We next describe the present cur- rency system of Hong Kong (para-

graphs 85 to 29) and point out that it must be considered in its relations to the currency systems of China, to certain feature of which we re- fer (paragraphs 90 to 95).

After some remarks on the use of Hong Kong currency fu China (paragraphs 96 to 98) we give an account of the functions of the Hong Kong dollar as an exchange currency and draw special attention to the fact that it supplies the lack of a fully developed exchange cur- rency in parts of South China (para- graph 99 to 101).

We then describe what seem to us to be the defects of the present currency system (paragraphs 102 to 109) and make the following pro- posals for its reform:-

(1) the legal tender status of the dollar coin to be limited to $10;

(2) bank-notes to be made un- limited legal tender;

(3) notes to te convertible into silver bullion;

(4) notes to be obtainable for silver bullion;;.
