(To the Editor of the "China, Main") Sa-The Bou, Mr Brewin, speaking of the Technical Institute the other evening said that one could understand the "subsidiary ovinage "question, unless he had. #tudied political economy. After reading ***Truth's remarkable siber in your

Is it not an undisputed axiom of political economists that Govaru ments are accorded the sole right of epining money on the distinct understanding that their caize aball always command their par value in the land where they are inued? The Goremment of Hongkong has dishonoured its own coin, therefore it
