ERSATZ NAZI MONEY
FORCED ACCEPTANCE IN OCCUPIED COUNTRIES
(Rec. 9 a.m.)
LONDON, May 29
As a result of their lack of silver, copper, and nickel, the Germans are issuing zinc coins, says a correspondent of "The Times'" in Belgium. Belgian traders at first were inclined to refuse these coins and the Germans forced them to accept it, to remind the population that it must be accepted in the occupied countries. The Belgians continue to mistrust this ersatz money.
The "Brusseler Zeitung," produced by German journalists who were in Belgium before the outbreak of the war, expresses indignation because Belgians are scrawling on the walls "Vive Churchill" and "Vive la R.A.F." The paper declares that the Belgians are already drawing up a list of traitors whom they wish to see punished after British victory is achieved.—U.P.A.
