The Berlin report published in the United States that Germany had consented to repatriation of Netherland Jews was without official confirmation here today.
The report had stated that an agreement had been concluded between the Reich and the Netherlands under which Jews returning to the Netherlands could withdraw a maximum of from 30,000 to 35,000 marks.
The balance of the capital, according to the report, must still be deposited in blocked accounts, subject to a clearing arrangement between the two countries.
