The Relief department of the Czechoslovak National Council, with offices in New York, was closed in February. Balance of funds on hand were to be used for the purchase of American Relief Administration food drafts for the Czechoslovak Red Cross.


The total circulation of paper money in the Czechoslovak Republic on January 9 was 4,854,000.000 crowns, that is about 340 crowns per unit of population. That would be $68 per head on the basis of normal rate of exchange, about the same as in the United States; measured by the present depreciated value of crown, circulation per head would be less than $4.00. It cannot be said that the Czechoslovak Republic owes its economic ills to inflated currency.
