New currency regulations published today are expected to create fresh difficulties for emigrants to England and South Africa.
Prospective emigrants to those countries are not to be permitted to take with them any merchandise, according to the regulations. Even machinery and tools for personal use are forbidden.
The regulations specify that exchanges of real estate between Jews leaving the country and Germans returning to the fatherland will be permitted only after special permits have been granted by the currency authorities.
