       Ike's Financial Marching Orders
 
 Located and submitted by David Klinger
 
 Directive to Commander-in-Chief of United States
 Forces of Occupation
 
  Regarding the Military Government of Germany; April
 1945
 [The following directive setting forth United States
 policy with reference to the military government of
 Germany, was issued by the State Department to
 General
 Eisenhower.]
 [excerpt] 
 
 
 PART III
 
 Financial
 
 44. You will make full application in the financial
 field of the principles stated elsewhere in this
 directive and you will endeavor to have the Control
 Council adopt uniform financial policies necessary
 to
 carry out the purposes stated in paragraphs 4 and 5
 of
 this directive. You will take no steps designed to
 maintain, strengthen or operate the German financial
 structure except in so far as may be necessary for
 the
 purposes specified in this directive. 
 
 45. The Control Council should regulate and control
 to
 the extent required for the purposes set forth in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 the issue and volume of currency
 and the extension of credit in Germany and in
 accordance with the following principles: 
 
 a. United States forces and other Allied forces will
 use Allied Military marks and Reichsmark currency or
 coins in their possession. Allied Military marks and
 Reichsmark currency and coin now in circulation in
 Germany will be legal tender without distinction and
 will be interchangeable at the rate of one Allied
 Military mark for one Reichsmark.
 Reichskreditkassenscheine and other German military
 currency will not be legal tender in Germany. 
 
 b. The Reichsbank, the Rentenbank or any other bank
 or
 agency may be permitted or required to issue bank
 notes and currency which will be legal tender;
 without
 such authorization no German governmental or private
 bank or agency will be permitted to issue bank notes
 or currency. 
 
 c. The German authorities may be required to make
 available Reichsmark currency or credits free of
 cost
 and in amounts sufficient to meet all the expenses
 of
 the forces of occupation, including the cost of
 Allied
 Military Government and including to the extent that
 compensation is made therefor, the cost of such
 private property as may be requisitioned, seized, or
 otherwise acquired, by Allied authorities for
 reparations or restitution purposes 
 
 Pending agreement in the Control Council you will
 follow these policies in your own zone. 
 
 You will receive separate instructions relative to
 the
 currency which you will use in the event that for
 any
 reason adequate supplies of Allied Military marks
 and
 Reichsmarks are not available, or if the use of such
 currency is found undesirable. 
 
 You will not announce or establish in your zone,
 until
 receipt of further instructions, any general rate of
 exchange between the Reichsmark on the one hand and
 the U. S. dollar and other currencies on the other.
 However, a rate of exchange to be used exclusively
 for
 pay of troops and military accounting purposes in
 your
 zone will be communicated separately to you. 
 
 46. Subject to any agreed policies of the Control
 Council, you are authorized to take the following
 steps and to put into effect such further financial
 measures as you may deem necessary to accomplish the
 purposes of your occupation: 
 
 a. To prohibit, or to prescribe regulations
 regarding
 transfer or other dealings in private or public
 securities or real estate or other property. 
 
 b. To close banks, but only for a period long enough
 for you to introduce satisfactory control, to remove
 Nazi and other undesirable personnel, and to issue
 instructions for the determination of accounts to be
 blocked under subparagraph 48 e below. 
 
 c. To close stock exchanges, insurance companies,
 and
 similar financial institutions for such periods as
 you
 deem appropriate. 
 
 d. To establish a general or limited moratorium or
 moratoria only to the extent clearly necessary to
 carry out the objectives stated in paragraphs 4 and
 5
 of this directive. 
 
 47. Resumption of partial or complete service on the
 internal public debt at the earliest feasible date
 is
 deemed desirable. The Control Council should decide
 the time and manner of such resumption. 
 
