For some time the Federal Reserve

with Cuba are unique, because OF the
provisions of the Platt amendment,
pnd also because the currency of the
United States has been made legal
tender by act of the Cuban govern
ment. but no adequate machinery has
ever been set up by which unfit paper
currency could be sent back to the
United States for redemption and re-
placement.
The board has finally decided to ap-
prove a plan agreed upon by the Fed

Part or the paper currency in Cuba

1t is expected that currency will be

chase of cable transfers. and that the
currency SO received will be at once
sorted. SO that the unfit bills can be
sent back to this country for replace

serve agencies of bills of exchange
from the banks operating in Cuba
This, 1T is expected. will result not
only In replacing unfit paper money
with new currency. but will have a
