All summer airplanes have been hopping off gold-laden from England. Many winged to Germany, attracted by legitimate opportunities for high return offered in the Reich, where the discount rate of the Reichsbank stood at 7½%, a potent magnet. But even more gold planes sped to France, and that was passing strange. With the Bank of France's rate at 3½%, the zeal of that institution to acquire and hold gold bullion was regarded in London...
