GERMANS ISSUE ZINC COINS IN BELGIUM
(Rec. 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, May 28. As a result of lack of silver, copper and nickel the Germans are issuing zinc coins, says the Belgian correspondent of The Times. Belgian traders were at first inclined to refuse these coins and the Germans were forced to remind the population that they must be accepted in occupied countries. The Belgians continue to mistrust this ersatz money.
The Brusseler Zeitung, which is produced by German journalists who were in Belgium before the outbreak of war, expresses indignation because the Belgians tire scrawling on 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 punished after the British victory.