 48. Subject to any agreed policies of the Control
 Council, 
 
 a. You will prohibit: 
 
 (1) the payment of all military pensions, or
 emoluments or benefits, except compensation for
 physical disability limiting the recipient's ability
 to work, at rates which are no higher than the
 lowest
 of those for comparable physical disability arising
 from non-military causes. (2) the payment of all
 public or private pensions or other emoluments or
 benefits granted or conferred: 
 
 (a) by reason of membership in or services to the
 former Nazi party, its formations, affiliated
 associations or supervised organizations, (b) to any
 person who has been removed from an office or
 position
 in accordance with paragraph 6, and (c) to any
 person
 arrested and detained in accordance with paragraph 8
 during the term of his arrest, or permanently, in
 case
 of his subsequent conviction. 
 
 b. You will take such action as may be necessary to
 insure that all laws and practices relating to
 taxation or other fields of finance, which
 discriminate for or against any persons because of
 race, nationality, creed or political opinion, will
 be
 amended, suspended, or abrogated to the extent
 necessary to eliminate such discrimination. 
 
 c. You will hold the German authorities responsible
 for taking such measures in the field of taxation
 and
 other fields of public finance, including
 restoration
 of the tax system and maintenance of tax revenues,
 as
 will further the accomplishment of the objectives
 stated in paragraphs 4 and 5. 
 
 d. You will exercise general supervision over German
 public expenditures in order to ensure that they are
 consistent with the objectives stated in paragraphs
 4
 and 5. 
 
 e. You will impound or block all gold, silver,
 currencies, securities, accounts in financial
 institutions, credits, valuable papers, and all
 other
 assets falling within the following categories: (1)
 Property owned or controlled directly or indirectly,
 in whole or in part, by any of the following: (a)
 The
 German Reich, or any of the Lander, Gaue or
 provinces,
 any Kreis, Municipality or other similar local
 subdivision; or any agency or instrumentality of any
 of them including all utilities, undertakings,
 public
 corporations or monopolies under the control of any
 of
 the above; (b) Governments, nationals or residents
 of
 other nations, including those of territories
 occupied
 by them, at war with any of the United Nations at
 any
 time since 1 September 1939; (c) The Nazi Party, its
 formations, affiliated associations and supervised
 organizations, its officials, leading members and
 supporters; (d) All organizations, clubs or other
 associations prohibited or dissolved by military
 government; (e) Absentee owners, of non-German
 nationality including United Nations and neutral
 governments and Germans outside of Germany; (f) Any
 institution dedicated to public worship, charity,
 education or the arts and sciences which has been
 used
 by the Nazi Party to further its interests or to
 cloak
 its activities; (g) Persons subject to arrest under
 provisions of paragraph 8, and all other persons
 specified by military government by inclusion in
 lists
 or otherwise. (2) Property which has been the
 subject
 of transfer under duress or wrongful acts of
 confiscation, disposition or spoliation, whether
 pursuant to legislation or by procedure purporting
 to
 follow forms of law or otherwise. (3) Works of art
 or
 cultural material of value or importance, regardless
 of the ownership thereof. 
 
 You will take such action as will insure that any
 impounded or blocked assets will be dealt with only
 as
 permitted under licenses or other instructions which
 you may issue. In the case particularly of property
 blocked under (1) (a) above, you will proceed to
 adopt
 licensing measures which while maintaining such
 property under surveillance would permit its use in
 consonance with this directive. In the case of
 property blocked under (2) above, you will institute
 measures for prompt restitution, in conformity with
 the objectives stated in paragraphs 4 and 5 and
 subject to appropriate safeguards to prevent the
 cloaking of Nazi and militaristic influence. 
 
 49. All foreign exchange transactions, including
 those
 arising out of exports and imports, shall be
 controlled with the aim of preventing Germany from
 developing a war potential and of achieving the
 other
 objectives set forth in this directive. To
 effectuate
 these purposes the Control Council should 
 
 a. Seek out and reduce to the possession and control
 of a special agency all German (public and private)
 foreign exchange and external assets of every kind
 and
 description located within or outside Germany. 
 
 b. Prohibit, except as authorized by regulation or
 license, all dealings in gold, silver, foreign
 exchange, and all foreign exchange transactions of
 any
 kind. Make available any foreign exchange proceeds
 of
 exports for payment of imports directly necessary to
 the accomplishment of the objectives stated in
 paragraphs 4 and 5 of th 
 
 is directive, and authorize no other outlay of
 foreign
 exchange assets except for purposes approved by the
 Control Council or other appropriate authority. 
 
 c. Establish effective controls with respect to all
 foreign exchange transactions, including: (1)
 Transactions as to property between persons inside
 Germany and persons outside Germany; (2)
 Transactions
 involving obligations owed by or to become due from
 any person in Germany to any person outside Germany;
 and (3) Transactions involving the importation into
 or
 exportation from Germany of any foreign exchange
 asset
 or other form of property. 
 
