GERMAN FINANCIERS
 OPPOSE ALLIED IDEA
Fear Removal of Gold Would Cause Collapse of
 Currency.

Berlin, April 20, (By Associated Press) While the German cabinet has not yet indicated the nature of it's reply to tthe reparation commissions s denyand that the German gold reserve be transferred to some point in the occupied zone. President Havenstein of the Reichsbank and the financial writers summarily reject the proposi- tion. They take the ground that the gold is not only the property of a private bank but that its removal from Berlin under the conditions named would result in the collapse of German currency at home and abroad.
 The experts also assert that such a proceeding would work havoc with German economic interests and promptly result in an advance of all commodities to fabulous prices as the result of the inevitable depreciation of the nations currency.
 President Havenstein declares that serious consideration of the proposi- ton by the. cabinet would be mere waste of time. and doubts whether any government could be found in Germany which w6uld accede to the Entente's demand.
