...Schacht is to have no further government role he is out presumably not only as Economics Minister but also as President of the Reichsbank, the post in which he won fame as "the ablest central banker in Europe." These many years Dr. Schacht has stood off Germany's creditors with phenomenal adroitness; he created and managed the trickiest set of currencies the world has ever seen, the various varieties of German marks; and more recently he has sewed up banks, governments and firms in many countries of the world in barter deals by which Germany, since she could...

With gold in the Reichsbank dwindling toward zero, Germany, since the rise of raw-material prices in 1935, has had to export finished goods at uneconomical prices in order to get currency to buy abroad such raw materials-copper, tin, oil-as she cannot manufacture synthetically...
