SOLE BANK OF ISSUE.

Stabilizing currency.
SOLE BANK OF ISSUE.
During the fifty years of
the charter the proposed
bank would have sole
authority to issue German
currency. In the meantime
all the existing currency
would be withdrawn from
circulation. The new notes
would be secured by a nor
NAL legal reserve of 33 1-3
per cent and by other liquid
assets. Its reserve would be
largely in the form of de-
posits in foreign banks.
For the time being, the
new bank notes would not
be redeemable in gold, but
they might be placed upon
such a basis later on. The
new bank would serve as a
bankers bank" redis-
counting safe, short time
bills, establishing the Off
Cial rate of discount, acting
for other banks in the trans
fer of bank credits, making
short term commercial loans
and discounts, and effect
ing transfers.
The proposed bank would be
authorized to make short term
loans to the government, but
these loans would be strictly
limited and very carefully safe
guarded.
The German government would
participate in the profits of the
bank, but it would be free of all
government control or inter-
ference. All treaty funds COL
lected in Germany would he de-
posted in the bank to the credit
Of a special account and creditor
nations would be allowed to with
draw them only under conditions
which would not disturb the Ger
man exchange market.
Stock Dividend
Part Of the capital stock of the
new bank would be subscribed in
Germany; part abroad. It would
be administered by a German presi.
dent, German board of directors,
and a general board consisting of
seven German members and one
each OF the following nationals
British, French, Italian, Belgian,
American, Dutch, and Swiss.
The general toard is given wide
powers. One foreign member will
be known rs the commissioner. and
he will be responsible for seeing
there is no infringement of pro.
visions relative to the issuance of
currency Or the maintenance of a
reserve.
1t was suggested that, in order to
secure the banks independence, an
issue department under the direc-
ton Of the commissioner, which
would have charge of issue and the
