financial experts, describing
.,a nj. M Of the Jews as being as
Ss.rpr.,c =, as ever, said that Ger

farm ut increased exports.
The new decree issued by Min
:.,sr uf economics Walter Funk
- "rrorcct" the flight of foreign
.v,rar.e forbate German Jews
and Jews without nationality to
any abroad anything not need
ii for personal use after Jan. !.
Jews. who along with AryanS
row are prohibited from taking
!,re rran ten marks (S4) out of
N, Reich with special permission,
~rSr obtain permits to carry out
N possessions or gifts. The new
a.ree applies even if the Jews
mend u return to Germany.
The scope, Of the decree is linz
.si however, since few Jews still
assess passports enabling any
ps abroad except for emegra-
|.Cn.
The special permission" re-
gret for Jews attempting to sal
-re any of their weilth OF be-
rrg;ngS and take them abroad
re<umably would apply to the
|Reich's proposed scheme to rid
self of all Jews within two years
W letting them carry out perhaps
5 rcr cent of their property in
|.,e form of the trade coupons"
These coupons, to be cashed
broad. must be used solely for
|-ne purchase of supplementary"
Germany exports, according to
he tentative Nazi plan.
Or. Hjalmar Schacht, Ger
[any'S leading financial authority
Ert president of the Reichsbank,
h preparing TO 90 to London the
tier part of this week to lay the
Erate coupon and mass migration
proposal before leaders of the in
governmental committee on
\ .usees and British fnanciers.
Foreign financial experts were
/ m;rtedly skeptical of the work
kliry Of the scheme, believing
! q. Jews would benefit but little
m it in their efforts to find
homes ABROAD while the chief
F1chciary would be the German
Iyport industry.
Since the "trade coupons" rep
eSenting Jewish wealth held in
uusteeShip in Germany for the
Jewish emigrantS must be used
for supplementary" exports they
Irobably wound find u limited
rarket abroad, particularly among
inpOrterS in countries with whom
germany has barter or clearing
EreementS.
1t was believed that no foreign
|rporter would pay the full price
the coupons-eXcept in a
BRIT of charity-beeause of the
ormouS depreciation already ex-
Eng in certain types of German
5port marks.
4, result, il was said that the
swS might be forced to take
scount Of at least 90 per cent
iluidating the coupons and
hight be lucky if they landed in
I2e'r new homes abroad with four
FIVE per cent of their original
|-ea.,h.
