NEW ZEALAND LIFTS
EXCHANGE RATE BAN
Increase Seen as Suicidal Until
End of Imperial Economic
Conference.

BY the Associated Press
WELLINGTON. New Zealand, June
15.-Prime Minister @. W. Forbes an
nounced today that the government will
lift the regulations restricting exchange
at the end of the month
There will be no further interference
with the exchange rate, which has be-
come the care of the banks, he stated.
Pooling OF exchange was instituted by
the government last Winter.
The announcement has aroused
fears in some banking and commercial
circles regarding the possibility of main
tanning the New Zealand exchange rate
at its present level. Banking circles
are apprehensive that one of the lead
ing banks in New Zealand, which is q
branch Of an Australian bank, may act
independently with the view of raising
the rate.
Any increase in the New Zealand ex-
change rate would be suicidal, bankers
here declare, at least before the Imper-
ial Economic Conference at Ottawa has
concluded.

BERLIN, Jan. 12. (P}-The gov- ernment'S proposal to extend Pres ident Won Hindenburg's term one year or more was given less than an even chance for success by observ- CTS.
 Dr. A, Hugenbert, Nationalist party leader and recent Fascist ally, was expected to cast the decid- ing vote in negotiations between Chancellor Bruening, Adolph Hitler and himself. The government was optimistic regarding the outcome chiefly because Hitler was under stood to favor the extension on the condition that Bruening call for new elections for the Reichstag this year.
 NationaUsts, however, emphasiz- ed their belief that the conferences would end in a deadlock and that 9 popular election would be neces- sary.
 A late report from Berlin was to the effect that the Reichstag in a resolution announced that it had been decided not to extend the term of Won Hindenburg. To continue as President, Hindenburg must now be elected at popular election and it is the hope of the Fascist party that they can rope him into run ming as their candidate.
