Western Allies Void New Red Currency in Berlin
Western Allies declared a new Russian currency in Berlin void in the three Western sectors. A separate currency will be issued and banks and many businesses were ordered closed. A debt moratorium was imposed as the proclamation criticized Soviet currency reform as a violation of four power rules. The Berlin magistrate said occupation commanders issue orders only for their zones. The Westerns argued the move violates the tripartite status and banking management of the city. Soviet reaction was not immediately clear. The Western orders took effect immediately. the Russian changeover was to start tomorrow. It marked the first time Allied powers openly rejected a Soviet economic order in Berlin.
