VON OERTZEN GIVES REASONS
PARIS April 23. The reply to the reparations commission
was delivered today signed by Dr. Von Oertzen. for the German
War Burdens Commission. The note pointed out that the re-
moval of the Reichsbank gold would act further to depreciate
German exchange. Furthermore the not said the gold reserve
was not directly under the control of the ministry of finance
but was private property.
The note contended that the transler would not serve as a
reparations payment as the comission seemed to think because
the depreciation in exchange resulting would cause a general
economic weakening of Germany.
CABINET CRISIS IMMINENT
