SIR MONTAGU WEBB'S VIEWS.»
Invited to express his views on the future of exchange Bir Montagu Wobb replied to representative of the Associated Press of India:The outlook! at the moment is one of great uncertainty. India has to meet sterling obligations in London of about thirty million sterling Barometer
Temperature per annum. Is the balance of trade in
Humidity her favour during the current year going to exceed this ampoint? That is the Wind Direction
Force question. If so, then the demand abroad weather for remittances to India will surely sengel Raim up the value of the rupes and buyers in London may be ready to bid one and five pence or one and six pence or even moré Such a state of affairs would depend upon the ability of Europe to make large purchases of India's surplus! Products this year. Europe used to take! over fifty-six per cent. of India's exports before the war. I do not think that Europe will be able to bay that much this year. It seems very doubtful whether the present rise in Exchange continue much further. "

.Asked to give his opinion to the figure at which the rapes ought now to be stabilised Sir Montagu replied:-That 15 & still more difficult problem. The Babington Smith Committee's recom mendations were based largely on the assumption that the price of silver and other commodities would provably not fall greatly for several years to come. But prices in England and America have fallen very rapidly, and it is therefore now a question whether a return to the two shilling rupee of last century would be wise or not, Looking to the fact that price in the United Kingdom will probably be back at pro-war lovela before long wherene prices, rents and wages in India though falling will probably not all return to pre-war levels for many years, if ever, I am inclined now to think that it would be in the best interest of India to try to stabilise the rupoo at point nearer to one shilling than to, two shillings. The Associated Chambers of Commerce of India and Coylon last month resolved unanimously to ask the Government to do nothing in mesatime but to loe world conditions settle down more in the direction of the normal before making any further attempta. to fix the ratio between the rupee and the sovoreign. I am fully in nord with this policy
