DR. SCHACHT, the Reichsbank President, who is on his way from Basle to London, is, according to the Berlin correspondent of the "Telegraaf" to have had several long conversations with Field-Marshal Hermann Goering prior to Dr. Schacht's departure from the German capital.

The correspondent adds that as a result of those conver- sations, Dr. Schacht has been granted powers to negotiate with foreign quarters concerning the economic conditions of the emi- gration of German Jews.

Heinemann, who is President of the Belgian Electricity the the Company, and this indicates possiblity that the plan in question The was discussed on this occasion. paper believes that the plan will also be considered when Dr. Schacht has conversations with Mr. Montague Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, when he reaches London.- Trans-Ocean.

SPECULATION RIFE

London, Dec. 14. "Speculation is rife regarding the objects of the visit of Dr. Schacht, but it is generally understood that the visit is mainly concerned with negotiations for financing the emigra- tion of Jews from Germany,

In this connection, it is believed that Dr. Schacht will propose an ex- change of credit of about 1,000,000,000 reichmarks to be provided by leading Jewish banks in England and the United States for assisting Jewish emigrants from the Reich, since the lalter are not in a position to au- thorise the transfer abroad of their fortunes.

It is added that the credit would be repaid out of foreign exchange received for supplementary German exports, absorption of which would have to be guaranteed by foreign Jewish lenders.

The fact that the President of the

Bank of International Settlements, Dr. Beyen, arrived hero at the same time as Dr. Schacht Is considered evidence that the bank in question is prepared eventually to participate In the organisation of this scheme.

It is also believed in City circles that another object of Dr. Schucht's visit is to discuss Anglo-German economic relations in the light of the announced substantial increase guaranice available to British ex- porters as a subsidy under the Ex- ports Credits Plan.-Trans-Ocean.
