The Bank announced that paper currency in circulation jumped 1,127,000,000 yen in a single day to reach an alltime high.
(At the beginning of this year money in circula- tion was a little over 1,000,000,000 yen. The government's freezing act, aimed desperately to check inflation, was taken in February, 1946, when banknotes in circulation were about hall that amount. From then on, inflation steadily gained).
