German Mark Key to Finance and Stabilization Plan
Stockholm reports Professor Gustav Cassel and a panel of eight international experts urge a two year moratorium on reparations to stabilize the German mark. They call for a central foreign exchange department at the Riksbank, limited mark redemptions, raised discount rates, and an international finance group to assist. Cassel notes an international loan alone offers moral support but not a solution. He also mentions agreeing to advise the Soviet State Bank in Petrograd.
