Berlin, Saturday. The Government has decided to guarantee the interest and principal of all foreign short term credits in Germany.

A decree has been issued which restores full banking facilities next Wednesday.

One of the most important measures taken by the Reichsbank is that bills of exchange deposited with the Reichsbank must be settled within ten days as long as the present high rate is valid.

As soon as the bankers' de- mand for loans on bills has abat- ed the Reichsbank will consider the reduction of the discount rate.-Reuter.
