FOREIGN TRADE

NEW GERMAN BLOW EXCHANGE ALLOTMENTS A FURTHER CURTAILMENT LATEST FINANCIAL EDICTS By Telegraph—Fress Association—Copyright (Received March 25. 5.5 p.m.) BERLIN. March 24 There has been a. further curtailment of foreign exchange allotments to German importers. They now amount to 30 per cent of the specification in the standing authorisations which already had been lowered 5 per cent for March. This new blow to international trade, according to Dr. Scliacht, president of the Reichsbank, was inevitable owing to the decline in the bank's exchange holdings. The Cabinet has decreed that all future dividends of stock companies above 6 per cent must be invested in State or Government loans. As a first step in the operation of new measures to protect its finances the Government has prohibited the importation of wool, cotton and other fibres pending the appointment of a controller. This is believed to foreshadow a Government monopoly under which essential raw materials will enjoy preferential entry.

It is rumoured that new purchases abroad will be banned until May 5. Thirteen laws were promulgated overnight. They include a reduction of income tax and unemployment taxes on fathers of three or more children. This will result in an increase of £15,000,000 a year in their spending power.
