Allied officials point out that
even though they were no longer

West Berliners could still use East
marks to buy in Russian sector
shops and to pay for supplies
smuggled into the blockaded sec

This smuggling trade they want
to encourage. The more smuggled
in. the less required to be flown in

Not even the finance experts

They've been getting paid part

market their West marks at a

long run help the West Berliners
