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,
