AMERICAN EXPERT'S
WARNING
Washington, Nov. 18. Mr. Rene Leon, the New York silver expert and former counsellor to the Coinage Committee of the House of Representatives, has circularised the Silver, Bloc in the Senate regarding 'China's monetary policy.
He says that China's programme will force China to acquire foreign balances either through a loan or the sale of their local paper currency against foreign ex- change which would then be converted into gold held abroad subject to sale for the management of the
currency.
E
Also he said that, because of Japan's objections to a loan, it was most likely that China would resort to the latter course which would have the effect of further rarefying gold and the manipulation downward of, Shanghai and Hongkong exchange rates through the issuance of printing press currency.
He said: "Those who induced the Nanking Government to make the move, apparently acted more In haste than in good judgment, international injecting into the
situation another factor In price destruction through low exchange ratea baing artificially created?"— United PreER.
