staut.
I am much obliged for your letter of the 16th in-
In regard to your suggestion that the guarantee of
the Bank of England would provize a better security than the
guarantee of the London Agency of the Direction der Disconto
Gesellschaft, I venture to suggest that it would be imprac-
ticable for the uk to procure a guarantee from the Bank of England. The Management of the Disconto-Gesellschaft point
out that a guarantee given by them as the duly authorised
attorneys of the Di-conto-Gesellschaft in London, could not be repudiated by their lead Office in Berlin, even if the Latter desired to repudiate it after the war, which in the opinion of the London Management is extremely unlikely.
agree with this view.
I am,
sir,
Your obedient Servant,
