Currency Reform In Western Germany Soon
Berlin reports a widely anticipated currency reform backed by the United States Britain and France aims to remove 70 to 90 percent of the existing money from circulation. The new Western German mark will start without international value and be tightly blocked with expected eventual international value around 3 cents. Internally it may equal about 30 cents in goods and services by world standards, with large savings over 3 400 marks wiped or reduced. The reform is to be imposed by occupying powers to avoid blame on Germans for hardship.
