An official decree has been issued by Alfred Hugenberg, Minister of Economics and Agriculture, announcing fundamental changes in the Bourse regulations. The new rules, which are to become effective on April 29, reduce the Bourse Committee from 72 to 43, and gives the Government the power of veto over the appointments of members of the Bourse and the Bourse Commissioner. It also empowers the Government to remove “undesirable elements” from the Bourse. It is understood that similar rules have been drafted for other Bourses in various parts of Germany.
