THE STRAITS CURRENCY.
THE COMMITTEE OF INQUIRY.
Dated 5th inst. a Router's wire to the Straits Timmer says
A Colonial Office commit e has been ap
pointed to consider the question of establishing a gold standard currency in the Straits Settle ments and the Fede nted Malay States. The commillee is composed as follows -Sir David Barbour, Mr. William Adanspa, C.M.G., and Messrs. Johnson and Blain of the Colonial Office and Treasury respectively. The first meeting of the committee will be held early this month.

Commenting on the news the paper states: The chairman of the committee is probably the ablest living expert in matters of this sort. Sir David Miller Barbour, K.C.M.G., K.C.S.1., was a member of the Royal Commission on Gold and Silver, 1886; a member of the Counc 1 of the Governor-General of India, 1887-93; of the Council on Financial Relations of Great Britain and Ireland. 1893 ; Member of the Royal Council on Sugar Graving Colonies of the West Indies, 1897 and of Indian Currency Committee, 1898 ; and Chairman of Committee on the Currency of the West African Colonics, 1899. Mr. William Adamson, C.M.G., whose long resi 'ence is, and great knowledge of the Strails, has made his name a household word in the Colony, is a gentleman who will be able to speak of what he has learned on the spot, and of what he has ex- perienced as a merchant dealing with, these parts for a great number of years, and he should be of the greatest assista, ce is advising the Committee.
