The local football season gets off the mark to-morrow with a programme of fifteen which, if inemory serves aright, constitutes a record for the Hong- kong Football League.

Mr. Darling, interviewed by
bu Reuter, said the bank could gold and silver for a minimum cas! price, and pay Rex for it. Th great idea was to establish a new bi-metallism, so that the Bank o Empire could buy silver at a pric bearing a fixed ratio to its mini-! mum price for gold.
He emphasised the need for re habilitating silver, thus enhancing the purchasing power of millions in China and India.-Reuter.
