German Reichsbank builds up credit in New York
The Reichsbank is creating fresh credits in New York as reparations payments loom. About 200 cases of bar silver valued at 850000 dollars have arrived via Equitable Trust, representing German government sums. Analysts expect as much as 20000000 dollars in August reparations settled in silver, with Germany holding large silver stocks. Reports say German bankers prefer shipping silver to the United States over pledging metal at home against foreign credits. Some gold payments may come as bullion melted from French and Russian coins. Germany has already paid France much of the indemnity gold from the Franco Prussian War, once stored in the empire’s war chest.
