Berlin Interested
In Proposed Plan
For Gold Basis Bank

Berlin. Jan. 24.-(By A P}-Tae
prospective gold currency bank, sug-
gested by the experts committee In
Paris. is already provoking lively
discussion in Bourse and banking cir
Giles here. although the advance COM
ments are wholly based on cursory
dispatches from Paris which pretend
to reflect the approving opinions OF
the British and American experts Of
the program outlined to them by
Doctor Scaacht. president OF the
Ke!cHsbank.
Pending the return Of DIT. Schacht
and tae outcome OF present CONVEX
satlons, Berlin official quarters de-
cl.ncd 10 anticipate further progress
in these deliberations. or 10 fore cast
the governments success IN further
ing the organization OF the proposed
new bank without aid. The latter as
9ect OF Or. Schacht's program moved
several OF the editorial writer's to OBJ
serve that the proposed foreign par
tlCipation in the bank is a hopeful
sign Of returning confidence in Ger
many's credit. Notwithstanding the
danger that the presence OF foreign
capital and administrative authority
suggest the surrender OF German
sovereignty and unrestricted free
dom in connection with the control OF
the nations finances.
Critics OF the plans for the new
bank as now revealed point out the
deSiTuoility of having the istitution
located within Germany. and also de-
mand that its directorate shall COM
mand Il Germany majority in order
20 protect the nations economic or
ganiZatIon from undue foreign con-
troll or influence.
Now that the plans for founding
the new gold currency bank are as
Stunning concrete outlines, most of the
financial writers assume that further
discussion OF Rhineand bank with
Franco Belgian participation is de-
fnitely disposed of, as the new ma
tional bank must hc accorded an ex-
elusive monopoly in occupied as well
rs unOccupied Germany. To preclude
friction which would obviously result
from competing curTencieS within
