreign govern
ments. s., =
Some S3O,000,00O is held for for
eign governments, the weekly state
ment of the federal reserve board
shows, and to receive a deposit from
Germany, although technical en-
emy, would mean only the placing
of that additional credit to the ma
tions by the commission.
In some quarters it was believed
that allied intelligence agents had
discovered the existence of the Ger
man funds here and that the COM
mission had acted on the feeling
Germany would use the money in
indemnity payments. The sugges-
ton also was made that Germany
might attempt to borrow in the
United States, in which case the ship
ment of gold to Europe would react
favorably on the exchange situation.
