The Chairman then proceeded to introduce the subject of the currency, remaking that the report of the Commission was not yet available here, but he proposed to seich its main features and give them some account of the proceedings of the Commission. The Committee had before
vantage to have a coin which would not alto- gether be foreign to the natives, and which would approximate c'asely to the Japanese yen and the new Manila coin. They conceived it would be eminently desirable to have as little change as possible in a coin which was familiar to all in that part of the East. The Committee recommended that a considerable supply of the new dollars be obtained, and as soon as received they should be pat in circulation concurrently with the present British and Mexican dollars. The first supply of the new dollars might be obtained by remitting to one of the indian mints a portion of the coin reserve of the Currency Commis sioners to be melted down and turned into new Straits dollars. This racess might be continued until practically the whole of the coin reserve

outside the colony. What he did feel was this, that there might be for a time some consider- ON able tightness of the money market in Singa- pare if great care was not exercised by the Government in providing sufficient coin. At the outset, there would be a great opportunity of introducing paper money, and he looked to the temporary further extension of the paper currency to relieve any pressure that might take place. But they could see quite well that if the Government were not well advised and permitted the supply of dollars to run danger ously low, the trade of the colony might be seriously hampered. He begged them to keep in mind that they were adopting an artificial scheme which was not going to settle things for ever, and that its success depended upon two things-the ratio being sufficiently high to prevent coin being sent out of the colony, and on the honesty of the Government, as to which there was no doubt.-L. & C.

Vendervelde alleges on strength of his informatories £125,000,000 to be drawn from the amortisation foad of the Congo bonds. For this purpose, as the trustees of the Congo funda refuse to agree to any such sequestration, a number of new trustees were appointed, who at once declared themselves in favour of the King's plan. Furthermore, a bill was laid before Farliament, according to which the State savings bank was empowered to invest its deposits in foreign enterprises, with the idea of assisting the enterprises in China.
