Inflation Fears

Tokyo, Nov. 1.

The Bank of Japan's announcement over the weekend revealing that currency in 'circula- tion had reached another unprecedented peak of 167,665,000,000 yen impressed most obser- vers as another danger signal that a hard win- ter, economically, politically and socially, is in store for inflation-ridden Japan. The Bank announced that paper currency in circulation jumped 1,127,000,000 yen in a single day to reach an alltime high.

(At the beginning of this year money in circula- tion was a little over 1,000,000,000 yen. The government's freezing act, aimed desperately to check inflation, was taken in February, 1946, when banknotes in circulation were about hall that amount. From then on, inflation steadily gained).
