In a passage relating to the Im perial aspect of the matter, the Com- miltee observe:: While each of our witnesses concerned with, the finance of commerce with British Domlaloma saw disadvantage in one or other of the proposed decimal schemes, none of them suggested any disadvantage from the Imperial point of view in the existing system. We infer from the inability of three important banks carrying on business in British Dominions overseas to accept our invitation to give evidence, and from the divergence of view among the members of the overseas Banks Asso- ciation which, prevented them from furnishing a collective opinion that

THE MINORITY REPORTS.

The first minority report is signed by Lord Southwark, Mr. Harold Cox, Mr. Theodore McKenna, and Mr. G. C. Vyle, This contains the fol- lowing: "The primary case for decimal coinage can be stated in a sentence. All our arithmetic is based [on a decimal notation, and therefore it is clearly a convenience to be able to make our monetary calculations | on the same decimal basis. The fact that the great majority of witnesses from all classes did desire a change from the present system and only a triffing number from any class objected to any change is a very vital factor in pressing for a change. There is no evidence at all of any "hostility on the part of any sub- stantial majority of the masses of the people.

"The real difficulty in changing the value of the penny arises from the question of industrial insurance and friendly society payments and, to less extent, National Health- Insurance payments. As regards the industrial premiums and friendly society payments there would be considerable trouble in altering exis- ting premium and the corresponding benefits to be received by the insur ed. The offices naturally do not desire to undertake the necessary is evident that work, but it with the decreasing value of the penny there could be readily devised a method by which the insured would find it so much to their advantage to obtain increased benefits for the payment of 5 mils instead of 4 16 mils (the value of the present penny) that, with the goodwill of the offices, the change could be voluntarily carried out, without loss to the cfices and with due consideration for the insurance agents and the insured. Health In surance payments being statutory can be adjusted by statute, and are now, it is believed, in process of revision and could readily be revised on a mi basis,

"In our opion it would be advantageous to this country from the point of view of both home and overseas trade to adopt a system of decimal coinage. That it should be adopted without waiting for further inquiry as to the desirability of adopting a metric system of weights and measures, as, if at any time this country, obtained such a system the advantages of decimal coinage would be even more apparent.. That of the decimal systems proposed that based on the (on the lines of the South- wark Bill) is the most desirable," and that the difficulties suggested 'in altering the nominal value of the penny are exaggerated and could be readily overcome

There is a second minority report, signed by Lord Leverhulme, Mr. George Hayhurst, and Captain Albert | Smith. They dissociate themselves entirely from, any proposal having the pound sterling or sovereign as its basis, and recommend instead a decimal system of 'coinage having the present halfpenzy as its basis with one hundred halfpennies to be caled a Royal as the unit. The coins they recommend would then be as under: 100 halfpennies (silver), 1 Royal; 50 halfpennies (silver), half Royal; 25 halfpennies (silver), quarter Royal; 10 balfpennies (silver);5 half- pennies, nickel bit; I halfpenny, bronze halfpenny,

In a reservation to the report of the majority, Lord Ashton of Hyde and Mr. Charles Godfrey say: 'While we entirely agree that no change in our currency system is desirable at present, we are unwilling definitely to reject the idea of a possible adoption of a decimal system in the future... For home purposes our present currency system is adequate perhaps even better than a decimal system, but, a". decimal system

would bring us more into line with other nations, would in our opinion benefit foreign trade, and, more important still, would. greatly facilitate the adoption ofta metrical system of weights and measures in this country. We hold that a reform of our weights and measures is sufficiently important to justify an alteration to a decimal- system of coinage if it can be reached without too great. inconvenience to the public.
