SMALL CHANCE TO CONVERT

Now if Jews were able to convert all this into German money at its face value they still would need to convert it into foreign exchange or gold as they left the country-and what chance is there for that?
 To turn again to the London Banker, one of it's writers estimates that after anschluss with Austria, Germany and her citizens had l. 650000,O00 marks in gold and foreign exchange, 380, 100000 marks invested in foreign securities, and .450 100000 invested in foreign property, all of which might conceivably be convert ed into foreign exchange. That totals 3,480,000,000 marks. Since the ansch- luss this amount has dwindled by 130,000,000 marks, leaving about $1,- 100000. That is described here as an outside figure. Other writers estimate less than half that
 Germany officially admits having only $290O0,000 in gold, although commercial sources here are certain the figure is simply a blind.
 But the above figures compiled by financial writers show that even if Germany gathered in all it's reported assets of S1,34O, 100000 in foreign ex- change, it could not supply Jews with the $2.OO0,oOo 900 required to give them their remaining wealth and let them go.

TOO MANY SPECIAL CHARLES

TOO MANY SPECIAL CHAR ES
 Another thing must be taken into consideration, however. Special vel fare levies and fines imposed on Jews selling their property in Ger many allow little of the true value But getting foreign exchange even for 10 per cent presents problem which financial experts here recog- nize as real one.
 Germany probably was not acting from purely humanitarian purposes in proposing that wealthy foreign Jews accept German goods in return for advances made to get German Jews out of the Reich. The plan has a double edge. Every such transaction would help to sell Ger man goods abroad, even if the re- ceipts were available only to buy Jewish property in the Reich.
 If the device works, it probably will cause many a Nazi to chuckle at the queer irony by which Jews abroad would become unwilling GUS toners of Germany as means of rescuing their fellows.
