STERLING | CHUNG HWA
BREAKS IN NEW YORK
New York, To-day..
On the foreign exchanges' yes- terday afternoon, sterling broke badly as the war threat seemed more ominous and Britain an- nounced evacuation, and also the closing of the London Stock Ex- change.
Sterling temporarily slumped to 4.27 and then moderately rallied. Meanwhile, other currencies show- ed very errátic and súdden move- ments, with some rising as shar- ply as sterling, declined,
With all pegs removed and stabilisation husbanding their re- sources, each currency drifted, influenced promptly by sizable orders cither way.
The lira is reported to have temporarily broken loose from its official moorings for the first time for many years.
The belga, the guilder and the Swiss franc are very buoyant, presumably because of the flight of funds from these countries.
On the other hand, Far Eastern currencies are mostly weak, with rates remaining nominal.',
The futures market continued very restricted with sterling dis- counts little changed. However, such rates are more or: less nominal-Reuter.

WANG CHING-WEI CIRCUS
SCATHING ATTACKS on Wang Ching-wei are made by leading Chinese newspapers here to-day in editorial comments on the "Sixth National Congress of Kuomin tang Delegates" held in Shanghai.
The "Ta Kung Pao" declares that since his return to Shanghai from Ja- pan, Wang has become an out-and-out traitor. Everything that he does; or declares is aimed merely at courting the favour of his Japanese support-
ers.
The Journal ridicules 'the holding of the Shanghai meeting in the name of the Kuomintang.