 Pending agreement in the Control Council, you will
 take in your zone the action indicated in
 subparagraphs a, b and c above. Accordingly, you
 will
 in your zone reduce to the possession and control of
 a
 special agency established by you, within your
 Command, all German foreign exchange and external
 assets as provided in subparagraph a. You will
 endeavor to have similar agencies for the same
 purpose
 established in the other zones of occupation and to
 have them merged as soon as practicable in one
 agency
 for the entire occupied territory. In addition you
 will provide full reports to your government with
 respect to all German foreign exchange and external
 assets. 
 
 50. No extension of credit to Germany or Germans by
 any foreign person or Government shall be permitted
 except that the Control Council may in special
 emergencies grant permission for such extensions of
 credit. 
 
 51. It is not anticipated that you will make credits
 available to the Reichsbank or any other bank or to
 any public or private institution. If, in your
 opinion, such action becomes essential, you may take
 such emergency actions as you may deem proper, but
 in
 any event, you will report the facts to the Control
 Council. 
 
 52. You will main such accounts and records as may
 be
 necessary to reflect the financial operations of the
 military government in your zone and you will
 provide
 the Control Council with such information as it may
 require, including information in connection with
 the
 use of currency by your forces, any governmental
 settlements, occupation costs, and other
 expenditures
 arising out of operations or activities involving
 participation of your forces.

 Is the above document great or what? Of course
 thanks
 to David "Fast Fingers on the Keys" Klinger for
 finding and sending it. I have to admit that I have
 not yet studied it. I have read it, but I think that
 it requires some study. You are invited to do that
 and
 send us a report! We would love that!

 Dear Gram,
  Just retuned from a one-day show in Melbourne
 today.
    Had a conversation with a dealer (Don Vosburgh)
 that might interest you. Possibly you being the all
 knowing-all seeing in the field of MPC perhaps you
 already know of this.
   Anyway, he told me that in Vietnam he was in the
 Air
 Force and on C-Day he would fly out by chopper to
 men
 in the field and collect their MPC to be turned in
 and
 issue them a receipt. The next week he would go back
 and issue them that amount in new MPC.
 
 Mike
 
 Dear Esteemed (?) Editor,
 A question was raised in a recent article about the
 value of an Indian Rupee in 1941.  It was about 11
 grams of silver and close to fifty cents in U.S.
 money.  I can remember a man had to pay about Four
 Rupees for a marriage license in Burma just before
 that time, and most men had to borrow it from their
 family.  So a Rupee was a significant amount of
 money
 to an Indian or other locals in the Empire of India
 and surrounding areas in 1941!
   I would like to comment on Mr Goldstein's "My
 thoughts on MPC VOID Notes" item in a recent Gram
 because he was concerned about the recent increase
 in
 the number of them being offered for sale.  
 As you know, I am a frequent visitor to Viet Nam and
 have brought back several of these pieces back for
 you
 and others when I find a new variety, or when they
 are
 on someone's want list.  Since they first appeared a
 few years ago, I have seen only a few during each
 visit and sometimes none at all.  I strongly believe
 that the current sources of them are several
 Vietnamese collectors (some who are also dealers)
 need
 some money and have offered those parts of their
 collections for sale that could generate some quick
 cash.  Business is slow back in Viet Nam and they
 have
 to still pay the rent on their stores.  If anyone
 has
 any more questions about them, please contact me at
 Howard@SEAsianTreasury.com.

 Page 220, #884/2r - Series 641 .50 Replacements
 On page 284, it is broken down into 2 printings.
 That's correct, BUT, on page 220 he lists only (1)
 printing reported. It should "list" both first and
 second printings.

 Page 287, Series 661 Series Summary, 25 cent note:
 the
 "list" shows "#CU as 10(7) . It should read, 8(7).
 As
 only 8 are known in CU. Just recount P.289.

 Page 398, Series #541 $10 on "UNC." price is $2500,
 on P.214 the UNC. price is $3500. Also the rest of
 the
 prices don't match all the way to "VG" on this
 issue.
 They should be the same price.
