Reichsbank Notes to cease to be Legal Tender.

Wellington, 7th May, 1925.

THE following letter, received by the Prime Minister from the Consul-General for Germany, at Melbourne, is published for general information.

F. H. D. BELL, for the Prime Minister.

Sir,—
Melbourne, 24th April, 1925.

I have been advised by my Government that the Directors of the German Reichsbank, according to section 3 of the Banking Act of the 30th August, 1924, have called in all Reichsbank notes issued prior to the 11th October, 1924. The notes thus called in will cease to be legal tender after the 5th of June, 1925. Persons holding such notes may, however, after this date up to the 5th of July, 1925, exchange them at all branches of the Reichsbank at the rate of 1 billion mark = 1 reichsmark (R.M.), fixed by the German Legislature according to the Dawes plan.

As German paper marks therefore will be valueless after the 5th of July, 1925, and as there seems a possibility of such paper marks being held by New Zealand residents, I have the honour to suggest that the above facts be given due publicity in order that holders of paper marks living in New Zealand might be enabled to guard their interests.

I have, &c.,

H. Büsing, German Consul-General.

The Right Honourable the Prime Minister,
Wellington, N.Z.
