Reich 10 Order Listing
OF All War Stock Sales

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 26.-Walther Funk,
Minister of Economics. announced
today that a decree to be made
effective shortly would compel the
registration of all shares which have
changed hands since the war began.
This measure, disclosed at a meet
ing of the Reichs economic cham
ber, was expected to halt what the
Minister called excessively rising
share pices.
The effective date of the decree
has not been fixed, but Funk al
ready has forbidden banks to make
loans for purchases of mining stocks
and colonial bonds after October 81.
Funk's announcement said busi-
ness concerns would be encouraged
'to invest their liquid assets and
reserves in the Reich's treasury
bonds"
Authoritative quarters, explaining
Funk's action, said previous warn
ings against speculation had gone
unheeded.
Wartime profiteertng repeatedly
has been called un-Nazi and many
DEGREES have forbidden the unjusti-
fled increases in commodity prices
and wages.
