A new or compromise flag will be devised and submitted to the Reichstag by the Cabinet; but until that is approved or rejected all German consulates (except at inland European towns) will continue to fly the merchant marine flag (greatly resembling the old imperial flag) as well as the ordinary banner of the Reich...
